the apex slightly narrower than the base, through the cubitus 

 turning slightly upwards from the recurrent nervure. The

Head and thorax alutaceous, opaque, covered with a pale 

 down ; the lower half of the clypeus shining, somewhat 

 strongly, but not closely punctured. Apical half of meso- 

 pleurae smooth and shining above. On the apex of the 

 metanotum are three areae longer than wide, the central larger 

 than the lateral and all rounded above ; leading from the 

 base to the central area are two keels which curve inwardly 

 before the middle, the apical half of the area being wider 

 than the basal. The anterior tibias sparsely, the four 

 posterior thickly spinose. 



This species may be known from F. annuh'tarsis, Cam,, 

 the type of the genus (it is also from Simla) thus : — 



Clypeus, lower inner orbits, and a spot on the sides of 

 mesonotum at the base pale yellow ; flagellum 

 brownish beneath before the white band ; second 

 abdominal segment black, red at the base, the inner 

 keel of spiracular area distinct ; the four hind femora 

 testaceous aiiniilitarsis. 



Clypeus, lower inner orbits, and base of mesonotum 

 entirely black ; flagelluni black before the white 

 band; second abdominal segment red, the inner keel 

 of spiracular area indistinct ; the four hind femora 

 black spinipes.
