finer, closely and less distinct than they are in the middle ; the rest is strongly 
closely striated, the striz more or less twisted, the outer more regularly so than 
the central, which are oblique and converge towards the centre ; those on the 
apical slope are stronger and more distinctly and regularly twisted. Upper 
third of propleure closely punctured, the rest strongly striated. Mesopleure 
finely, closely punctured except at the apex above, this part having its base 
bordered by fine striz ; the metapleure are more strongly punctured. Abdomen 
smooth. 
Glodianus pallidiceps, sp.n. 
Head, thorax and basal half of abdominal petiole red, the rest of abdomen 
black, with white lines on the apices of the basal five abdominal segments, above, 
the line on the first wider than the others and with the middle of the base dilated, 
its sides rounded, the line on the second shorter than the others, separated from the 
outer edge by half its length, its base dilated triangularly in the middle, the 
other lines are of equal width ; the sides of the second and following segments are 
white on the lower edge, the line becoming gradually wider to the fifth, that on 
the apical third still wider, but of equal width. The face, clypeus, labrum and 
mandibles are pallid yellow, the outer orbits have the rufous tint paler than it is 
on the vertex. Antenne black, the scape red, the 8th to 14th joints white except 
above ; the joints are thickened and compressed beyond the middle, attenuated 
at the apex. Legs : the four front legs, the hinder cox and the basal joint of the 
trochanters on the inner side, coloured like the body, the rest of the hind legs 
black, except the apical half of the basal tarsal jot and the whole of the second, 
third and fourth which are white. Wings hyaline, the nervures and stigma black ; 
the areolet slightly longer along the longitudinal than along the transverse ner- 
vures, and of equal width, the second transverse cubital nervure bullated behind. 
Female. 
Length 16 m.m. ; terebra, 17 m.m. 
There is a flattened, distinct spine, rounded and narrowed above, in the middle 
of the front. Face roundly raised in the centre, finely, closely punctured, the 
sides of the raised part obscurely striated. Clypeus roundly convex, separated 
from the face. Labrum projecting. Parapsidal furrows stoutly, widely striated ; 
the apex of the mesonotum with fine, close, rounded striz. Scutellums smooth, 
shining. Base of metanotum to the keel smooth, the rest closely, strongly regu- 
larly striated, with a short, stronger stria or keel on the sides of the top of apical 
slope. Propleurz smooth, with three stout oblique strie on the top in the centre. 
The raised upper part of the mesopleure smooth, the rest closely, finely punc- 
tured, obliquely finely striated below the middle of the smooth part. Meta- 
pleurz closely, obliquely striated, strongly above, weaker below, the base smooth. 
Abdomen smooth ; the black on it is tinged with blue. 
Glodianus lissonotus, sp.n. 
Ferruginous, the face, clypeus, labrum and mandibles pallid yellow; the post- 
petiole and the following abdominal segments black, the apex of the second to 
fifth segment with a band rounded at the base, the following two with narrow 
lines and the second and following ventral segments pallid yellow ; the four front
