596. Tarytia empusa. sp. n. 



~ cJ . A very small, testaceous species, with the head (except 

 ocelli), legs, second abdominal segment, tegulae, and apex of 

 scutellum, flavous ; ocelli, antennae, disc of metanotum, and of 

 iirst and fourth segments, infuscate ; basal metanotal area as long 

 as the areola. 



Length 3| millim. 



BENGAL : Pusa, ix. 06. 



Type in the Pusa collection. 



This species is too closely allied to T. niyromaculata to need a 

 detailed description ; besides its coloration and much smaller size, 

 it differs therefrom in the metanotum being much more nitidulous, 

 with all the areolar caring stouter and more clearly denned; the 

 basal area is strongly elongate, the head less emarginate posteriorly, 

 the postpetiole gradually dilated from its centre and not abruptly 

 from its apical third, and the second segment is not more than 

 twice as long as broad. 



397. Tarytia cariniscutis, Cam. 



Tari/tia cariniscutis, Cameron,* Jouru. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 

 1907, p. 590 (rf). 



<5 . A clear pale testaceous species. Head (mutilated) with the 

 face and clypeus closely punctate. Antenna 1 infuscate, paler 

 below, with the scape flavous. Thorax closely, but not strongly, 

 punctate ; metanotum with very distinct notauli ; petiolar area 

 distinct and triangular, with the lateral carinae broad and basal ly 

 coalescent; areola feebly and sparsely striate, broad, roundly 

 constricted basally and subconstricted towards the apex, extending 

 to shortly beyond the centre ; propleura? glabrous. Scutellum 

 closely punctate and laterally carinate to near its centre, strongest 

 at base. Abdomen with the basal half of the second and third 

 segments discally, and the latter laterally, black ; anus black ; 

 second segment discally finely and closely, base of third more 

 obsolerely, aciculate; valvuke broad, elongate and strongly exserted. 

 Legs immaculate. Wings clear hyaline, with the stigma and 

 nervures pale testaceous. 



Length 8 millim. 



BOMBAY : Deesa, vii. 98 (Col. Nurse). 



Type in Col. Nurse's collection. 

 This s 



This species is said to be recognised by the scutellum being 

 carinate beyond its base, and by the large and distinctly defined 

 petiolar area ; from the remaining four species it differs in its 

 elongate notauli, which extend strongly to the pin run through 

 the disc, in its shining and not very closely punctate scutellum 

 and in the second recurrent nervure being continuous with the 

 submarginal.
