antenna, which are shorter thau the hody (length 10 millim.). 

 Tliorax short, stout, dull, and punctate ; testaceous, with four 

 anteriorly coalescent stripes on the inesouotum, most of prothorax, 



mesopleurse apically and 

 below and broadly at the 

 base, and the inetathorax 

 (except on either side of its 

 base above), bright flavous ; 

 metanotum very short aud 

 irregularly punctate, with no 

 trace of transverse carinae, 

 but its apex irregularly 

 trans-aciculate and with a 

 short central longitudinal 

 carina ; pleurae closely punc- 

 tate, with no stria?, ticutel- 

 htm flavous, nitidulous, 

 deeply and isolatedly punc- 

 tate, with its sides cariuate 

 to apex. Abdomen hardly 

 double the length of the 

 head and thorax, uuicolorous testaceous, not very slender, with 

 the basal segment apically subincrassate. Leys distinctly short 

 and somewhat stout, with the outer intermediate calcar subobsolete. 

 Wings hyaline and not ample, with the apex of the front ones 

 unusually acute ; tegula3 and the narrow stigma testaceous ; costa of 

 both wings and the metacarpus blackish ; radius straight and very 

 little thickened basally, with a single triangular flavescent corneous 

 mark below its extreme base ; submarginal and second recurrent 

 nervures of equal length ; basal nervure subcoutiuuous through 

 the median. 



Length 13 millim.

This species agrees with Szepligeti's description of //. vai-ieyatus 

 (Ann. Mus. Hungr. 1905, p. 519) from Turkestan, except in the 

 conformation of the head, which, though not broad, cannot be 

 said to be obliquely constricted posteriorly ; and he would 

 certainly have called attention to the peculiarly squat thorax, 

 which is quite distinct from that of any species of this genus with 

 which I am acquainted. The subobsolete external intermediate 

 calcaria, with the short rugose nietathorax, show traces of affinity 

 with Nototracliys.
