344 Mr. G. C. Champion on the 



specimens of this insect have recently been sent by my son 

 from W. Almora, from elevations between 7000 and 9000 ft. 

 Two males have been dissected. Gorham's description of 

 7. viridescens Tvas based upon two examples (cJ?) from 

 "India." The yellow base of the last abdominal segment 

 mentioned by him doubtless refers to the pallid membranous 

 space visible between the ventral segments 5 and 6 in <J . 



20. Idffia andrewesi. 



Prionoce}-us (^Idgia) andrewesi, Bourg. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. li. p. 104 

 (1907). (d$.) 



^ . Eyes extremely large, almost contiguous (narrowly 

 separated in ? ) ; anterior tarsal joints 1-3 with a comb 

 along their inner edge, 4 narrow, small ; posterior tro- 

 chanters acuminate at tip (obtuse in ? ). Genital armature 

 (PI. XI. fig. 17) : median lobe rather broad, as seen from 

 above, narrower than the lateral lobes, sinuate, acuminate 

 at tip, the latter subtruncate ; lateral lobes moderately 

 broad, the concave apical portion, as seen from beneath, 

 separated from the rest by an oblique fold. 



Hab. S. India {Mus. Brit.), Nilgiri Hills [H. L. Andrewes, 

 Sir G. F. Hampsou), Anamalai Hills {H. L. Andrewes). 



An elongate, nigro-cyaneous insect, with a long, flavo- 

 testaceous prothorax, the basal joints of the antennae, and 

 also the apical one, the palpi, and sometimes the scutellum 

 in part, flavescent ; the antennae long and slender, with 

 joint 11 sinuate, considerably elongated in $ ; the apical 

 joint of the maxillary palpi long ; the head somewhat pro- 

 duced in front ; the labrum narrow, somewhat oval, about as 

 long as broad in some specimens, shorter in others. There 

 are two males and six females of this species in Mr.Andrewes's 

 collection, and a pair in the British Museum. Bourgeois 

 overlooked the tarsal and trochanter characters, which are 

 conspicuous in the labelled type, (^ . The length varies from 

 11-13 mm. 



21. Idgia chloroptera. 



Idgia chloroptera, Eedt. Reise der Novara, ii. p. Ill (1868). 



^ . Eyes large, subcontiguous (a little more distant in ? ) ; 

 anterior tarsal joints 1-3 with a comb along their inner edge. 

 Genital armature (PI. XL fig. 18) : lateral lobes long, broad; 

 median lobe curved and acuminate at tip.
