ITymenoptera from the Khasi'a Hills. 177 



Face strongly and closely, the clypeus still more strongly, 

 punctured ; the front and vertex strongly punctured, 

 except between the eyes and the hinder ocelli ; the front 

 in the middle obscurely transversely striated. Mesonotum 

 closely punctured, the parapsidal furrows indicated at the 

 base ; the scutellum as closely but not so strongly punc- 

 tured ; the postscutellum closely punctured at the base. 

 Metanotum closely and distinctly punctured ; the posterior 

 median area more or less transversely striated ; the lateral 

 arese obliquely striated, the basal one finely and closely, the 

 apical more strongly and with the striae distinct and clearly 

 separated ; the spiracular area is closely and weakly striated 

 behind the spiracles, its middle closely and strongly obliquely, 

 its apex more strongly and irregularly. Pleuroe closely and 

 strongly punctured, the joropleurae more strongly than the rest 

 and striated in the middle at the apex. The four front tibiae 

 and femora may be more or less obscure yellow in front. 

 The base of the petiole is smooth above and has its sides 

 keeled ; the middle is stoutly atid irregularly and the apex 

 more closely and finely striated. The second segment has the 

 basal half stoutly and closely longitudinally striated ; the 

 gastrocoeli are stoutly striated in the centre. The tarsal 

 spines are blackish. The areola is small, broader than long, 

 separated from the basal slope by a narrow keel ; it is 

 shining and is irregularly striated, the stride being more or 

 less broken and irregular ; it becomes gradually and slightly 

 wider from the base to the apex ; the basal slope is closely 

 and finely transversely striated. 



This species comes nearest to C. rvfofemorata, Cam.; but 

 that species may be known from it by the hinder femora 

 being entirely red, by the areola being not separated behind 

 by a keel, and by its being closely reticulated or irregularly 

 punctui-ed throughout, and by the lateral arese being closely 

 punctured and reticulated, not distinctly striated throughout 

 as in the present species. C. nigroccerulea and C. ccuruko- 

 caud'is may be known from it by the much larger areola. 

 The median segment is more strongly striated than it is in 

 the other species. In some examples there are two white 

 marks on the apex of the scutellum. The wings may be 

 hyaline or distinctly fuscous throughout..
