at t]ie apex. There is a short stump of a nerviire on the 

 ciiI)it;il-fli3Coi'lal nervure ; the transverse basal nervure is 

 interstitial ; the basal joints of the fia'^ellum are lontrer than 

 broad. Characteristic is the fact of the face and clypeus 

 being broadly and distinctly dilated in the middle and forniinj^ 

 one piece. 



Iliorada hilineata, sp. n. 



Testacea, capita pleurisque flavis, nigro-maculatis ; mesonoto nigro, 

 flavo biliueato ; pedibu8 testaceis, coxis trochanteribusque flavia ; 

 alls hyalinis, stigmate testaceo, J . 



Long. 12-13 mm. 



Uab. Khasia Hills. 



Scape of antennae pallid yellow ; the basal half of the 

 flagellum brownish, the apical black, serrate, closely pilose. 

 Head lemon- yellow, shining; tiie centre of the front, the 

 ocellar region, and the occiput broadly black. The face and 

 clypeus shining, sparsely punctured, almost bare ; the front 

 is somewhat more distinctly punctured. Mandibles lemon- 

 yellow, the teeth black. Thorax testaceous, the sides with a 

 more yellowish tint. Mesonotum black, with two lines down 

 the middle. Scutellum with a large black mark, triangularly 

 narrowed at the base in its centre, and an oblique mark on its 

 sides behind. The basal areje of the median segment, the 

 greater part of the posterior median area, a line on the outer 

 area touching the black on the central, a large mark (rounded 

 above) on the propleurse, one below the tubercles, a smaller 

 one on the top of the mesopleurae behind and below it, and 

 the basal half of the metapleurae, black. The pleurse and 

 sternum are thickly covered with short pale pubescence; the 

 obliquely sloped base of the latter is more shining, bare, and 

 has a crenulated furrow down the middle ; the pleurte are 

 closely punctured, the metapleurjemore distinctly than tlie rest.

 rufous, the tarsi blackish. The areolet is much narrowed at 

 the top, being there slightly less in width than the space 

 bounded by the recurrent and the second transverse cubital 

 nervures ; the latter is largely bullated. Abdomen testa- 

 ceous, darker coloured towards the apex, the sides paler ; the 

 middle of the petiole, the basal half of the second segment, 

 the other segments to a somewhat less extent, black, except 

 the apical, which is rufo-testaceous ; the black part of tlie 

 petiole and the basal half of the yellow j)art closely and 

 distinctly punctured ; the middle segments are closely punc-
