of Habropocla can hardly be looked upon as typical of the 

 genus. Possibly my male represents a distinct species. It 

 certainly appears to be too slender for the female, comparing 

 it with the males of other species of the genus and their 

 females. 



Coelioxys cariniscutis, sp. n. 



This species is very similar to C. khasiana, with which it 

 agrees in size, form, and coloration, including the fulvous 

 pubescence on the underside of the tarsi, but it differs in the 

 clypeus being keeled down the centre, in the sides of the 

 scutellum being deeply furrowed, with the outer edge raised ; 

 the lateral teeth are stouter, depressed in the centre, become 

 narrowed gradually to the apex, which is rounded and not 

 depressed ; the pronotum at the base projects into a large 

 plate, which becomes gradually narrowed outwardly, forming 

 a triangle of which the upper side is longer than the lower. 

 There are eight teeth on the apical segment, two basal and 

 six apical ; the upper central pair are the shorter ; the space 

 behind them is depressed, the base of the depression with an 

 oblique slope and shallower than it is at the apex ; the apical 

 lower pair of teeth are much longer and stouter than the 

 others ; the apices of the third, fourth, and fifth segments 

 are less closely punctured than the rest; there is an oblique 

 furrow on the sides of the second near the base and an 

 oblique depression on the sides of the fifth near the base ; 

 the ocellar region has some smooth spaces at the sides and 

 behind the ocelli ; the lateral teeth of the scutellum are not 

 bent downwards as in khasiana and basalis; the wings are 

 fuscous violaceous to the transverse basal nervure. $ .

Ccelioxi/s khasiana, sp. n. 



Black ; clypeus, face, lower part of the vertex broadly on 

 the sides, pleurae, metanotum, and the apices of the abdo- 

 minal segments narrowly covered with white pubescence, the 

 rest of the head and thorax with short white pubescence ; 

 wings bright dark fuscous violaceous, highly iridescent, the 

 nervures and stigma black. ? .

Vertex covered with large, deep, round punctures, which 

 are much more widely separated at the sides of the ocelli ; 

 the raised central part of the front more coarsely punctured,
