alls hyaliiiis, nervis stigtuateiue aigris. J . 

 Long. 10 mm. 



Hah. Bengal, probably Barrackpore {Uotkney) . 



Antennre blackish, the scape yellow below ; the flagellura 

 below and at the apex above brownish; the last joint is 

 shortly but distinctly longer than the })receding. Head 

 brownish ; the eye-incision, the face, clypeus, and outer orbits 

 narrowly yellow ,• the vertex and front are thickly covered 

 with silvery pubescence ; tlie frontal keel is stout and extends 

 to the top of the clypeus, whicli is roundly incised in the 

 middle ; the sides are oblique. Mandibles yellow, like the 

 clypeus, with the teeth black. Thorax brownish ; a narrow 

 line on the pronotum, the base of the propleurte narrowly, a 

 conical mark below tlie tegulse in front, a smaller more oval 

 one below it behind the furrow, a large irregular mark on the 

 mesopleura^ on the lower side behind, a mark below the hind 

 ■wings, the base of the scutellum (more broadly laterally), the 

 postscutellum, and two marks on the metauotumj lemon- 

 yellow. Legs fuscous, the anterior lighter in tint; the tarsi 

 black ; the apex of the hinder tibite and of the hinder femora 

 yellowish. Wings hyaline; the radial cellule infuscated. 

 Abdomen brownish black : two spots on the node of the 

 petiole near the middle, two in the centre of the second 

 segment, and lines on the sides of the others, two large 

 marks on the second segment beneath, broad lines, narrowed 

 in the middle, on the base of the third to sixth, and the last 

 broadly, lemon-yellow. The petiole is long and slender and 

 not nodose at the apex, it becoming only gradually and slightly 

 wider towards the apex from the middle. 



This species is not, I am sure, the unknown male of 

 /. fuscipennis ] it appears to be too small; the markings 

 on the thorax and abdomen are smaller and of a distinct 

 lemon-yellow colour, not j^allid ; the head and abdomen are 

 darker, more distinctly black in colour.
