534 Mr. P. Cameron on new 



antennae, a broad, short, oblique line over each, and the occiput, 

 black. Front and vertex coarsely closely punctured, thickly 

 covered with short white hair. Clypeus pyriform, broadly 

 rounded above, sparsely and somewhat strongly punctured; 

 the apex in the middle depressed and with a shallow incision ; 

 the sides forming oblique stout teeth. Thorax rufous, coarsely 

 and closely punctured except at the base and apex ; the lower 

 part of the pronotum, the edges of the mesonotum (narrowly 

 at the base and sides, broader at the apex), the base broadly 

 in the middle, the apex of the scutellum, the sides of the post- 

 scutellum, the middle of the metanotum broadly, its sides, the 

 base of the pronotum narrowly, the base and apex of the 

 mesopleuraa, a large irregular mark, a line along the furrow, 

 the base and lower half of the metapleuraa, and the breast 

 black. The scutellum is more closely punctured than the 

 mesonotum ; the postscutellum has behind and above the 

 oblique apical slope a stout somewhat irregular ridge ; the 

 apex of the segment has an oblique slope ; it is smooth and 

 shining, the centre hollowed, the sides oblique ; in the middle 

 is a keel bordered by fine stria?. Pro- and mesopleuraj 

 coarsely and closely punctured, except at the base; meta- 

 pleura? smooth, sparsely punctured; there are no teeth on the 

 sides ; the apex roundly dilated. Legs rufous ; the four 

 anterior coxse behind, the hinder almost entirely, the fore 

 femora narrowly at the base behind, the middle narrowly at 

 the base in front and broadly behind, and the posterior except 

 at the apex black. Wings yellowish, fuscous along the edge; 

 the apex with a violaceous cloud ; the costa and stigma 

 rufous, the nervures black ; the hinder wings hyaline. Ab- 

 domen rufous j the basal slope of the petiole, an irregular 

 line on the base of the second segment, and the bases of the 

 third and fourth segments black; the basal ventral segments 

 are more or less marked with black. 



In the male the black on the vertex is broader and extends 

 to the eyes ; the part below it is yellowish, tinged with 

 rufous; the oblique marks above the antennaa are as in the 

 female, but there is no black between the antennas ; the 

 clypeus is as wide as its longest length, is smooth, except for 

 some punctures; the oblique lower part is slightly shorter 

 than the upper; the incision is shallower and wider than in 

 the female, and the part above it is not depressed ; the 

 markings as in the female. 



In general coloration it more resembles carnaticum, with 

 which it also agrees in the form of the male middle femora ; 

 but in the form of the clypeus &c. it differs, as it does also 

 from brunneum.
