and the malar space, the line on the outer extending to the outer edge on the 
lower half, a broad line, narrowed at top and bottom, not reaching above to the 
pronotum, a slightly narrower line on the sides of the pronotum, not reaching to 
the base or apex, tegule, a line along the inner basal part of the lateral mesonotal 
lobes, the scutellar keels, the scutellums except a mark, rounded at the apex on 
the base of the scutellum, tubercles, a line leading down to them, broad above, 
narrowed below, and a narrow line on the apex of the mesopleure, white, legs 
coloured like the body, but slightly paler; the wings hyaline, the stigma and 
nervures black, the areolet double the length of the first transverse cubital ner- 
vure, widened at the apex, receiving the recurrent nervure near the apex; the 
transverse median nervure received shortly behind the transverse basal. 
Female. 
Length 9 m.m. ; terebra 3 m.m. 
Antenne stout, as long as the body, the 6th to 13th joints white. Entirely 
smooth and shining. Front spine stout, conical, not quite twice longer than it is 
wide at the base ; there is a short rounded tubercle-like projection immediately 
above it. Metanotal spines large, broad at the base, slightly curved. The 
lower half of the propleure is finely, closely striated, the meso-and metapleure 
sparsely, weakly punctured. The hind tarsi are paler, more yellowish in colour 
than the others and are closely spinose. 
The male is similarly coloured ; the antenne are longer and have the white 
band longer ; they are closely densely covered with short, black stiff pubescence. 
In both sexes the abdomen is slightly infuscated on the apical half. In the male 
the top of the frontal spine is black. 
Cryplanura interrupta, sp. n. 
Black, the abdomen and legs red, the palpi, a mark on the base of the mandibles, 
a squarish spot on the middle of the clypeus, the inner orbits the line continued 
to the top of the outer, a line, narrowed at the apex, on the pronotum, tegule, 
scutellum, metanotal spines, a line round the base of the prothorax, tubercles 
the usual large spot at the hind wings, a short line on the lower, apical part of the 
mesopleure, a conical spot in the middle of the apex of the metapleure, a wide 
line on the apex of the first abdominal segment, a narrower, interrupted one on the 
second and the whole of the penultimate, white ; the legs coloured like the body, 
the fourth anterior coxe and a band, shorter than the spurs, white. Wings 
hyaline, the stigma and nervures black, the parastigma white, the areolet small, 
squarish, the first transverse cubital nervure oblique, the recurrent nervure 
received before the middle ; a triangular cloud along the outer side of the trans- 
verse basal and transverse median nervures, but extending inside the former 
in front, and acloud at the apex, commencing near the base of the apical third 
of the radius and extending to its apex ; it has the outer side more irregular in 
outline, becomes gradually narrowed and reaches almost to the end of the 
discoidal cellule ; the transverse median nervure received shortly behind the 
transverse basal. Female. 
Length7 m.m. ; terebra 2m.m.
