half of the prothorax tinged with rufous ; the sides of the second to 

 fifth abdominal segments of a darker rufous colour. The anterior 

 coxae, apex of middle pair, the four anterior trochanters, and the four 

 anterior femora rufous, the middle coxae black, except at apex, the 

 middle femora black below, the four anterior tibiae and tarsi white, 

 the anterior tibiae broadly black behind, the black band farther from 

 the base than it is from the apex, the middle have the basal fourth 

 and the apex narrowly white, the rest being black ; the apex of the 

 first joint of the middle tarsi narrowly and the other joints entirely 

 above, are black ; the hind legs black, a broad irregular band near 

 the base of the tibiae, and the first and second joints of the hind tarsi 

 except at the base white. Wings hyaline, the nervures and stigma 

 black. 2 . Length, 15 mm. ; terebra 17 mm. 



Kuching, Borneo (John Hewitt, B.A.). 



Head smooth and shining, the cheeks, lower part of front, face 

 and clypeus densely covered with silvery pubescence. Ocelli placed 

 in front of the hinder part of the eyes ; they are in a curve ; the 

 hinder are separated from each other by a little greater distance than 

 they are from the eyes ; the latter distinctly converge below and are 

 separated from the mandibles by less than the length of the antennal 

 pedicle. Prothorax longer than the mesonotum with the scutellum, 

 smooth. Base of mesonotum smooth, the rest stoutly transversely 

 striated, the striae more or less curved. Scutellum smooth, the apex 

 with two or three striae. Metanotum coarsely irregularly reticulated ; 

 the apex less strongly than the base. Pro- and mesopleurae aluta- 

 ceous, the depressed apex of the latter smooth and shining, the lower 

 half of the depression striated. Metapleurae reticulated, weakly at 

 the base, more strongly at the apex. The first abdominal segment 

 as long as the following three united. Antennal pedicle twice longer 

 than wide ; the third joint about one-quarter longer than the fourth. 



Evania trichiosoma, sp. n. 



Black, the apical slope of the metanotum and sternum densely 

 covered with white pubescence, the rest of the thorax, head and the 

 petiole of abdomen more sparsely covered with long black hair ; the 

 apex of the fore coxae, of the four anterior trochanters and the middle 

 joints of the four anterior tarsi testaceous, the pubescence on the 

 legs is longer and denser than usual ; it is black, and on the under 

 side of the coxae is a dense covering of silvery pubescence. The long 

 spur of the hind coxae is about one-fourth of the length of the meta- 

 tarsus, and is a little longer than the second joint ; tibiae and tarsi 

 not spinose. Metasternal process strongly diverging. Face strongly 

 striated, the striae clearly separated ; there are two striae down the 

 inner side of the outer orbits. Wings hyaline, vei-y iridescent ; basal 

 abscissa of radius rounded, the apical is faint, oblique, rounded at the 

 base. ^ . Length, 4 mm. 



Ocelli in a slight curve, the hinder separated from each other by 

 a slight but distinctly greater distance than they are from the eyes. 

 Front stoutly striated, the striae shghtly obhque, distinctly separated. 

 Malar space as long as the eyes. Puncturation on thorax strong, the 

 punctures round and clearly separated ; the upper part of propleurae
