part of the propleure, tubercles, a large wide line on the apical three-fourths of 
the mesopleure, transverse above, becoming gradually widened from the base to 
the apical third, then narrowed, the apex thicker than the base, the usual mark 
below the hind wings, a large mark, almost filling the space, on the metapleure, 
dilated at the base above, the apex becoming obliquely widened from the bottom 
to the top, the post-petiole except at the base, the black there trilobate, and the 
apices of all the segments, and the ventral segments, lemon-yellow ; the line on 
the penultimate much widened at the sides as is also that on the last, the line 
on it being much narrowed in the centre. Legs red, the apical two joints of the 
tarsi black, the four front cox and trochanters, the hind coxe broadly at the 
base above, yellow; the apical two joints of the tarsi black ; the hinder tarsi 
white. Wings hyaline, the nervures and stigma black, the transverse median 
nervure, received behind the transverse basal. Female. 
Length 10 m.m. ; terebra 3 m.m. 
The apex of the 6th and the 7th to 13th antennal joints white. Face closely, 
the clypeus sparsely punctured. Front irregularly reticulated, striated above, 
the depressed lower part finely, closely transversely striated. The apical third 
of the mesonotum is finely, closely longitudinally striated ; the furrows are 
more strongly, widely striated, the strize oblique and clearly separated. Scutel- 
lums impunctate. Metanotum aciculated in the centre of the basal part and 
with a shallow depression which becomes widened towards the apex, the outer 
part irregularly, obliquely striated ; the rest strongly, irregularly reticulated 
above, transversely striated on the apical slope ; the teeth are large, bluntly 
conical, widened at the base, longer than wide and than the projecting part, 
which is longer on the outer than on the inner side. The top of the propleure 
at the base and apex and the lower part are striated ; there is a finely striated 
oblique band on the mesopleure ; the metapleuree smooth above, the base pune- 
tured, the rest irregularly obliquely striated. Abdomen smooth, shining, the 
second segment opaque, aciculated. 
Polyaenus spilonotus, sp.n. 
Black, shining, the face, clypeus, the inner orbits to the end of the vertex, the 
outer on the lower two-thirds, the line extending to the lower edge of the malar 
space on the outer side, palpi, a line, narrowed on the basal end below on the 
centre of the pronotum, on the sides ; a spot, longer than wide, of equal width, on 
the apex of the middle lobe of the mesonotum, the keels at the base of the scutel- 
lum, the scutellums, the narrow keels running out from them, the metanotal 
spines, a line running down from them, its apex obliquely narrowed on the 
outerside below, two narrow lines on the centre of the base of the pronotum, a 
longish mark, narrowed above, on the lower basal half of the propleure, tubercles, 
a large longish mark, gradually narrowed above from the base to the apex, the 
mesosternum, the usual mark behind the hind wings, and a squarish mark, but 
slightly narrowed behind, on the metapleura, yellow, the abdomen rufo-testa- 
ceous, darker towards the apex, the legs of a brighter red colour, the tarsi slightly 
paler, moze ye'lowish in tint. Wings hyaline, the stigma and nervures black,
