the third) ; the inner orbits broadly, the outer more nar- 
rowly, and the base of the mandibles, yellow. Legs coloured 
like the body, the four front coxe with a yellowish tinge. 
Wings fuscous violaceous; the stigma and nervures black ; 
the areolet triangular, the nervures almost touching 
above. 9.

Hab. Khasia. Coll. Rothney. 
Face and clypeus closely punctured, the clypeus thickly 
covered with white pubescence, the face with a shorter and 
sparser pile. Tips of mandibles black. Palpi pale rufous. 
The edges of the mesonotum, the parts at the sides of the 
scutellums, the base and apex of the metanotum, the apical 
keels, the middle of the propleure, the upper part, base, and 
apex of the mesopleure, and the base and lower part of the 
metapleure, black. Mesonotum closely and minutely punc- 
tured; the scutellum not quite so closely punctured. 
Median segment closely and rather strongly punctured ; 
the areola longer than broad; its sides bulge roundly out- 
wardly ; the apical slope is irregularly transversely striated. 
. Propleurz obscurely, the meso- and metapleure closely and 
distinctly, punctured. 
Differs from C. ferruginea in the areola being limited 
behind by a keel, by the middle of the segment having at the 
base a distinct oblique slope, by the lateral keels on the top 
of the apical slope of the segment being quite straight and 
sharply oblique, not curved upwards; the face and pleure 
are more distinctly tinged with yellow and the abdominal 
segments are more broadly marked with black. 
Algathia parvimaculata, sp. 0. 
Black; the sides of the face (broadest below), the clypeus 
(except at the apex narrowly), the mandibles (except at the 
apex), the palpi (except at the base), the inner orbits to the 
hinder ocelli, the base of the pronotum, the sides more 
narrowly, the base of the tegulz broadly, the tubercles, the 
scutellums, the teeth on the median segment, the apex of the 
petiole, the sides of the second segment more narrowly, and 
the sides of the third in the middle, yellow. Legs red, the 
coxze and trochanters black, the four anterior marked with 
yellow on the outer side, the fore trochanters yellow in
