Ilijincnoptera from Northern India. 217 



mesonotura tliickly with long fuscous hair, the legs sparsely 

 with white pubescence. Wings hyaline, the apex smoky, 

 nervures and stigma black. Apical joint of antennae 

 thickened, nearly twice the length of the preceding two 

 joints united. Front alutaceous, indistinctly furrowed in 

 the centre ; vertex opaque, finely, not very distinctly punc- 

 tured. Clypeus not carinate in the middle, its apex broadly 

 rounded, raised, smooth. Palpi pallid testaceous, black at 

 the base. The apex of metanotum has an oblique slope ; 

 the basal furrow extends from the base to the apex, becomes 

 gradually wider, is shallow and finely transversely striated ; 

 the furrow on apical slope wide, deep on the basal half, 

 V-shaped ; the apical third of the segment is somewhat 

 coarselj' transversely striated. Abdominal petiole narrow, 

 with only the apex dilated ; it is as long as the succeeding 

 three segments united, its apex distinctly clavate. ? ^ .

Black ; the basal five or six joints of the antennae fulvous, 

 the scape thickly covered with white hair, the flagellum with 

 shorter blackish pubescence ; clypeus and mandibles rufous, 

 palpi pale testaceous ; the apex ef pronotum and tubercles 

 fulvous ; the base and sides of the first abdominal segment 

 and the base of the second and third segments broadly rufo- 

 testaceous. Apex of fore coxae, trochanters, femora, tibiae, 

 and tarsi fulvous, the femora of a deeper hue, the apex of 

 the middle femora, the middle tibise and base of tarsi, and 

 the base of the hinder tibiae pale testaceous. Wings hyaline, 

 with a slight fulvous tinge, the costa and stigma fulvous, 

 the latter lighter in tint ; the radius and cubitus testaceous. 

 Face, eye-incision, outer orbits and the base, sides and apex 

 of mesonotum thickly covered with golden pubescence ; the

 fulvous hair ; the pleurae and sternum with short pale fulvous 

 pubescence. Front and vertex sparsely punctured, the 

 former above with a wide and shallow furrow ; the lower 

 half triangularly keeled. On the apex of the basal half of 

 the median segment is an elongated fovea ; the apical half 

 deeply furrowed in the middle. The apical third of the 

 petiole dilated. 



Comes nearest to T. color utum, Sra. ; that species has only 

 a small tubercle above the base of the antennae, while in the 

 present species there is not a tubercle, but a long stout
