502 KHXEUMONIDjE. 



Didcrisla obliqua, TV Ik. Paiva took a female of this species, witta 

 Tarytia Jlavo-orbitaUs, ou board-ship, ten miles off Coconada ou 

 the Madras coast, on 14th April 1908. 



Genus TARYTIA, Cam. 



Tarytia, Cameron, Journ. Bombay Nut. Hist. Soc. 1907, p. 088. 

 GENOTYPE, T. basimacula, Cam. 



Clypeus distinctly discrete from the face and apically broadly 

 rounded ; mandibles with the teeth large, divergent and of equal 

 length ; cheeks distinct and not sulcate ; eyes nude, internally 

 parallel and not einarginate. Antennae exactly filiform and of 

 normal length. "Nbtauli sometimes present ; metathorax not at all 

 rugose, apically subproduced beyond base of hind coxae ; metanotum 

 irregularly and weakly areated centrally ; spiracles small and very 

 shortly oval. Abdomen distinctly petiolate, with the spiracles far 

 beyond centre of the basal segment, which is longer than the 

 second, with the postpetiole distinctly nodose; ovipositor distinctly 

 exserted, but not elongate, with filiform valvulae. Intermediate 

 tibiae bicalcarate ; hind calcaria nearly as long as the second tarsal 

 joint ; femora not dentate ; tarsi normal, not at all spatuliform, 

 with simple and not pectinate claws ; basal joint of hind onea 

 nearly as long as the following three united ; hind coxae stout,. 

 two and a half times as long as broad. Stigma not broad nor 

 radial cell short ; areolet entirely wanting ; second recurrent 

 nervure distinct and fenestrate above its centre, emitted at or 

 beyond the submarginal ; basal nervure continuous ; parallel 

 nervure intercepted shortly above its centre ; hind wings with the- 

 nervellus neither intercepted nor geniculate, and all the nervures 

 apically pellucid. 



Range. India. 



This genus does not bear the remotest relationship to Agrypon* 

 with which Cameron compares it ; I have not seen Szepligeti's 

 arrangement, to which he refers, but its whole facies is entirely 

 Cremastid. An examination of the whole of the type specimens 

 has enabled me to draw up the following table of species, though 

 it is possible that in some instances the two sexes have been 

 described as distinct species since, with a single exception, all the 

 species have been founded on single specimens. 



Table of Species. 



1 (8) Second recurrent nervure continuous 



with the submarginal. 



2 (5) Notauli entirely wanting ; scutellum 



dull and granulate. 



3 (4) Second segment twice as long as 



broad ; length 3 milliin empttsa, sp. n., p. 504. 



4 (3) Second segment thrice as long as 



broad length 7 milliin niyromacitlata, Cam., p. 503.
