Hyl(£oides waterhousei, sp. n. 



? . — Length about 13| mm. 



A species with deep red markings, close to H. concinnula, 

 Ckll., but pale area on clypeus entirely red, covering the 

 whole of upper part of clypeus (but not extending beyond), 

 and ending below as a broad lobe of colour in middle of 

 clypeus, not reaching lower margin ; scutellum and post- 

 scutellum red except the narrow anterior border, which in 

 the case of the scutellum is notched in the middle by the 

 red ; first abdominal segment with at least the basal half 

 black ; tegula3 very dark rufo-pioeous. The broad red band 

 on the third abdominal segment is greatly narrowed in the 

 middle ; ventral white band very well developed ; prothorax 

 above entirely and broadly red, but tubercles black. 



Although this has a very strong superficial resemblance to 

 the common H. concinna (Fab.), it is very distinct struc- 

 turally by the very coarse deep punctures of the thorax 

 and tlae more finely and shallowly but still very well punc- 

 tured abdomen.
