shorter than 'the greatest width of the wing ; axillae of mesono- 

 tum not encroaching on the parapsides; tarsi 5-jointed; pos- 

 terior ocelli remote from the eye margins ; abdomen subsessile.

\J Coiialoccnis ciiii:;iilatiis, sp. nov. 



Female : Yellow ; the face, the whole of the flagellum of the 

 antennae, two adjacent spots on 'the front of the mesonotum 

 which do not reach back to the middle, one on the anterior angle 

 of the scapulae, another on each side adjoining the tegidae and 

 a median one between these, the propodeum, the meso-and meto- 

 pleura, the hind coxae, all the tibiae, the tarsi above, two bands 

 near the middle of the abdomen (appearing as one very broad 

 one in contracted specimens) and the sheaths of the ovipositor 

 dark, black or blackish fuscous. The scape and second joint 

 of the antennae and the front and middle coxae are more or less

 1 have examined. 



Folyncina rcdirz'ioli, sp. nov. 



Third and ten following joints in the male elongate, sub- 

 equal, in the female the third, fourth and fifth are very slender 

 and elongate the following three much shorter and wider, the 

 club about as long as the three preceding together. The fringe 

 at the apex of the front wings is much shorter than the greatest 

 width of these. The basal joint of the hind tarsi is very long, 

 subequal to the other three joints together. 



Black and smooth, except for very fine microscopic sculpture, 

 the three basal ijoints of the antennae in both sexes, all the legs, 

 except the apical joints of the tarsi, and the abdominal pedicel 

 are yellow, or brownish yellow. The pedicel is elongate, and
