closely transversely striated, the postpetiole with the sides 
obscurely punctured. Gastroceeli and base of second seg- 
ment longitudinally striated. 
Amblyjoppa rufocincta, sp. 1. 
Black; the scape of the antennz beneath and the ninth 
to fifteenth joints white; the face, clypeus, labrum, a trian- 
gular mark on the base of the mandibles, the inner and outer 
orbits below to the mandibles, a line on the pronotum, a 
- transverse one on its base, two short lines on the apex of the 
mesonotum (sharply narrowed at the base), the scutellums, 
two marks (narrowed gradually towards the apex and occu- 
pying the apical two thirds of the are on the metanotum), 
the tubercles, the greater part of the lower half of the meso- 
pleurze (the mark widely but not deeply incised at the tip), 
and two large marks on the apex of the petiole, yellow. 
Wings fusco-violaceous, paler on the basal half. Legs black, 
the hinder red ; the four front coxe and trochanters yellow, 
The second and third segments of the abdomen red. ¢?. 
Length 25 mm. 
Hab. Khasia. Coll. Rothney. 
Face strongly and closely punctured; the clypeus above is 
more sparsely and less strongly punctured; the vertex 
sparsely punctured, On the face is a broad black mark, 
narrowed above (where it is divided into three parts, a large 
central reaching to the top and a smaller lateral) ; below it 
extends to the clypeal foveze. Mesonotum closely, almost 
rugosely punctured, the scutellum less closely punctured. 
Median segment rugose ; areola horseshoe-shaped, irregularly 
closely reticulated (longitudinally in the middle, obliquely 
laterally) ; the posterior median area coarsely, irregularly, 
transversely striated, the striz stout and waved ; the apical 
half of the spiracular area is closely, stoutly, obliquely 
striated. Pleurs closely punctured, the propleure stoutly 
striated at the apex and obliquely down the centre. Petiole 
depressed in the middle above and transversely striated ; the 
postpetiole closely longitudinally striated in the middle, the 
sides sparsely, the apex in the middle rugosely punctured ; 
the second, third, and fourth segments are closely punctured, 
the middle of the second longitudinally striated; the basal 
slope of the gastrocceli stoutly striated. 
Agrees closely with ¢ébialis ; may be separated from it by 
the areola being clearly defined, by the apex of the petiole 
not being red, by the hinder tibiz being red (not white), and 
by the scutellum only being black on the apex.
