by a distinctly greater distance than they are from the eyes. Palpi 

 black. Scape and pedicle of antennas as long as the fourth joint, 

 which is about one-fourth shorter than the third. Prothorax finely, 

 closely punctured, the lower half of the propleuraB irregularly striated, 

 the striae almost forming reticulation. Middle lobe of mesonotum 

 irregularly, somewhat strongly punctured, the punctures clearly sepa- 

 rated and more numerous on the sides than on the centre ; the lateral 

 lobes very minutely punctured, the base on the outer side with two 

 outer and four inner foveas, the apical half along the sides furrowed. 

 Scutellum, except in the centre, more strongly and closely punctured 

 than the mesonotum. Upper basal half of mesopleurae smooth ; the 

 rest with round clearly separated punctures ; the apex with a row of 

 oblique stout strias. Metathorax closely reticulated. Hind tibiae and 

 tarsi finely spinose ; the long spur of hind tibiae about one-fourth of 

 the length 6i metatarsus. Metasternal forks strongly diverging, 

 longish, stout. Apex of claws cleft ; the lower branch thicker than 

 upper. 3" . Length, 7 mm. 



Kuching, Borneo (John Hewitt). 



The coxae and trochanters are covered vfith a silvery pile. The 

 recurrent nervure is received beyond the transverse cubital. Abdo- 

 minal petiole smooth and shining, . the sides pubescent ; the rest of 

 the abdomen very smooth, bare, and shining. 



Evania Heivittii, sp. nov. 

 Black ; the antennal scape and the basal joints of the fiagellum 

 below and the fore tibise testaceous, the wings hyaline, the nervures 

 black, the face and malar space somewhat strongly, closely striated, 

 metasternal fork stout, straight, obliquely diverging ; hinder tibiae 

 not spined ; the long spur of the hinder tibiae about one-fourth of the 

 length of the metatarsus. Abdominal petiole in the middle closely 

 but not strongly striated. <? . Length, 3-5 mm. 



Quop, October (John Hewitt). 



Apex of mandibles rufo-testaceous, the palpi testaceous, third 

 antennal joint as long as the scape and as long as the fourth. 

 Temples smooth and shining. Malar space about two-thirds of the 

 length of the eyes. Mesonotum sparsely, the scutellum more closely 

 and strongly punctured. Metanotum at the base with round, mode- 

 rately deep punctures, and moderately close together ; the rest of the 

 metathorax closely reticulated, except for a smooth triangular space 

 below the wings. Mesopleurae smooth and shining above, the lower 

 part slightly dilated and sparsely punctured. Abdominal petiole 

 two-thirds of the length of the rest of the abdomen. Eadial cellule 

 wide, the apical and basal absciss® of the radius curved ; the trans- 

 verse basal and the recurrent nervures interstitial. The sides of the 

 front are striated, its centre and the vertex smooth. Hinder ocelli 

 separated from each other by a distinctly greater distance than they 

 are from the eyes. Parapsidal furrows deep, curved. Head and 

 thorax sparsely covered with short white pubescence, as are also the 

 legs. Hinder coxae smooth, depressed and shining at the base, the 

 rest opaque, somewhat strongly, irregularly punctured.
