narrowly black ; the black continued along the inner side of the 

 lateral keel, becoming gradually wider to the base behind, and 

 slightly extending beyond the outer side of the keel ; the middle 

 keel broadly curved and united to the apex of the segment by a 

 lateral one ; pleurae smooth, shining. The basal depression of the 

 scutellum black ; the keel to the middle large and leaf-like, on 

 the apical half much smaller ; the scutellum sparsely covered with 

 long, black hair. The petiole broadly, but not deeply, depressed 

 at the base ; its sides stoutly carinate ; the keels continued down 

 the apical part to the raised middle of the apex, the part between 

 being depressed, broadly at the base, narrowly at the apex ; the 

 second segment black at the base, the black bifurcating to the 

 furrow at the sides ; there is a broad, continuous, transverse line 

 on the centre of the third, a line about three times as long as it 

 is broad on the sides of the fourth, a continuous line on the fifth, 

 a short mark in the centre on either side of the sixth, and an 

 almost complete one across the seventh segment, black ; terebra 

 5 uiillini., the sheaths of the ovipositor black. Legs coloured like 

 the thorax ; the basal joint of the hinder trochanters on the 

 underside, a large mark on the underside of the hinder femora in 

 the middle, the apex of the tibiae and the apical two joints of the 

 hinder tarsi, black. Wings with a distinct fulvous-smoky tinge ; 

 the costa rufo-testaceous ; the stigma rufo-fuscous ; the nervures 

 fuscous ; areolet shortly, but distinctly, appendiculated, triangular ; 

 the recurrent nervure received in the apical third.

Type in the Oxford Aluseum. 



This species appears to be related to Van Volleuhoven's variety 

 in its petiolate areolet ; but all the legs of the latter are flavous 

 throughout, and the abdominal spots are small ; it was captured 

 at Ambarawa, in Java.

$ . Flavous. Head smooth, with the ocellar region triangularly 

 black, face densely and clypeus less denselv white-pilose. Thorax 

 smooth ; mesonotum with three large apical marks, of which the 

 lateral are irregularly oval, and the central larger and broader 

 than long ; notauli slender and indicated only on the apical slope; 

 metanotum with the basal lateral areae black, large, and pentagonal, 

 internally elongate and roundly curved, externally with the basal 

 half almost straight and the apical obliquely sloped to the lateral 

 carina, where it forms a sharp angle with the inner one ; all the 

 other area; wanting. Abdomen : basal segment, with two black 

 marks, less than one-fourth longer than apically broad, with its 

 basal impression laterally carinate ; the remaining segments broader 

 than long, the second and apical smooth, remainder closely and
