tlic scutellum, one boliind the middle of the sciitcllmn, its 

 sides at the apex, the lateral basal areje on the median se<^- 

 ment, a mark on the base of the snpramedian area, the 

 greater part of the upper three fourths of the posterior median 

 area, and a mark on the upper ]iart of the motaplcura^, black. 

 Llesonotum closely granular. The scutcllum is much more 

 strongly and not so closely punctured, especially in the centre, 

 the sides and the apex being smooth. Post.scutellum smooth. 

 The base of the median segment is smooth, the basal area is 

 slightly depressed in the middle, the supramedian is longer 

 than broad, 6-angled, the apex roundly curved inwardly. 

 Pro- and nu'sopleuvai smooth, except behind ; the metapleurre 

 are closely and distinctly longitudinally striated. Meso- 

 sternum obscurely transversely striated. Coxa3, trochanters, 

 and the lower side of the femora pale yellow; the tibiaj 

 testaceous, the hinder darker than the anterior ; the tarsi are 

 of a darker testaceous colour ; the tibial spines are dark 

 rufous, the tarsal of a paler colour. The cubitus is widely 

 bullated before the apex, its nervure is large, as is also tliat 

 on the recurrent nervure, which is received beyond the middle. 

 Abdomen rufo-testaceous, the sides and apex of the petiole 

 and the a])ical segments paler, the second to fourth segments 

 broadly blackish at the base. 



HlORADA, gen. nov. 



(J, Face and clypeus broadly and roundly dilated in the 

 mitldle, a broad furrow on either side of the dilated part ; the 

 clypeus not separated from the face; the face at the top tri- 

 angularly depressed in the middle. Mandibles with one large 

 apical and a short subapical tooth. Apex of clypeus broadly 

 rounded, Labrum hidden. Occiput margined. Seutelluni 

 roundly convex, its sides stoutly keeled, the sides of the 

 post.scutellum broadly depressed at the base. Median segment 

 completely areolated, its spiracles linear. Areolet /^-angled, 

 narrowed at the tip ; the cubital, the .second transverse cubital, 

 and the recurrent nervure in two places largely bullated. 

 Legs stout, the tarsi spino.se. Abdomen with seven segments ; 

 the petiole becomes gradually dilated from the middle to the 

 apex ; the postpetiole is not percejitibly bent and bears the 

 spiracles near the base ; the ventral keel is on segments 2, 3, 

 and 4 ; the sides of the segments project distinctly at the 

 apex ; the last segment is large and is brought gradually to 

 a jjoint ; the epipygium is larger than the last segment, is 

 flat, and bears a transverse furrow in the middle. 



Belongs to the Oxypygi. The distinctive characters are 

 the dilated face and clypeus, the unequally toothed mandibles, 

 the keeled scutcllum, and the petiole only very slightly curved
