Campoplex sumptuosus, Cameron, Mancli. Mem. 1897, p. 28 (?c?). 



Head black, closely and uniformly punctate, with dense and short 

 white pubescence, becoming darker and shorter on the vertex ; man- 

 dibles and palpi dark. Antennae black, with short black pubescence ; 

 scape with sparse white pilosity. Thorax immaculate and closely 

 punctate ; metanotutn centrally broadly but not deeply impressed, 

 with " the basal keel roundly curved " ; propleura? strongly and 

 obliquely striolate below ; mesopleurae elevated and trans-aciculate* 

 below the radices. Abdomen black, with the third, fourth, base of 

 fifth and apex of second segments, red. Leys with dense white 

 pubescence, the calcaria black. Wings clear hyaline ; areolet 

 oblique, and triangular above, emitting the recurrent nervure near 

 its apical third. 



Length 7 millim. 



CEYLON. 



Cameron does not indicate the sex or the colour of the legs, 

 but contents himself with adding that this " is similarly coloured 

 to the preceding two species (C. buddJia and C. species-its), but is 

 much smaller, and otherwise may be readily separated by the two 

 keels at the base of the median segment [metathorax] being 

 roundly curved,'' though only one is indicated in his description.

$ . A black species, with the abdomen and legs ferruginous, 

 and the scutellum white. Head with the facial orbits, clypeus 

 and mandibles flavescent white, and the last apically ferruginous. 

 Antenna; ferruginous throughout. Thorax dull and immaculate. 

 Scutellum white. Abdomen ferruginous and petiolate, with a black 

 spot on the petiolated segment near its apex, and the terebra 

 ferruginous. Legs concolorous, with the coxa? and trochanters 

 black, and the apices of the " posterior " tibia3 inf uscate. Wings 

 hyaline and iridescent, with the nervures and tegulae ferruginous ; 

 costa infuscate. 



Length 11 millim. 



KASHMIR : Sind Valley (Dr. Stoliczka). 



"Waterhouse's very rough figure, which looks like a c? , helps us 

 but little to determine the affinities of this species. It shows the 

 alar areolet to be sessile and subpentagonal, with the outer cubital 

 nervure emitted nearly from its centre and the inner nervure 

 curved ; the stigma is flavous, the nervellus is postfurcaJ. inter- 

 cepted distinctly a little above its centre, and the basal abscissa of 

 the radius in the hind wing is of about the same length as the 

 transverse nervure ; but the basal abdominal segment and pos- 

 terior tibia? are immaculate red, and the terebra is not represented 

 at all.
