slope, the lateral apical angles broadly, the mesopleuree, except a narrow line 
curving round the outer side of the tubercles, and then going down the base, 
an oblique line running down from the outer side of the tubercles to the middle 
cox, the upper half regular of equal width, the lower irregular, its upper half 
thicker than the lower, a line on either side of the micdcle of the metapleurz 
on the upper half and a line along the lower edge. The basal 5 abdominal 
segments are broadly black at the base and apex, the lines narrowed on the 
outer side, the 2 lines united in the middle by a black longitudinal one, these 
lines becoming gradvally wider. that on the 5th double the wiath of the 4th 
line ; the last segment is black, except for a longish triangular mark on either 
side near the apex ventral surface yellow except for an irregular mark in the 
middle of the penultimate, narrowed in the middle, the apical part thicker and 
more irregular than the basal; the last segment entirely black. Legs pale 
yellow, the femora broadly black above, a narrow line on the basal half of the 
4 front tibiae behind. the hinder entirely lined with black broadly behind. 
Wings hyaline, the nervures black ; the 2nd abscissa of the radius is half the 
length of the 35rd ; the 2nd abscissa of the cubitus is broadly rounded between 
the Ist recurrent and the 2nd transverse cubital ; the 2nd recurrent nervure 
has a minute stump of a vein near the bottom of the anterior third on the 
outer side. Female. 
Length 17 m.m. 
There are at least 6 spines on the anterior metatarsus, which becomes 
gradually widened from the base to the apex on the outer side; the apex is 
obliquely widened : the following 3 joints are obliquely widened from the base 
to the apex on the outer side, the base being hardly one-fourth of the width 
of the apex, the 2nd is larger than the 3rd, the latter than the 4th. 
The sides of the metanotum project more and form more distinct angles 
than in B. multipicta, Sm., which may be known from it by the ventral surface 
of the abdomen being largely marked with black, by the clypeus having 2 
marks and the labrum broadly black in the middle, and the apex, not the base 
of the scutellum is black. 
Bembidula ornaticauda, sp. n. 
Black, the clypeus and labrum except for a broad black line down their 
centre, the line on the clypeus narrowed towards the apex, a line on the lower 
half of the inner orbits, a narrow line on the apex of the pronotum, curving 
round the tubercles, a matk, on the outer side of the apex of the mesonotum, 
behind the tegule, an oblong mark on the sides of the scutellum in the centre, 
post-scutellum, the apex of the metanotum on the sides above the incision, a 
broad line, narrowed in the centre near the apex of the Ist segment of the 
abdomen and similar lines, not narrowed in the middle, on the apices of the 
2nd to 5th segments, a line along the sides of the 6th, a longish triangular 
mark on the 6th and lines on the apices of the 2nd to 5th ventral, lemon- 
yellow. Flagellum of antenne reddish brown except above. Legs black, 
the 4 front femora yellow below, the middle, more narrowly than the anterio:, 
the anterior tarsi broadly yellow on the lower side, the end joint mure broadly
