oblique slope ; from the middle of the areola a ti'xinsverse 

 keel runs to join a longitudinal one placed inside the spiracles. 

 There is a short shallow furrow on the sides of the meso- 

 sternum at the base; the sternal furrow is wide at the 

 apex. Petiole smooth and shining ; the red base of the 

 second abdominal segment is closely, distinctly, and longi- 

 tudinally striated; the black part is strongly aciculated.

 Anipulex montana, sp. n. 



Length 16 mm. ? . 



Hab. Khasia Hills. Coll. Rothney. 



This species agrees closely with A. trigona, Cam., in size 

 and coloration, and in having the head obHquely narrowed 

 behind the eyes, but may be known from it as follows : — 



The upper third of the mesopleurse coarsely deeply punc- 

 tured ; the sides of the mediau segment closely, distinctly, 

 transversely striated ; the vertex not distinctly furrowed 

 in the middle behind montana. 



The upper third of the mesopleurae not distinctly pimc- 

 tured ; the sides of the median segment not closely, 

 regularly, transversely striated ; the vertex distinctly and 

 deeply furrowed in the middle behind trujona^ Cam. 



Antennae entirely black ; the third joint nearly as long as 

 the following two united. Head green with bluish tints ; 

 the sides and apex of the clypeus and its central keel black. 

 There is an oblique irregular row of punctures on the sides 

 of the vertex ; the antennal tubercles are large, and their 

 keels extend halfway up the front ; between them is an 

 elongated tubercle. Tlie clypeus has a row of punctures 

 near the apex ; its middle at the apex is bluntly rounded, 

 with a shallow rounded incision on either side. The head 

 is distinctly obliquely narrowed behind the eyes. Pronotum 

 large ; the apical part somewhat longer than the width at 

 the base ; smooth, the base depressed in the middle and with 

 a distinct longitudinal furrow on the basal half. Mesonotuni 

 smooth in the middle ; the sides with some large scattered 

 punctures. Behind the scutellum is a row of stout longi- 

 tudinal keels, which are weaker in the middle than on the 

 sides. Median segment completely transversely striated ; the 

 striae on the outer edge stouter than on the rest of the 

 segment ; the apex is smooth ; the three central keels reach 

 to this smooth part ; the apical slope is transversely striated 

 in the centre ; the sides and top are irregularly striated- 

 reticulated. The upper part of the mcsopleune from abo\e
