Hymenoptera from the Khasta Hills. 271 
thickly covered with pale fuscous hair. Mesonotum closely 
and uniformly punctured and thickly covered with short 
pubescence. Scutellum closely punctured, its apex broadly 
projecting and slightly incised in the middle. Pleurz closely 
punctured ; the hollowed centre of the propleurz bears six 
perpendicular distinctly separated keels. Median segment 
rugosely punctured; the areola is much wider than long, is 
rounded behind, and almost transverse in front; its base and 
apex aciculated, the centre irregularly rugose, and with three 
irregular hollows; the posterior median area coarsely trans- 
versely striated ; the spiracular rugose, its apical half with 
some stout oblique keels. The curved keel below the middle 
of the metapleurz is stout and is furrowed below, the furrow 
being indistinctly crenulated. The postpetiole is strongly 
punctured, the second, third, and fourth segments are strongly 
and closely punctured. Gastrocceli deep, the middle behind 
with a broad striated band. 
Amblyjoppa tibialis, sp. n. 
Black ; the ninth to thirteenth joints of the antennz white ; 
the inner orbits broadly below, more narrowly above, the 
outer from shortly above the middle of the eyes, narrow 
above, becoming gradually wider below, the labrum, the sides 
of the clypeus, an oblique yellow mark on the upperside of 
the mandibles at the base, the palpi, a line on the pronotum, 
roundly and broadly incised on the lower side, two small 
lines behind the middle of the mesonotum, the scutellar 
keels broadly, the apex of the scutellum (the mark with a 
triangular incision at the base), the postscutellum, two marks 
on the apex of the metanotum covering the spines, the 
tubercles, an irregular rounded mark on the lower side of 
the mesopleure (extending on to the propleure), pale yellow. 
Mesonotum closely and distinctly punctured ; the scutellum 
not quite so closely punctured, its basal half with short, the 
apical with longer, pale hair. Areola irregularly reticulated, 
surrounded by a flat, broad, smooth keel, which is widened 
at the base; the posterior median area transversely irregu- 
larly striated, much more coarsely at the base than at the 
apex; the outer areze have a few stout curved keels. Pro- 
and mesopleure closely punctured, the former stoutly 
obliquely striated in the middle; the metapleure closely rugose, 
the punctures running into reticulations; the part above 
the spiracles coarsely, obliquely, rugosely reticulated. The 
abdominal petiole and the second and third segments entirely 
rufous, the petiole for the greater part strongly punctured,
