Limneiium forticarinatum, Cameron, Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist 

 Soc. 1906, p. 280 (rf). 



c? . A black species, with the legs fulvous. Head : clypeus with 

 dense short grey pubescence, somewhat elongate and not very 

 broad, apically broadly rounded and basally indistinctly discrete ; 

 cheeks as long as the basal breadth of the pale flavous and apically 

 ferruginous mandibles ; palpi pale testaceous ; face hardly promi- 

 nent, dull and obsoletely punctate, with short and dense grey 

 pubescence ; f rons and vertex very closely and finely punctate. 

 Antennce black and extending to apex of thorax, with the scape 

 sometimes ferruginous beneath. TJiorax dull and immaculate, 

 closely punctate and shortly pubescent, with the notauli obsolete ; 

 metanotum basally closely punctate ; basal lateral areas indefinite ; 

 basal area entirely wanting, cariniform ; areola short cordiforrn 

 and subcoalescent with the excavate, closely trans-striate and 

 entire petiolar area ; spiracles quite circular. Scutellum black. 

 Abdomen immaculate and subnitidulous, becoming pilose apically; 

 basal segment uitidulous, smooth, with very obsolete punctation, 

 postpetiole distinct ; valvulse large and exserted. Leys fulvous, 

 with the anterior pairs a little paler ; all the coxse (except some- 

 times apices of anterior) and the basal joint of the hind trochanters 

 black ; hind tarsi dark with only the base paler. Wings hyaline, 

 with the radix and tegulse stramineous, stigma and nervures dark ; 

 areolet distinctly petiolate nnd somewhat small, subquadrate, 

 emitting the straight recurrent nervure from distinctly a little 

 beyond its centre ; basal nervure continuous. 



Length 6-7 millim. 



BALUCHISTAN : Quetta, viii. 03 and iii. 04 (Col. Nurse). 



Type in Col. Nurse's collection. 



Besides the shape of the metanotal spiracles, this species is said 

 to differ from L. quettaense in the petiole of the areolet being 

 thickened and fully as long as the internfil submarginal nervure, 

 the anterior coxae at least basally black, and the metanotal peiiolar 

 area more closely and regularly trans-striate. From L. parvi- 

 carinatum it differs in having the metanotum distinctly areated 

 and the basal nervure continuous. 



I have seen only two males.
