Ichueunionïdae, 33Ö 



Hab. Himalajas. 



Anteunae pale yellow below and in the middle also above. 

 Face aud base of clypeus strongly punctured. Thorax thickly 

 covered with pale pubesceuce, the pro- aud mesothorax closely, 

 but not strougly, pnnctured. Metauotom irreojularly strongly 

 punctured : the areola almost impuuctate, the sides at the 

 base sparsely punctured. Propleurae minutely, the meso-more 

 strougly, the meta- still more strongly punctured, The base 

 of the post-petiole aud the 2'id and 3''^ segments are closely 

 punctured. Gastrocoeli shallow, striated at the base. 



8. Thascia gen. nov. 



Areola coffin-chaped, twice longer than broad, widened 

 and obliquely depressed at the base. Postpetiole finely lon- 

 gitudiually striated in the centre, the sides sparsely punctured. 

 Gastrocoeli deep ; the space between wide, punctured. Areolet 

 triangulär, the uervures unitiug above ; the disco-cubital 

 nervure not broken by a stump of a nervure. Ventral keel 

 ou segments 2 — 4. Scutellum flat, not margiued laterally. 



The bod}' and legs are thickly covered with short 

 pubesceuce ; the wiugs appear to be shorter thau usual, 

 compared with the body; the transverse median nervure is 

 received distiuctly beyoud the transverse basal. Temples 

 broad, rounded. Malar space moderately large. Mandibular 

 teeth large; the upper distiuctly longer than the loweré 

 Tarsi not spined. Apex of median segment with an oblique, 

 straight slope ; at its base is a wide, deep trausverse furrow; 

 the keel bouuding the base of the areola is indistinct, 



I ouly know the cf of this genus. It may be knowu 

 by the long coffin-shaped areola, pilose body, triangulär 

 areolet and by the trausverse median nervure not being inter- 

 stitial. The post-petiole is not clearly separated ; the 

 abdominal segments are uarrowed laterally at the apex, thus 

 being clearly separated. 



The long-coffiu-shaped areola is as in Leptotheciis ; it 

 may be kuown from it by the median segment not being 

 spined, by the face not being flat, by the hairy body, by 

 the deeper gastrocoeli, by the abdominal segments being clearly 

 separated, by the temples not being uarrowed and by the 

 discocubital nervure not being broken by a nervure. 



1. Tb. pilosa sp. nov. c?-
