the pétiole; the head aad thorax coarsely rngosely punctnred; 

 the wiugs fuscous-violaceous ; the pétiole broad, triangnlarly 

 Darrowed at the base; the apex fnrrowed iu the middle. — 

 Leugth 13 — 14 mm. 



Hab. Sikkim. 



Head closely, rugosely punctured ; there is a uarrow 

 longitudinal keel betwcen the antounae. Clypeus uot much 

 longer thau ils greatest breadth ; its apex broad, depressed, 

 transverse. Thorax closely rugosely punctured; the parapsidal 

 furrows are distiuct ou the apical half of the mesouotum; 

 the scutellum is less closely punctured thau the mesouotum 

 and is dceply furrowed iu the centre; the post-seutellum is 

 rugosely punctured, except ou tlie apical slope; it is separated 

 from the scutellum by a smooth, trausverse furrow. 

 The median segment, has an oblique, almost vertical slope; 

 it is obliquely hollowed from the sides to the centre where 

 there is a distinct longitudinal keel; the apex of the segment 

 is stoutly keeled ail round. Pro- and raesopleurae closely 

 rugosely puuctured, except on the apical and basai slopes of 

 the latter, which has a wide longitudinal furrow ou the basai 

 half. The base of the metapleurae is smooth and there is, 

 on the smooth part, an oblique furrow above the middle. 

 Legs blackj the claws pale rufous. The triangulär basal slope 

 of the pétiole is shining and sparsely punctured ; the 

 thickeued apical slightly longer thau broad, is strongly, but 

 not very closely, punctnred and is depressed in the middle. 

 The base of the 2"^ segment is narrowly depressed aud 

 coarsely crenulated ; the segment is depressed at the apex ; 

 the base of the dépression is bordered by a band of foveae; 

 its base beneath has an almost perpendicular slope from the 

 top to the bottom aud is clearly separated from the rest of 

 the segment; the apex of the pétiole projects downwaids aud 

 fornis, with the base of the 2'"^ segment, a rouuded incision; 

 its apex is depressed and bounded by a row of foveae at the 

 base like the dorsal part. 



A distinct species, easily recoguised by the short, very broad 

 abdominal pétiole, triaugularly narrowcd at the base; and by 

 the peculiar form of the base of the 2»d ventral segment. 



2. Zetlnis himalayensis, sp. nov. 9- 



Black, closely and strongly punctured ; the scutellum with 

 a smooth shining line dowu the middle; the post-scutellum 

 with a deep, broad furrow in the centre ; the wiugs fuscous- 

 violaceous. — Leugth 23 mm. 



Hab. Sikkim. 



Mandibles broadly rufous before the middle; a rufous 

 band before the apex. Clypeus roundly convex, coarsely
