196 Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell—Deseriptions and 
between ocelli ; thorax anteriorly, and tubercles, with white 
hair, but hair of mesopleura black ; tegule smaller. Wings 
shorter, marginal cell less sharply acuminate, second sub- 
marginal cell much shorter; hind basitarsi curved but 
simple, not enlarged at end. Abdomen above very smooth 
and shining, not distinctly roughened or punctured ; black 
hair at sides of fifth and sixth segments much shorter. In 
Friese’s table it runs to ZL. dentipes, Smith, but the true 
dentipes is Australian, and has pale yellow hair on face and 
ferruginous nervures ; the stigma and nervures are reddish 
fuscous in LZ. australior, and the dise of the thorax, except 
anteriorly, has black hair. ; 
Coimbatore, S. India, Nov. 12, 1913. 
The abdomen is distinctly narrower than in LZ. atratus. 
Celioxys (Liothyrapis) dormitans, sp. n. 
¢ .—Length about 13 mm. ; anterior wing 7:8 mm. 
F Black, including antenne, tegule, legs, and spurs; 
pubescence pure white, abundant and dense on face, on the 
abdomen forming interrupted bands in the depressions, and 
marginal bands, evanescent or failing in middle; eyes dark 
brown, hairless; mesothorax and scutellum very densely and 
strongly punctured, except that in the middle the shining 
surface can be seen between the punctures (very narrowly 
and slightly on scutellum); scutellum convex, obtusely 
subangular posteriorly ; axillar spines reduced to_ short 
obtuse tubercles. Wings dusky, but not strongly darkened ; 
anterior cox with sharp spines. Abdomen shining, well 
punctured, the punctures on second segment conspicuously 
Jarger than those on third ; terminal segment with a long 
subbasal spine on each side ; ; apex produced, deeply suleate, 
with no median spine ; lower apical spines sharp and diver- 
gent, upper apical divisions briefly bidentate or tridentate. 
Related to C. apicata, Smith, but the end of the abdomen is 
different. In C. apicata the second submarginal cell receives 
the first recurrent nervure some distance from its end; 1 
C. dormitans the first recurrent meets the first transverso- 
cubital nervure. (The C. paces compared is from 
F. Smith’s collection.)
