species. He found that one differed from carbonaria only slightly, 

 having darker wings, having the joints of the flagellum, except the 

 last, not longer than broad, while those of carbonaria are all a little 

 longer than broad, and having the punctures of the pygidium some- 

 what finer.

A female from Borneo, not marked type, is in the British Museum. 

 Gahan finds that this species would run to couplet 6, and that it is 

 like carbonaiia, but differs markedly from it and other related species 

 in having the ocellocular line hardly equal to twice the greatest width 

 of an ocellus, while in other species it is three or four times as long. 

 The ocelli appear to be unusually large and the eyes more than ordi- 

 narilj^ convergent above. The propodeum is unusually long, being 

 nearly, if not quite, two-thirds as long down the middle of the dorsum 

 as broad at the apex of the dorsum. The preapical row of punctures 

 on the first tergite is very weak, and the whole tergite is weakly 

 punctate to a noticeable degree, with unusually small punctures; the 

 disk of the second tergite medially from base to apex is almost im- 

 punctate except for a few sparse, very weak punctures, even the pre- 

 apical row being subobsolete. Gahan's notes appear to differentiate 

 this species quite sharply from other species discussed in this paper. 



TIPHIA BORNEANA Cameron 



Tipliia horncana Cameron, Entomologist, vol. 40, 1907, p. 288. 



A single male from Borneo, marked type, is in the British Museum. 

 Gahan finds that it agrees in many characters with our specimens of 

 malayana, but the following differences are noted, which undoubtedly 

 separate it not only from inalayana but from the other species in our 

 keys. The radial cell is pointed at its apex, the radial vein joining 

 the metacarpus at the margin of the wing in a sharp angle, without 

 the usual backward or upward curve found in tnalayana. The 

 second cubital and second recurrent veins also are more nearly 

 interstitial. The pronotum is almost impunctate, but has a very 

 few subobsolete punctures. The propodeum is shagreened and is 

 similar to that of malayana^ but lacks the crenulae or rugae border- 

 ing the transverse carina and the longitudinal carinae that form the 

 sides of the areola. The first tergite is almost impunctate, the 

 transverse preapical groove is present but impunctate; the .second 

 tergite is almost impunctate and is poli-shed; the following tergites 

 are finely shagreened, and have weak punctures.
