130 Mr. R. E. Turner on the 



of punctures before tlie apex and rounde'l anteriorly, tlie 

 second with a transverse, longitudinally striated groove at 

 the base ; the third sparsely and tinely punctured at the base 

 and apex ; the fourth and fi*'th more closely punctured; the 

 epipygium coarsely punctured-rugose at the base, smooth and 

 shining at the apex. The first recurrent nervure is received 

 pist before the middle of tlie first cubital cell, the second just 

 i)eyond the middle of the second cubital cell. 



Black ; the mandibles, the apex of the pygidium, and the 

 spines of the tibiae and tarsi ferruginous brown ; antennte 

 fupco-ferruginous beneath and at the extreme apex. Wings 

 hyaline, tinted with yellow, stigma and nervures ferruginous.

 terior margin truncate. Front finely and very closely 

 punctured, thinly clothed with long, pale, fulvous pubescence, 

 the space round the ocelli shining, sparsely and more coarsely 

 ])unctured ; the scape finely punctured, shining and clothed 

 beneath with rather long, pale fulvous j)ubescence. Pro- 

 notum finely and closely punctured, the posterior margin 

 rather narrowly smooth and shining; propieurae finely and 

 obscurely striated, smooth and shining at the top. Meso- 

 notum and scutellum shining and rather sparsely punctured; 

 the median segment subopaque, with the usual three caringe, 

 the two outer carina? more than twice as far apart at the base 

 as at the apex ; finely punctured, aciculate near the lateral 

 margins, the sides of the segment closely striated ; the meso- 

 pleurse rather sparsely punctured. Abdomen closely punc- 

 tured, with sparse fulvous pubescence, thefirst segment rather 

 sliort, the apical half smooth and shining, with a transverse 

 row of fine punctures before the apex, the second segment 

 more sparsely punctured than the following one. Kadial 

 cell short, the second cubital cell extending lieyond it, the 

 second transverse cubital nervure strongly oblique and inter- 

 stitial with the oblique apical nervure of the radial cell. The 

 first recurrent nervure is received at the middle of the first 

 cubital cell, the second just beyond the middle of the second 

 cubital cell. 



Black ; the pubescence on the sides grey, on the dorsal 

 surface very ))ale fulvous ; the anlenna? beneath fusco- 

 ferruginous, the tarsi except the basal joint, and the spines 

 of the tibijB and tarsi ferruginous. W ings hyaline, stigma
