184 Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell — Descriptions and 



Among the Indian species this maj be compared v/itli 

 T. phry7ie (Nurse), which has the antennre as long as body, 

 the abdominal bands on second and third segments only 

 '' somewhat narrowed in the middle," and the hair on the 

 legs differently coloured. It may also be compared with 

 T. testaceitarsis, Cam. ,h\it that has rufo-testaceous tarsi, aud 

 I infer that the antennae are black. 



Tetraloniella aliena, sp. n. 



S . — Length 8 mm. or a little more ; antennse about 

 7f mm. 



Black, with pale pubescence, very pale ochreous on thorax 

 above, white on face, pleura, cheeks, and legs ; abdomen 

 very dark reddish, M'ith dense greyish-white tomentum 

 covering the fifth segment, leaving a narrow apical margin 

 on fourth, leaving a broader margin (about apical third in 

 middle) on third, and on second reduced to base aud anterior 

 lateral corners (reaching hind margin at sides) ; head broad ; 

 eyes pale greenish ochreous ; clypeus (which is densely and 

 rather strongly punctured), large spot at base of mandibles, 

 and labrum, all lemon-yellow; mandibles (except for the 

 spot) dark, faintly reddish toward apex; maxillary blade 

 obtuse, not much elongated ; maxillary palpi small and 

 short, five-jointed, the third joint longest, nearly as long as 

 fourth and fifth together, these subequal ; scape short, black ; 

 flagellum entirely bright ferruginous; mesothorax densely 

 punctured ; tegulse pale testaceous, very hairy. Wings 

 hyaline, faintly dusky, nervures and stigma testaceous ; first 

 r. n. joining second s.m. at about the beginning of its last 

 third; third s.m. narrowed about half above ; b. n. falling a 

 little short of t.-m. ; small joints of tarsi ferruginous ; hair 

 on inner side of tarsi pale orange-fulvous ; abdomen minutely 

 granular ; apical plate hairy, not notched subapically ; hair 

 of apical segments very pale fawn-colour.

Distinguished from Tetralonia erythrocera, Cam., by the 

 longer antennae and testaceous nervures ; from T. cassandra 

 (Nurse) by the basal instead of apical abdominal bands and 

 the entirely red flagellum ; from T. punctata, Cam., by the 

 dark mandibles, tegulaj not yellow, and hair of abdomen not 

 fulvous. This is evidently congeneric with T. brevipennis 

 and T. punctata, which Cameron describes as having four- 

 joiuted maxillary palpi. Cameron's figure of the palpi of
