central furrow at tb.e apex are some broad furrows. The 

 sternal process is widely divergent ; the lobes longish^ nar- 

 rowed and widely hollowed in the middle. The coxse, 

 trochanters, the fore femora, and the tibiae behind are green; 

 the apex of the fore femora and the tibiae are rufous in 

 front ; the tibial and tarsal spines are rufous ; the tarsal 

 joints become gradually wider towards the apex, the pad 

 reaches to the middle of the joint ; the inner tooth of the 

 claw is shorter and thicker than the outer. Wings smoky 

 fuscous, clearer towards the apex ; the nervures and stigma 

 fuscous, testaceous towards the apex ; there are only two 

 transverse cubital nervures ; the apical nervure on the radial 

 cellule is broadly rounded and is united to the second trans- 

 verse cubital; the appendicular cellule is open at the apex; 

 the first recurrent nervure is received in the middle, the 

 second in front of the middle of the cellule. Abdomen 

 blue at the base, dark green in the centre, darker towards the 

 apex ; the second segment is wider at the base than at the 

 apex, its length is not quite double the width at the apex. 



A distinct species. Characteristic is the row of squarish 

 arose bordering the apex of the median segment and the 

 interstitial second transverse cubital nervure.

This species appears to be the Qommonest form in 

 Assam. The females vary from 15-25 mm. in length; the 

 males also vary greatly in length, some being as small as 

 11 mm. The males are densely pilose like the females, and 

 have the labrum and the greater part of the mandibles 

 testaceous. Most of the males have the median segment 

 and the abdomen for the greater part purple. The basal 

 two segments are punctured all over, but not very closely; 

 the apical segments are more closely rugosely punctured. 

 The head is rather strongly punctured and, as usual, is 

 obliquely narrowed behind the eyes. 



The wings in both sexes vary in tint, ranging from light 

 to dark smoky; the nervures may be black or luscous ; and 

 the first transverse cubital nervure may be complete, indicated 

 at the top and bottom only, or completely obliterated. A 

 few examples show distinct brassy tints on the head and 

 thorax. In the larger males there is a more or less well- 

 defined longitudinal furrow in the middle of the head. The 

 pleurae and breast in the males are thickly covered with
