clypcn<^, the clypeus, a broad carved line on the inner orbits, 

 commencing shortly above the antennse and extending above 

 to the end of the eyes, a longish triangular mark (the 

 narrowed end above) on the outer orbits, commencing 

 sliortly below the middle and reaching near to the middle of 

 the malar space, a broad mark on tiie base of the mandibles, 

 palpi, a broad line on the middle of pronotum, a line on the 

 lower edge of propleurpe, tubercles, tegula?, a line on scutellar 

 keels, scutellum, a broad, large mark, roundly narrowed 

 below, on the sides of metanotum on apical slope, and the 

 apices of the abdominal segments (the lines on the basal 

 three broad, narrower on the others), pale yellow. The 

 seventh to tinrteenth joints of antenna white, except above. 

 Legs red, the hinder darker in tint, the tarsi black, the 

 second and third joints of the posterior white ; the four 

 anterior coxse and trochanters yellow ; the hind coxse (except 

 broadly on tlie inner side, where they are yellow, as they are 

 also at the apex below), the apex of femora narrowly, and the 

 base and apex of tibiai slightly more broadly, black. Wings 

 hyaline, the stigma and nervures black. ? . 

 Length 10, terebra 2 mm. 

 Sikkim. 



Face rugosely punctured, more or less reticulated in the 

 centre ; the clypeus strongly, sparsely punctured. Front in 

 the centre, to the apical depression, strongly striated, the 

 striai intermixing ; it is longitudinally striated above, 

 transverse below. Mesonotum closely, finely punctured, 

 irregularly transversely striated along the furrows. Scutel- 

 lar depression wide and deep ; there are four stout keels on 

 it. Metanotum behind the keel stoutlj', longitudinally 

 striated ; the rest stoutly, closely reticulated. Pleurse closely^ 

 rugosely reticulated ; the greater part of the propleura? 

 stoutly striated. The first and the apical segments of the 

 abdomen smooth ; the middle closely punctured. Areolet 

 wider along the radius than along the transverse cubital 

 nervures, of almost equal width; the recurrent nervure is 

 received shortly beyond the middle. 



'J'his species has the general coloration (including the 

 maiks on the face) of C. rnjipes, Cara., from Deesa, but is 

 much larger ; they may be separated as follows : — 



Base of metanotum punctured, with an areola ; the post- 

 petiole striaii;ly punctured; meso- and metapleur?e 

 with yellow marks ; hind coxoe red ; the hind tarsi 

 not maculate with white rufipes. 



Jiase of metanotum striated, without an areola ; the post- 

 ])etiole smooth ; meso- and metnpleurte immaculate ; 

 the liind coxye black and yellow, the hind tarsi 

 maculate with white rimutlilarsiit.
