The 3 soecies of Limnerium here described may be separated thus : — 



a Metanotum not areolated, only a short, curved transverse keel at 



the base ; the transverse median nervure not interstitial ... parvicarinatum, . 



b <5 . Metanotum more or less areolated, the transverse median ner- 

 vure interstitial. 



Pedicle ofareolet ha'f the length of the basal transverse cubical 

 nervurp ; the 4 anterior coxse and trochanters reddish-yellow; 

 apical si' pe of metanotum irregularly, transversely, strongly, 

 but not clo=ely, striated quettaense. 



Pedicle of areolet longer tha" the basal transverse cubital nervure, 

 the 4 anterior coxse and trocha ters for the greater part b'ack ; 

 apicil slopif* of metanotum closely regularly tran versely stri.ited, 

 the stria? curved „ forticarivatum. 



Paurohxis, gen. nov. 



Wings without an areolet ; the recurrent nervure received shortly beyond the 

 transverse cubital. Radial cellule short, not reaching to the middle of the 

 apical margin of the wing ; stigma wide, triangular. Cubitus and discoidal 

 nervures obsolete ; transverse median nervure interstitial ; 2nd discoidal cdlule 

 at the base about one-fourth of the width of the apex. Apical r.ervures in 

 hindwings obsolete. Metathoracic spiracles round. Metanotum completely 

 areolated ; the areola twice longer than wide, the base narrowed to a point, 

 the apex transverse. Apex of clypeus rounded ; it is indistinctly separated 

 from the face in the middle ; distinctly laterally by an oblique furrow- Meso- 

 pleurre with a crenulated furrow above the middle. Abdomen not strongly 

 compressed, stout ; the petiole long, its basal third narrowed, the apical part 

 dilated ; it is smooth and has an elongated ovipositor. Eyes bare, large ; malar 

 space as long as *he antepnal scape Claws simple. Basal joint of hind tarsi 

 about as long as the following 3 united. 



There are i> arere on the metanotum in 3 rows, besides the spiracular, 

 which is not closed on the outer side ; the petiolar is twice longer than the 

 width at the base ; it is narrowed to a point at the arex. Fore tarsi twice the 

 le 'gth of the tibia). Head transverse, narrowed behind ; wider than long. 

 There is no malar furrow. The areola of metathorax is closed all round. 



In the A.shmeadian-Foersterian system this genus would come near Zoporus, 

 which has the claws toothed. The absence of the apical nervures in both 

 wings, the short radial cellule, long abdominal peticle sharply narrowed 

 at the base and transverse head, with short temples are probably characteristic 

 points of distinction. 



Pauroleosis flavus, sp. nov. 

 Pallid yellow, a conical mark in the depression above each antenna, 3 large 

 lines on the mesonotum, the larger being the central, a transveise mark on the 

 base of the scutellum, a line round its sides and apex, a line, dilated in the 

 middle, on the bass of the metanotum, a transverse mark at the top of the 

 mesopleural furrow, a longer at the lower part ; 2 marks, above and below, on 

 the base of the prothorax and the greater part of the meso« ai>d metasternum
