the basal. The face, clypeus and malar space are yellowish ; the mandibles and Lad 
palpi testaceous. Male. 
Length 18 m.m. 
Hind legs very long, the taisi densely covered with stiff black pile below : the 
mesonotum and breast with short, the metanotum with longer white pubescence. 
Head and thorax smooth ; the metanotum on the sides from the basal to slope 
to near the apex finely punctured. 
Pedinopelte violaceipennis, sp.n. 
Black, the apex of mesothorax, including the postscutellum, the metathorax 
and the basal three segments of the abdomen red ; wings uniformily fuscous 
violaceous, the stigma and nervures black, the areolet oblique, four-angled, 
almost appendiculated, receiving the recurrent nervure almost in the middle ; 
the transverse median nervure received shortly beyond the transverse basal, 
the disco-cubital broadly roundly curved, broken by a minute stump before 
the middle. Male. 
Length 17 m.m. 
Head and thorax smooth and shining, the raised central part of the first ab- 
dominal segment and the middle of the second and third segments closely, dis- 
tinctly longitudinally striated, the striae on the latter two and, more particularly, 
on the first stronger ; the transverse furrows deep, crenulated on the second, the 
first wider, smooth and with only a few striz. Gastrocoeli deep, transverse, the 
bottom on the inner side with a few stria. Malar space as long as the eyes. 
Head and thorax densely covered with short black pubescence ; the black on 
them has a violaceous hue, as have also the legs and, more particularly, the 
coxee and femora. 
STIROJOPPA, gen. nov. 
Scutellum roundly convex, the apex with an oblique slope, the basal slope 
stoutly keeled laterally. Post-scutellum margined at the sides and apex. Basal 
depression of metanotum wide and deep, the areola projecting into it ; the latter 
is obliquely narrowed at the base, flat and smooth, the centre slightly depressed ; 
from its outer edges a keel runs down to the top of the apical slope ; the basal 
lateral arew are bounded at the top and sides by stout keels, the lateral ones 
becoming fainter towards the apex ; the apical arew are not defined, beyond that 
the middle is depressed ; the spiracular area is bounded on the outer side by a keel ; 
there is a roundly curved keel on the lower part of the bave of the metapleure. 
Post-petiole finely striated in the middle; the second and third abdom nal 
segments closely punctured. Labrum depressed. Front widely and deeply 
depressed. Temples wide, obliquely narrowed. Occiput deeply, widely depre sed. 
An enne dilated beyond the middle. Wings uniformly fuscous violaceous ; the 
areolet five-angled, narrowed in front ; disco-cubital nervure broken by a dis- 
tinct stump ; the transverse median nervure interstitial. The sheath of the 
ovipositor largely projects.
