Museum. The latter, a female, has ventral scopa ferru-

Ccelioxys turner i } sp. n. 



? . — Length 10^ mm. 



Black, with bright chestnut-red tegulaa, strongly dusky 

 wings, and narrow bright red hair-bands on the hind margins 

 of the abdominal segments. Hair of eye3 rather long; face 

 with appressed yellowish-grey hair, a conspicuous ochreous 

 tuft under each antenna ; vertex, mesothorax, and scutellum 

 with extremely large punctures, as dense as possible; hair of 

 occiput, upper part of metathorax, &c. reddish brown, of 

 pleura and cheeks dull white; mesothorax and scutellum 

 with a delicate poorly developed median raised line ; scu- 

 tellum not tuberculate in the middle, lateral teeth well- 

 developed, a little curved inwards ; last dorsal abdominal 

 segment delicately keeled, not greatly elongated; last ventral 

 produced far beyond last dorsal, turned downwards, narrow, 

 notched on each side before the end ; first three ventral 

 segments with large well-separated punctures, fourth with 

 smaller punctures. The structure of the end of the abdomen 

 is nearly as in C. elongala, Lep., but the subapical notches 

 are smaller and the last ventral is more evidently conical in 

 outline. 



$ . — Similar, with the same red bands. Face densely 

 covered with yellowish- white hair, but that just beneath the 

 antennae and also that on the eyes ochraceous ; abdomen with 

 a small tooth on each side of penultimate segment, a long red 

 tooth on each side of last segment, and the usual four black 

 apical teeth, the lower ones much longer than the upper ; 

 ventral segments with fringes of pure white hair, the first 

 with the hind margin broadly red (tegument) and only a 

 little, white hair in the middle; anterior coxae with long 

 spines. 



Hab. Shillong, Assam, June and July 1903 {R. Turner).
