little-known Species of TXxynmAds. 141 



carina with the prominence between the antennae} the 

 labruni scarcely visible. The antennae inserted a little 

 farther from each other than from the eyes, the prominence 

 between them broadly V-shaped and divided by a longitudinal 

 sulcus. Head closely and rather shallowly punctured, 

 covered with rather long greyish pubescence. Thorax closely 

 punctured, the pronotum narrowed anteriorly, the anterior 

 margin very slightly raised, straight and narrower than the 

 head. The disc of the mesonotum is bordered on the sides 

 by a raised curved carina above t!ie tegulse, and the longi- 

 tudinal sulci usually present in the family are aljsent. Tlie 

 scutellutn is large, broadly rounded at the apex. Median 

 segment obliquely truncate from a little behind the post- 

 scutellum, rounded at the sides, closely and shallowly 

 punctured and with rather long grey pubescence. Abdomen 

 elongate, the segments slightly depressed at the base, shining 

 and rather sparsely punctured ; the transverse groove between 

 the first and second ventral segments is shallow. Epipygiutn 

 very coarsely punctured, without a produced dorsal phite, 

 semicircularly depressed at the apex. Hypopygium short, 

 produced into a stout spine projecting a little beyond the 

 epipygium. 



Black; the mandibles (except at the apex), the clypeus, 

 the prominence between the antennse, the margins of the 

 ej-es interrupted at the summit, continued in a narrow band 

 on the posterior margin of the head bisinuate in the middle, 

 the pronotum (except a small black spot on the middle of 

 the anterior marsin and a large transverse mark on each 

 side), the mesopleuiEe in front, a curved mark on the meso- 

 notum above the tegulffi, two oblique marks uniting posteriorly 

 on the disc of the mesonotum, the scutellum with the base 

 rather broadly black and a narrow transverse black maik on 

 each side near the apex, the postscutellum, a large mark 

 trilobed posteriorly at the apex of the median segment and 

 produced laterally on to the sides of the segment, the coxoe 

 and femora beneath, the tegulse, and a broad band near the 

 apex of each abdominal segment except the seventh pale 

 yellow ; the bands are continued beneath on ventral seg- 

 ments 2-5. Femora and tar^i dull ferruginous, the femora 

 very pale yellow above. Wings hyaline, tinged with yellow 

 at the base, nervures and stigma ferruginous. 



Length 19 mm. 



Ilab. (3(\Q\ilnnt^,^.^.W. {Froggatt). 



Type in coll. Froggatt. 



iNear T. frenchi, Turn., but the scutellum is shorter and 

 differently shaped in addition to the considerable differences
