obscure ; the sides of the segments with long, sparse, grey 

 pubescence slightly tinged with fulvous. The first recurrent 

 nervure is slightly curved outwardly close to the top, the 

 second is oblique and is received beyond two-thirds from the 

 base of the second cubital cell. 



Black ; the extreme apex of the pygidium and the spines 

 of the tibiae and tarsi obscurely ferruginous. Wings fnsco- 

 hyaline, tinted with yellow ; nervures black. 



Length 20 mm., exp. 29 mm.

Nearest to T. Julvinerva, Cain., from Northern India, 

 from which it differs in the puncturation of the head and 

 abdomen, in the colour of the wings and nervures, and the 

 absence of long fulvous hairs on the head and thorax. It is 

 also allied to T. fumtpennis, Sm., under which name it is 

 i carded by Colonel Bingham, Fascic. Malay., Zool. i. App., 

 but differs markedly in the sculpture of the pygidium and 

 the greater breadth of the head.

Bingham's description of T. Jlavipennis is taken from a 

 specimen from Borneo which differs from continental speci- 

 mens in the much longer median segment and the shape of 

 the anterior margin of the clypeus. Cameron describes 

 T. clypealis as a female, but the type in Rothney's collection 

 is a male to which the description corresponds. Tiphia 

 lyrata, Magr. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, (2 a ) xii. p. 252, 

 1892, ? , may prove to be a form of this species, but, as 

 Magretti regards it distinct from specimens identified by him 

 as T. Jlavipennis which doubtless belong to the present 

 species, I prefer not to treat the two forms as identical.

This is a wide-ranging species and will probably be found
