 PTERA (ICHNEUMONID^, CHRYSIDID^, FOSSORES, 



AND APID^). 



By p. Cameron. 



(Continued from p. 183.) 



CHRYSIDIDiE. 



Chrysis (Tetrachrysis) lepcha, sp. nov. 



Viridis, supra late caeruleo ; antennis tarsisque nigris ; alls fusco- 

 violaceis. Loug. 14 mm. 2 . 



Hah. Khasia (coll. Eothney). 



Antennse black ; the basal three joints bluish above ; the base of 

 the scape broadly green ; the flagellum, except at the base, covered 

 with a pale down. Head green, tinged with blue ; the front brassy in 

 the middle ; the ocellar region purple ; the apex of the clypeus and 

 the mandibles, except at the base, black. The vertex coarsely and 

 deeply punctured, the punctures larger and deeper at the sides near 

 the eyes ; the front closely punctured in the middle ; the sides much 

 more strongly punctured ; the eyes are bordered by a distinctly defined 

 row of punctures ; in the centre of the front above is a shallow de- 

 pression ; the orbits behind are bordered by a sharp distinct keel. 

 Thorax above dark green ; the base and a transverse band on the pro- 

 notum, and the centre of the meso- and metanotum, broadly purple ; 

 the pronotum coarsely and closely rugosely punctured, except a smooth 

 impunctate space in the centre at the base, this space being broadest 

 behind ; the mesonotum and the scutellum have the punctures larger 

 and deeper, especially in the middle ; the middle of the metanotum is 

 punctured like the scutellum, its sides near the wings depressed ; the 

 projecting lateral angles are coarsely punctured at the base ; the outer 

 sides at the apex have two slight depressions. The upper part of the 

 propleurfe coarsely punctured ; the middle is depressed, and bears a 

 few irregular striae ; below this depression is a deeper narrower longi- 

 tudinal one ; mesopleur® deeply and largely punctured, the punctures 

 running into reticulations. Mesosternum brassy, closely punctured 

 behind ; the sides and middle with stronger punctures. The meta- 

 pleurse are irregularly longitudinally striated, the strias being stronger 

 and more widely separated at the base. Legs green, largely mixed 

 with blue ; the tarsi black. Wings fuscous, paler towards the apex ; 

 the nervures deep black. The basal segment of the abdomen is bluish 

 green ; the sides with a distinct brassy tinge ; the base and sides are 

 strongly punctured ; the centre has the punctures more widely sepa- 

 rated and smaller ; between the larger punctures are smaller ones. 

 The second segment is closely punctured, the punctuatioi^ on the sides 

 being closer and stronger than on the middle, and they have a brassy 

 tint ; the third segment is finely and sparsely punctured at the base, 

 the rest of it much more strongly and closely punctured ; the apical 

 depression is wide and deep ; the fovefe are also deep ; the four teeth 

 are large ; the outer broader than the inner, and somewhat triangular.
