PARASITIC 11YMEN0PTERA OF BALUCHISTAN. 275 



nervure is received almost, if not quite, opposite the commencement of the 

 basal absoissa of the radius. Metanotum closely minutely puncmred, depmsed 

 in the middle at the base ; behind the middle is an indistinct tiansverse keel ; in 

 the centre of the apical third are 2 stout, parallel keels, united at the top by a 

 transverse keel, which curves down between them and then roundly upwards 

 at the sides ; on either side is a large triangular area, the narrowed end above. 

 Metasternal keel stout at its base ; surrounding the base of the coxa?, is a 

 stouter, mora irregular keel. The scutellum is long, nairow, dilated at the 

 base ; the keels do not extend beyond the lateral slope. The recurrent neivure, 

 in front, is bullated to near the middle ; there is a much shorter bulla on the 

 disco-cubital nervure. Tomples nearly as long as the upper part of the eyes, 

 slightly narrowed behind. Front depressed in the middle, stoutly keeled. $. 



Le gth 17 mm. 



Peshin. April. 



This species differs from the 2 others described here in its larger size in the 

 large size and curved form of the stump on the disco-cubital nervure ; and 

 in the 3 areas on the apex of metanotum. 



Ophion peshinensis, sp. nov. 



Pale luteous, the head pale yellow ; mesonotum with 3 obscure fuscous lines , 

 wings hyaline, the costa and nervures black ; the stigma testaceous, paler at the 

 base and apex ; metanotum closely, finely punctured, without any keels ; the 

 tarsi strongly spinose. ft. 



Length 11 mm. 



Peshin. April. 



The stump on the disco-cubital nervure is half the length of the basal 

 abscissa of the cubitus ; the recurrent nervure is received distinctly behind the 

 commencement of the latter ; the transverse median nervure is almost intersti- 

 tial. Front furrowed in the middle. Temples broad, roundly broadly nar- 

 rowed behind. Scutellum long, narrowed towards the apex. Depression 

 at base of metanotum narrow, curved. 



Ophion quettaensis, sp. nov. 



Pallid luteous, the head yellow ; the antennae rufrscent ; the me?onotum 

 with 3 pale fuscous lines ; wings hyaline ; the costa and stigma pale testaceous, 

 the nervures black ; behind the middle of the metar.otr.rn is a transverse keel : 

 from its middle 2 keals run to the apex ; the basal depression is short, deep 

 and it becon es gradually rarowed from the 1 ase to the apex. T here is a 

 broad, blackhh stripe down the back of the 2nd and down the basal half 

 of the 3rd. The stump on the disco-cubit il narvure is short ; the transverse 

 melian is leceived almost behind the transverse basal; the recurrert nervure 

 is received shortly, but distinctly behind tLe base of the apical abscissa of 

 the radius. Tarsi sparsely spinose. 



Length 12 mra. 



Peshin. Airil.
