spine on the hinder coxe. 
Black ; the face (except for a black line down the centre), 
the inner orbits to the lower ocelli, a spot behind the eyes, 
the clypeus (except at the apex), a line on the hinder part of 
the pronotum (narrowed in front), a line on the side of the 
mesonotum, the scutellum (except for a triangular mark on 
the sides at the base and a square mark in the middle 
behind), the postscutellum, the tubercles, the lower part of 
the pronotum, the hinder half of the propleure below, a 
mark on the lower side of the mesopleure at the base and 
extending on to the sternum, a small mark on the meta- 
pleurze below, the postscutellum, the basal half of the first, 
its apex, and the apices of all the other abdominal segments, 
yellow. legs fulvous, the four anterior more yellowish in 
tint, the hinder femora and tibie rufous; the hinder cox 
black, yellow in front and in the middle behind; the hinder 
trochanters marked with black; the apex of the hinder 
femora, the base of the hinder tibiz narrowly, and their apex 
broadly, black. Wings hyaline, the stigma and nervures 
black ; the areolet is almost appendiculated. Antenne 
longer than the body, black, a broad yellow band beyond the 
middle ; beyond the middle the joints are serrate and thickly 
covered with black hair. Thorax as long as the abdomen; 
on the basal edge of the mesonotum is a row of foves; the 
sides and apex of the middle lobe are bordered by irregular 
keels and furrows. Scutellum covered with long black 
hair, strongly keeled laterally, the keels at the base forming 
a triangular depression; the apex is depressed ; the post- 
scutellum smooth. The areola is broader than long, its 
basal two thirds obliquely narrowed ; its base is smooth, the 
rest irregularly longitudinally striated; the central keel is 
continued to the base; the posterior median area is clearly 
defined, its base irregularly reticulated, the rest of it (as are 
also the lateral arez) stoutly transversely striated. Apex of 
propleure striated ; the mesopleurze smooth above, the lower 
part strongly and closely punctured ; the metapleure strongly 
and closely reticulated. The second and third abdominal 
segments are closely punctured, striated at the base; the 
gastroceeli deep, longish, brownish, bordered outwardly by
