c? , Black. Head with the clypeus, mandibles (except at apices), 

 inner orbits broadly, arid the centrally black and somewhat strongly 

 punctate face, pale flavous ; vertex, and, the centrally suli-ate 

 irons, smooth and iiitidulous. Antennae piceous, with the scape 

 beneath, and a broad flagellar band near their apices, white. 

 Thorax black, with the following pale flavous markings : a line 

 on the irregularly strigose propleurae below, callosities beneath all 

 the radices, large hamate marks op. either side of the closely and 

 strongly punctate mesonotum in front, others on the lower part 

 of the irregularly punctate mesopleurse which have the apical half 

 triangularly dilated, and others on the closelv and much more 

 strongly punctate metapleurac which are broadly rounded basally 

 above and apically narrower; metanotum closely and strongly trans- 

 iicicnlate, becoming more or less reticulate apically. Scutellum less 

 strongly and closely punctate than the. mesonotum.and, except apic- 

 ally, pale ilavous. Abdomen with the four basal .segments narrowly 

 pale flavous at the apex, and more or less broadly sp basally ; basal 

 segment slightly longer than the two following together, slender, 

 cylindrical and parallel-sided throughout. Legs pale fulvescent- 

 flavous : anterior tarsi subinfuscate ; hind legs with the femora 

 and the strongly punctate coxae pale red, the latter basally flavous 

 above and apically black, the former narrowly black at base and 

 apex ; their tibiae and tarsi pale flavous with the apex of the 

 former from near the centre, nearly the basal half of the metatarsi 

 and the apical half of the onychii, black. Wings hyaline, with the 

 nervures and stigma black ; areolet triangular and shortly petiolate ; 

 recurrent nervure continuous with the second submargiual. 



Length 9 millim.

c?. Black. Head smooth; inner orbits broadly flavous to 

 centre of ocelli, the face flavous and distinctly but not closely 

 punctate in the centre ; clypeus with a few scattered punctures. 

 Antennae flavescent, infuscate above, with a broad white band 

 beyond their centre. Thorax black ; propleurae flavous and stri- 

 gose beiow; the following markingH also flavous: a large hamate 

 mark on either side of the closely and somewhat strongly punctate 

 mesonotum in front, the c'allosities, a large mark with " the top 

 straight to the end above, obliquely sloped below, the base rounded ; 

 below it becomes gradually obliquely widened to near the apical 

 fourth, which is straight below " on the lower half of the less 

 strongly punctate and centrally glabrous rnesopleurse ; metanotum
