•mandibles and palpi dark piceons, the wings clear hyaline, the nervurcs 

 black. $. 



Length 4 mm. 



Quetta. June. 



The ')rd joint of antenna? as long as the 4th. Head and thorax covered 

 with a minute white pile. Face closely, distinctly, the clypeus more sparsely 

 punctured ; it is separated from the face by a broad curved depression ending 

 laterally in a round fovea. Front and vertex laterally closely punctured ; 

 in the centre they are more sparsely and less strongly punctured ; above, and 

 between the antenna?, is a large, broad fovea ; there is a curved furrow behind 

 the hinder ocelli. Mesonotum and scutellum shining, only minutely punctur- 

 ed ; the apex of the latter has on the sides a few short keels. On the sides of 

 the post-scutellum, at the base, are 3 deep fovea? clearly separated by keels. 

 Metanotum stoutly irregularly reticulated. Upper part of propleura? smooth ; 

 the lower part at the base rugose, on the apex are 5 stout keels which become 

 gradually shorter from the top to the bottom. On the base of the mesopleura? 

 is a stout keel running from the top to the bottom, it is longitudinally irregular- 

 ly striated on either side. Metapleurae irregularly closely reticulated, almost 

 rugose. Abdominal petiole nearly half the length of the rest of the abdo- 

 men ; it is irregularly punctured-striated on the sides ; on the basal half above 

 are 2 keels, which unite at the apex and converge, but do not unite at the base; 

 the dilated part is thickly covered with white pubescence. The basal abscissa 

 •of tbe radius is dilated below. The abdominal petiole is longer than usual. 



EVANIIDiE. 



Evania nurseana, sp. nov. 



Black, covered with a white down ; wings clear hyaline, the nervures black ; 

 the metasternal process stout, long, widely diverging. 9 and $, 



Length 6-7 mm. 



Quetta. June to August. 



Face shining, strongly but not closely punctured ; the sides of clypeus widely 

 depressed, the central part gradually narrowed towards the apex, which is 

 transverse. Malar space smooth, fully half the length of the eyes. Front and 

 vertex almost impuuctate ; smooth, shining ; from the ocelli a deep furrow 

 runs down to the antenna? ; below the middle they curve obliquely inwardly, 

 then run parallel, close to each other, downwards ; outside these a narrower 

 furrow runs obliquely from the outerside of the ocelli to the outerside 

 of the antenna?. Hinder ocelli separated from each other by a distinctly 

 greater distance than they are from the eyes. Middle of mesonotum strongly, 

 deeply, closely punctured ; the sides almost impunctate ; the furrows deep. 

 Scutellum strongly, but not very closely, punctured all over. Metanotum 

 strongly reticulated, more closely at the base ; the apical slope covered 

 with white pile. Abdominal petiole smooth, shining. Antennal scape long, as 

 • long as the pedicle and the followiug joint united ; these two united are as long 

 as the 4th and 5th joints united. Tibia? and tarsi sparsely, minutely spinose. 

 The base and lower part of the propleura? are strongly deeply punctured, the
