- the parts at the sides of the scutellum and postscutellum, a 
semicircular mark on the supramedian area, continued down 
the posterior median area to the apex of the segment, a broad 
band in the middle of the propleuree, a complete band on the 
top of the mesopleure, the base and lower side of the meta- 
pleure, the apex of the mesosternum, and the metasternum, 
black. Scutellum pyramidal, the base and apex with an 
oblique slope, strongly and closely punctured, thickly covered 
with short fuscous hair; the postscutellum with an oblique 
slope to the base and apex; punctured, covered with short 
glistening white hair; the depression at its side wide, strongly 
striated. The base of the median segment has an obliquely 
rounded slope, black; the black dilated backwards in the 
middle; the supramedian area is broadly rounded at the base, 
slightly longer than broad, its apex bounded by a stout keel, 
which bulges slightly backwards; the other arezw are not 
defined; the teeth are large, longer than broad, rounded at 
the apex. ‘The pleure closely punctured, the meta- more 
coarsely than the others. Areolet wide at the top, not much 
narrower than the space bounded by the recurrent and the 
second transverse cubital nervures; the recurrent is broad 
curved and is received shortly beyond the middle; the trans- 
verse median nervure is received distinctly in front of the 
transverse basal. The legs are uniformly coloured yellow, 
except for the posterior trochanter, which are black; the 
tarsi are closely and strongly spinose. The base of the 
petiole is smooth, shining, impunctate, the apex closel 
punctured ; there is a black longitudinal line down its middle ; 
the base of the second segment broadly, of the third more 
narrowly, black; closely punctured; the gastrocceli shallow, 
distant from the base of the segment, finely punctured, rufous 
in the middle. 
XESTOJOPPA, gen. nov. 
Antenne short, thick, dilated and compressed beyond the 
middle; the joints of the flagellum not much longer than 
broad. The central area of ie median segment commencing 
at the middle of the segment. Vabrwa. projecting, Sere 
tellum not much raised, ie sides not keeled. Occiput mar- 
gined. Areolet 4-, or indistinctly 5-angled; the recurrent 
nervure is received between the middle ad apex Abdomen 
with seven segments, smooth and shining ; gastrocceli shallow, 
Legs stout, the apices of the tarsal joints spinose. Colour 
yellow, ered with black. 
This genus comes very close to Zanthajoppa, but is easily
