Icaria fulvinerva, sp. n. 



Ferruginea ; abdomine nigro, petiolo ferrugineo ; tarsis posteriori- 



bus nigris ; alis flavo-hyalinis, nervis stigmateque rufis. § . 

 Long. 17-18 mm. 



Hah. Khasia Hills. Coll. Rothney. 



Antennae ferruginous; darker above, the scape brownish. 

 Front and vertex alutaceous ; the incision and the inner orbits 

 black ; the front with a narrow furrow in the middle ; the 

 part between the antennae projecting, its sides oblique, the 

 centre keeled. Clypeus shining, of a brighter colour than 

 the front, sparsely punctured, its apex thickly fringed with 

 fulvous hair. Mandibles dark ferruginous, sparsely punc- 

 tured, the teeth black. Thorax thickly covered with a silky 

 pile. Mesonotum and scutellum shagreened, the latter with 

 a shallow furrow down the middle. The striae on the meta- 

 notum not prominent and absent from the furrow, which is 

 shallow and black on the apical half. The lower half of the pro- 

 pleurae striated ; the furrow on the mesopleurae black, deep, its 

 basal fork not continued to the base and not much longer than 

 the apical. Legs coloured like the body; the four hinder 

 tarsi black above and for the greater part below ; the calcaria 

 pale. Wings hyaline, with a distinct yellowish tint, espe- 

 cially in front ; the second cubital cellule is fully more than 

 half the length of the third above and slightly less than the 

 space bounded by the first transverse cubital and the first 

 recurrent nervures ; the latter is received shortly in front of 

 the middle. Petiole rufous, longish, its node not much 

 dilated ; it is nearly as long as the second and third segments 

 united; all the segment very smooth and covered with a 

 silky pile. 



A distinct species, easily known by the red head, thorax, 

 and petiole, black abdomen, and fulvous wings. 



Odynerus hindostanus, sp. n. 

 Long. 9 mm. $ . 



Hah. Barrackpore (Rothney). 



Agrees closely with 0. sihilans ; differs from it in the 

 yellow mark on the front being separated from the yellow 

 lateral marks, in the clypeus being broader compared to its 

 length, it being broader than long, its sides are not so straight 

 and its apex in the middle is more distinctly incised, and the 

 second ventral segment bears two large yellow marks. 



Antennae black, the scape yellow, the flagellum rufous 

 beneath. Head black ; the clypeus, a somewhat crown-
