ITymenoptera from Nortliern India. 221 



Areolet almost square, the recurrent iicrvure received near 

 the apical third. Abdomen short ; petiole shining, strongly- 

 punctured : between the apex and tlie middle are scattered 

 punctures ; the second and third segments are closely punc- 

 tured, the others smooth ; gastrocoeli smooth, hardly de- 

 pressed in the middle. 



Suvalta pallidinerva, sp. n. 



Agrees closely in coloration with S. annulipes, but raa}'^ be 

 known from it by the longer, more slender petiole, which is 

 not so much dilated at the apex nor so strongly punctured ; 

 the head is wider compared with the mesothorax, and the 

 pronotum is much more dilated at the base, it beiug there 

 distinctly tuberculate. 



Length to apex of petiole 7 mm.

Black; clypeus (except at apex), palpi, the inner orbits to 

 near the end of the vertex, the outer more broadly from near 

 the top, edge of pronotum (broadly in front, more narrowly 

 behind), scutellum broadly in the middle, a broad line on 

 the sides of median segment from shortly aI)ove the spines, 

 a large mark on the base of propleurae (broad above, gradually 

 narrowed towards the apex), the tubercles, a large mark ou 

 the lower side of the base of mesopleurse (curved and nar- 

 rowed above), the base and lower side straight, a mark under 

 the hind wings, the greater part of the lateral scutellar keels,

Mesonotum rugosely punctured, the punctures running 

 into striations in the middle. Scutellum covered with long- 

 fuscous hair, smooth ; postscutellum very smooth and shining. 

 The depression in the middle of median segment is smooth, 

 at its sides it is finely punctured, the outer part coarsely 

 punctured. The segment outside the keel is coarsely rugosely 

 punctured ; the teeth broadly rounded at the top, oblique at 

 the sides ; behind them are some curved keels. The upper- 

 side of the pronotum is roundly incised in the centre, the
