areolet slightly oblique, narrowed in front, the nervures 

 almost uniting there. 6 . 



Length 11 mm. 



Hab. Khasia Hills. Coll. Rothney. 



Pace closely and strongly punctured, its middle above 

 almost transversely striated ; clypeus less strongly punctured, 

 its apex smooth ; it is thickly covered with short white, the 

 labrum fringed with long fulvous, hair. Vertex near the 

 eyes punctured, the centre with three keels, running from 

 the hinder ocelli, which turn outwardly to the central 

 furrow, the front finely transversely striated. Mesonotum 

 closely and strongly punctured. Scutellum at base rugosely 

 punctured, the rounded apex closely longitudinally striated ; 

 the keels large, black, and reaching to the apical third. 

 Middle of metanotum at base with an oblique slope, the sides 

 margined, very smooth and shining; areola somewhat wider 

 than long, the base rounded, apex transverse, it is irregu- 

 larly longitudinally rugose, the middle keeled ; the lateral 

 arese rugose, in the centre almost reticulated ; teeth large, 

 wide, Propleurse obscurely punctured above; the meso- 

 pleurse strongly punctured, the middle slightly, the apex 

 more strongly longitudinally striated ; the metapleurse with 

 the spiracular area closely obliquely striated. Postpetiole 

 closely, finely, irregularly striated, the other abdominal 

 segments closely punctured ; gastrocoeli deep, finely striated 

 at the base ; apex aciculated. 



Algathia flavo-balteata, sp, n. 



Agrees in size and colour with A. robusta; may easily be 

 separated from it by the form of the scutellum, which has a 

 much sharper oblique slope, by the postscutellum being only 

 obscurely, not strongly striated at the base, by the base of 

 metanotum being aciculated, by the areola being longer 

 compared with its breadth, by the black on the hind femora 

 and tibiae being less extended, by the hind coxae being almost 

 entirely yellow above, and by the less distinct curve on the 

 apex of clypeus. 



Joints 9-15 of antennae below, the face and clypeus (except 

 for a small oval mark below the anteunse), mandibles, palpi, 

 inner eye-orbits, the outer from near the top more broadly, 

 white. A narrow line on the pronotum, tegulse, a large mark 

 near the apex of mesonotum, scutellums, two broad curved 

 lines on the sides of median segment at the apex, a broad 

 line on the lower side of the propleurse, a broader one (curved 

 upwards at the base on the lower side of the mesopleuree), a
