basal half of the metatarsus black; the hind tarsi whit'^. 

 Wings hyaline, the stigma testaceous, the nervures blackish. 

 Flagellum of antenna? broadly ringed with white. ? . 



Length 11 mm. 



Sikkiin. 



Face distinctly but not closely punctured, the clypous with 

 a few scattered ])unctures above; front below the ocelli finely 

 closely stiiated. Mesonotum closely, regularly, somewhat 

 strongly punctured ; the scutellum with a few large punctures 

 in the centre. Posterior median area furrowed round the 

 edges except at the apex ; it is smooth, as are also the parts 

 at its base; the rest of the segment closely strongly punc- 

 tured except the posterior median area, which is strongly 

 irregularly striated. Meso- and mctaplcuras closely strongly 

 punctured; the propleurai smooth, striated at the apex. 

 Abdomen closely punctured, the centre of pootscutellum finely

Scutellum rather flat, distinctly keeled laterally to the 

 commencement of the apical slope. Areola represented by a 

 small, smooth, flat, curved tubercle, widely distant from the 

 base of the metanotum. Posterior median area with the apical 

 half narrower than tlie basal ; the apical lateral area com- 

 mences at the end of the basal part, it is narrow, sharply 

 pointed at the top, becoming gradually widened towards the 

 apex ; the basal lateral area3 are large, square, confluent, 

 there being no petiolar area; the apical large, wide at the 

 base, gradually narrowed towards the apex ; the spiracular 

 area distinct. Clypeus not separated, its apex transverse. 

 Labrum projecting. Occiput deeply incised, margined. 

 Areolet large, 5-angIed ; transverse median nervure received 

 distinctly beyond the transverse basal. Petiole long, narrow, 

 the postpetiole gradually widened. Mandibles unequally 

 dentate. 



Body uniformly rufo-testaceous; the wings hyaline. Disco- 

 cubital nervure broken by a stump, as is also the recurrent 

 nervure. The second and following segments of the abdomen 

 closely punctured, the first smooth and shining. 



The form of the metanotum and its areola is as in Dimcetha, 

 which genus may be known from the present by the scutel- 

 lum not being flat and not keeled, by the areolet being 

 narrowed in front, l-angled, by the discocubital and recurrent 

 nervures being unbroken, by the wings being clouded at the 

 apex, and by the postpetiole being strongly punctured.
