This is a paler, smaller species than peshinensis ; it is readily known from it 

 by the transverse keel on the metanotum and by the elongated area on the 

 apical slope. 



Nototrachini. 

 Nototrachus rufo-orbitalis, sp, nov. 



Black ; the eye orbits narrowly below, more broadly above dark rufous ; 

 behind extending on to the ocelli ; and on it, opposite the ocelli, is a yellowish 

 mark. The fore legs are fuscous tinged with yellow ; the 4 hinder black, their 

 knees yellow ; the hind tibiae are fuscous on the inner side. Wings hyaline, the 

 stigma and nervures blackish. $ . 



Length 7 mm. ; terebra 2 mm. 



Quetta. May. 



Face and clypeus shining, sparsely punctured ; the front keeled down the 

 middle, stoutly, irregularly obliquely striated ; the sides sparsely punctured ; 

 the vertex is smooth and shining. Pronotum irregularly, transversely striated. 

 Mesonotum stoutly, irregularly reticulated ; the middle lobe is broadly bor- 

 dered by dark rufous. Scutellum transversely striated, almost reticulated ; 

 the apical half is dark rufous; the sides are stoutly keeled, the keels meeting 

 in the middle. Metanotum stoutly reticulated ; there is a smooth area, longer 

 than wide, in the centre of the base. Pro- and mesopleurae, except the upper 

 half of the latter at the apex, closely, stoutly, longitudinally striated, the 

 strise running into each other ; the metapleurae stoutly longitudinally striated- 

 reticulated. The upper part of the propleurse is broadly rufous. Abdomen 

 smooth, bare, and shining. 



QampopUgini. 

 Tranosema f striata, sp. nov. 



Black, shining, the mandibles, except at the apex, and tegulse yellow ; palpi 

 pale testaceous, black at the base ; legs fulvous, the coxae and basal joint of 

 trochanters black ; the knees and anterior tibiae yellow. Wings clear hyaline, 

 the costa and stigma pale testaceous, the nervures black. $ .

Peshin. April. 



The upper two-thirds of the propleurse, the basal half of the mesopleura; 

 except below the middle and the middle of the petiole above are finely and 

 closely striated ; the metanotum is irregularly, more strongly striated and more 

 or less punctured. Face aciculated, opaque, the clypeus smooth and shining. 

 Eyes coarsely facetted, parallel, not converging above or below ; the malar 

 space short, not much longer than the antennal pedicle. Front and vertex 

 aciculated. Ocelli prominent ; the hinder separated from each other by about 

 the same distance as they are from the eyes. Metanotum strongly aciculated 

 or finely closely punctured ; it is areoiated in the middle ; the petiolar is twice 

 longer than wide, narrowed gradually towards the apex, where it is half the 

 length of the base ; the areola is more than twice longer than wide and ob-
