PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA OF KASHMIR. 291 



part below these becomes gradually obliquely dilated and is covered with 

 deep round fovea? ; the depressed apex on the upper half is irregularly, widely 

 striated ; the lower more strongly, closely and regularly striated. Metapleura 

 coarsely, rugosely reticulated. 



The teeth on the upper half of the hind femora are more closely pressed 

 together than the lower.

The $ has not been described ; it only differs from the $ in the antennai 

 being longer, and in the usual differences in tie abdomen. I am not certain as 

 to its exact systematic position. Nor am I certain if it will fit into any of the 

 established tribes. I believe its true position is in the Banchini. 



Paniscus montanus, sp. nov. 



Rufous, the orbits broadly, the face, clypeus and base of mandibles yellow ; 

 the wings hyaline, the costa and stigma testaceous, the nervures black. Face 

 broadly, distinctly projecting in the middle ; the upper half with a broad longi- 

 tudinal furrow ; it is separated from the clypeus by a broad, shallow furrow. 

 Apical half of mandibles black. Ocellar region black. Pro- and mesopleurse 

 closely finely punctured; the metapleursB closely obliquely striated ;thespiracnlar 

 region, except at the base, somewhat more strongly obliquely striated. The 

 depression on base of metanotum is narrow, curved, smooth ; the rest is closely 

 strongly, transversely striated ; the apical slope is smooth, at the apex, above 

 striated ; its sides bordered by a stout keel, which curves round inwardly at the 

 top. The transverse cubital nervures almost unite in front ; the 2nd is largely 

 bullated below ; it is almost interstitial with the recurrent nervure, which is 

 broadly, roundly curved outwardly, from shortly below the top. Basal half of 

 metasternal keel roundly dilated, above marked with a few keels. The stump 

 on the disco- cubital nervure is minute. $. 



Length 17 mm. 



P. longitards, Cam., from Simla is paler, more yellowish in colour, the stri- 

 ation on the metapleuras and spiracular region is much weaker and may be 

 almost obsolete, the apex of the metanotum is irregularly striated, not smooth ; 

 the face wants the longitudinal furrow.
