 slanting; face subquadrate, punctate, narrower than the forehead, 

 slightly emarginate against the eyes ; clypeus separated from the 

 face by a shallow groove, apex rounded ; mandibles moderate, 

 teeth equal ; head, seen in front, subtriangiilar ; antennge about 

 half the length of the body, attenuated at the apex. Thorax 

 longer than high, rather shining ; mesonotum punctate, interstices 

 not reticulate ; metathorax smooth, shining, with hardly any 

 sculpture, rounded, with five superior arese ; supero-medial penta- 

 gonal, about as long as broad or scarcely so ; mesopleura shining, 

 punctate ; disc smooth and shining. Abdomen longer than the 

 head and thorax, and about as wide as the latter, smooth and 

 shining; petiole about or very little longer than the post-petiole, 

 this stout, with almost straight sides, and rather more than twice as 

 wide as the petiole ; 2nd segment about one-third longer than 

 wide ; 3rd slightly transverse ; 6th and 7th deeply notched above ; 

 aculeus quite two-thirds the length of the abdomen, curving 

 upwards. Legs rather slender. Wings with a subsessile or sub- 

 petiolated areolet ; recurrent nervure received almost in the 

 middle ; external radial nervure almost straight ; stigma not 

 narrow ; transverse anal not divided. 



Black ; palpi testaceous ; apex of mandibles reddish ; legs red, 

 coxffi and base of front trochanters black, hind trochanters black, 

 extreme apex red ; tibiae pale whitish yellow above, apex and 

 before the base of the hind ones above pale reddish brown ; 

 calcariae pale, rather more than half the length of the metatarsi ; 

 hind tarsi fuscous; 1st joint almost entirely pale reddish yellow, 

 base of remaining joints slightly so ; claws with two or three 

 rather coarse teeth at the base (pectinated). Nervures black ; 

 stigma yellow testaceous ; tegulse whitish yellow. Female. Length,

Two females were bred by Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher from 

 Lyccena alsus, August, 1883. It is easily distinguished 

 by the long aculeus, the 6th and 7th dorsal segments of 

 the abdomen being deeply notched, and the colour of 

 the le^s.
