the base of tlie mandibles by a distance distinctly greater 

 than the basal breadth of tlie mandibles. Protiotuni produced 

 into a distinct acute spine on each side ; mesonotutn shining, 

 sparsely punctured, notauli deep aiid crenulate. Median 

 segment with an elongate and rather narrow median area, 

 wliich is bordered by a transverse carina a little before one- 

 tliird from the apex of the segment, the basal portion of the 

 area narrowed from the base and strongly contracted at about 

 one-third from the base, the apical portion (or areola) elongate- 

 ovate, truncate at the apex, petiolar area broader than long, 

 lateral carinas well marked ; spiracles small and rounded ; 

 sides of the segaient rugose, produced into a short spine on 

 each side at the apical angles. Abdomen opaque, the dorsal 

 surface very finely and closely punctured-granulate ; the first 

 segment petiolate at the base, about three times as long as its 

 apical breadth ; second and third tergites with an oblique 

 sulcus on each side from the base to the middle of the lateral 

 margin, and also with an indistinct curved depressed line on 

 each side from the middle of the base to the middle of the 

 lateral margin. Nervulus slightly p re f ureal ; second re- 

 current nervure strongly curved outwards and joining the 

 cubitus distinctly beyond the transverse cubital nervure ; 

 nervellus elbowed and intercepted close to the middle.

Closely allied to X. ahaddon, Morley, from Assam, but 

 differs in the colour, especially in the broad interruption of 

 the white of the outer orbits and the apically black median 

 segment, in the narrower first abdominal segment, and in the 

 much less strongly impressed second and third tergites.
