238 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



than the head and thorax united ; with eight dorsal segments ; on the 

 back they are rather fiat; gastrocoeli small, the space between not 

 striated. Ventral fold on the third and fourth segments. Tarsi 

 covered thickly with pubescence and more sparsely spined. The 

 antennas are stout, compressed beyond the middle and broadly ringed 

 with white. Apex of clypeus transverse ; it is not separated from the 

 face. Labrum hidden. Hypopygium large, cultriform, but not cover- 

 ing the terebra. Apical two segments spotted with yellow. 



May be known from Amhlyteles, to which it is most closely 

 related, by the longer median segment, with its longer areola, 

 and by the distinctly roundly convex scutellum. 



Haliphera maculipes, sp. nov. 

 Black ; the sides of the clypeus, the face, except in the centre, the 

 inner orbits — broader above than below — the lower half of the outer, 

 the palpi, a broad band, obliquely curved below, on the edge of the 

 pronotum, the lower part of the propleurte behind, a mark on the 

 middle of the mesonotum, the scutellums, the middle of the median 

 segment — the mark narrowed above, rounded below — the tubercles, a 

 large mark on the middle of the mesopleur^ — narrowed gradually and 

 rounded behind — a large oval mark on the metapleurse, the post- 

 petiole, a mark on the sides of the second and third segments, a small 

 mark on the top of the penultimate, and the whole of the last segment, 

 bright lemon-yellow. Legs yellow ; the four front femora above, the 

 base of the lower part of the hind coxffi, the trochanters, the basal and 

 apical third of the hinder femora, and the apex of the tibiaa, black. 

 Wings hyaline ; the stigma brown ; the nervures darker. Scape of 

 antennae yellow in the middle below ; the middle of the flagellum with 

 a broad white band. ? . Length 13 mm. 



Hah. Darjeeling. 



Face closely, the clypeus much more sparsely, punctured, and 

 thickly covered with short Avhite pubescence. The upper part of the 

 front in the centre transversely, irregularly striated ; the lower part 

 of the ocellar region obliquely, the vertex behind the ocelli closely 

 striated. Mesonotum closely rugosely punctured, the scutellum 

 smooth. Median segment closely rugosely punctured at the base; the 

 sides from near the apex of the spiracles transversely reticulated ; the 

 sides of the apical slope widely and irregularly reticulated ; the spira- 

 cular area below the spiracles stoutly obliquely striated ; the teeth 

 stout, bluntly rounded. Pleurae closely punctured. Abdominal petiole 

 to near the apex aciculated and sparsely punctured ; the post-petiole 

 almost smooth in the centre, the sides distinctly, but not closely 

 punctured ; the basal half of the second segment finely and closely 

 striated. Gastrocoeli deep, smooth. 



Harsaces, gen. nov. 

 Scutellum flat, its sides at the base keeled to the middle. Areola 

 twice longer than broad, its basal half narrowed, the keels there 

 curving roundly inwardly and not quite reaching to the base. Post- 

 petiole longer than the narrowed basal part, three times its width, the 

 central part clearly separated. Metathoracic spiracles three times
