 each of the latter), the basal two thirds of the pronotura and 

 iJie central apical furrow, throe broad lines on mesonotum 

 and a similar one across the base, the S|) ice bordering the 

 sides of scutellums, a large triangular mark covering the 

 basal area of metanotum, a broad line covering the central 

 apical furrow, and tiie space between the meso- and meta])leuvse, 

 black ; the flagellum of antennae and the space separating the 

 abdominal segments rufo-fulvous. Legs yellow, the femora 

 tinged with fulvous. Wings hyaline, the apex narrowly 

 smoky, the costa and stigma fulvous, the apical nervures 

 black. (?.

Quetta; June (Nwse). 



Metanotal area closely but not very strongly transversely 

 striated. Head, thorax, and, to a less extent, the abdomen 

 covered with white pubescence, closely strongly punctured, 

 tiie metathorax more closely than the rest. Olypeus fringed 

 with pale golden hair, its apex bluntly rounded. Eyes 

 slightly converging above. Hinder ocelli separated from each 

 other by a little greater distance than they are from the eyes. 

 Apical half of penultimate joint of antennae abruptly narrowed, 

 the last bluntly rounded at the apex. First abdominal seg- 

 ment slightly narrowed at the base, longer than it is wide at 

 tlie apex. Pygidium strongly punctured throughout, of equal 

 width, the apex bluntly rounded, keeled ; the apex of 

 epipygium bluntly rounded.

 towards the apex on the outer edge of pronotum, tegulse, 

 tubercles, postscutellum, basal half of second abdominal 

 segment, the third entirely, the fourth narrowly in the centre, 

 widely at the sides, the fifth (except for a curved black band 

 on the base), the sixth entirely, and the greater part of the
