Mesonotum sparsely, weakly punctured, except for an irregular belt across 
the apex, the scutellums almost smooth. Morethan the central half of the 
metanotum is rather closely, strongly punctured and has 2 parallel keels down 
the centre, the apical slope opaque, impunctate. Propleuree irregularly punc- 
tured in the middle, the mesopleure sparsely, weakly punctured above, more 
strongly and closely below ; the upper half of the metapleure closely, strougly 
obliquely striated. Basal slope of the lst abdominal segment margined above ; 
the basal half of the segments irregularly punctured, with a stronger trans- 
verse row of punctures beyond the middle ; the punctures are finer and closer 
on the apical than on the basal segments; the last is punctured at the base 
except in the middle ; the rest of the pygidium smooth, opaque. The ventral 
segments are more closely, strongly and regularly punctured than the dorsal ; 
the puncturation becomes closer towards the apex. There is an irregular 
row of punctures down the apical two-thirds of the metanotal area Tegule 
smooth, not reaching to the apex ot scutellum. 
This species has 2 more abdominal marks than #. 12 maculata, Cam. and 2. 
julii, Romand, besides the 2 transverse ones on the last segment. 
PoMPILID.%, 
Salius aurodecoratus, sp. n. 
Black, densely covered all over with bright golden pubescence, including 
the coxe, the rest of the legs bare, the greater part of the 6th and the 7tk to 
10th antennal joints rufo-yellow; wings bright orange yellow to the base 
of the radius, paler, almost hyaline beyond, a pale fuscous cloud fills almost 
the basal half of the radial cellule, the 2nd cubital, the base of the 3rd irregu- 
larly, a large conical cloud along the basal three-fourths of the 2nd recurrent 
nervure on the inner side and there is a cloud round the apex ; both the recur- 
rent nervures are received shortly before the middle ; the 2nd cubital cellule 
longer along the radius and cubitus than along the transverse cubital; the 
transverse median nervure received shortly, but distinctly beyond the trans- 
verse basal; the accessory in hind wings shortly before the cubitus. Male. 
Length 13 m.m. 
Hind ocelli separated from the eyes by one half more than they are from 
each other. Claws bidentate. Long spur of hind tibiz almost half the length 
of metatarsus. Hypopygium densely pilose, its apex broadly rounded. 
Salius tuberculiventris, spn. 
Black, the apical three-fourths of the 3rd and the whole of the following 
antennal joints rufo-fulvous, velvety, opaque, the bead, scutellum, metanotum 
and apical abdominal segments sparsely covered with black hair; wings 
uniformly fuscous violaceous, iridescent, the stigma and nervures black, the 
Ist abscissa of radius about one quarter of the length of the 2nd, which is 
about one quarter longer than the 3rd; the Ist recurrent nervure js received 
in the apical fourth, the 2nd very shortly before the middle of the cellule ; the
