Very similar to P. montanus but smaller ; the apex of the abdomen is inf us- 

 cated ; the depression on the metanotum is wider and deeper ; there is no curved 

 keel bordering the smooth apex of the metanotum ; there is a distinct stump of 

 a nervure on the disco- cubital ; there is no furrow on the top of the face ; there 

 is no transverse division between the face and clypeus. The upper bulla on 

 the recurrent nervu re is large, the lower slightly smaller ; there is a distinct 

 stump of a nervure on it. The head is for the greater part yellow ; the centre 

 of the face is not clearly separated ; the clypeus is covered with long black 

 hair, the mandibles rufous, black at the apex. The black ovipositor is longer 

 than the apical o segments of the abdomen united. Metasternal keel wide, 

 narrowed at the apex, margined, the top with a few obscui'e stria?.

EVANIIDE. 



Gasteruption Jcashmirense, sp.nov. 



Black, the base of the anterior tibise narrowly, the basal half of the middle, 

 a short line on the apex behind and a short band near the base of the hind 

 tibiae, white ; wings hyaline ; the nervures and stigma black. $ 



Length 14 m.m. 



Kashmir, 8-9,000 feet, June. 



Occiput transverse, sharply margined. Temples rounded, not quite so long as 

 the eyes. Ocelli large, placed in a curve, the hinder separated from each other 

 by a slightly greater distance than they are from the eyes. The head is opaque ; 

 the face and clypeus are densely covered with silvery pubescence. The upper 

 tooth of the mandibles piceous. Thorax opaque; the pro- and mesopleur* 

 irregularly and indistinctly reticulated ; the metapleurse, except above, widely 

 reticulated. Metanotnm deeply, irregularly reticulated. Basal half of hind 

 coxae rugosely punctured above, the apical closely transversely striated. 

 Antennal scape twice longer than wide ; the 2nd joint is not much longer than 

 wide ; the 3rd is not twice its length and not much more than half the length 

 .of the 4th. Malar space nearly as long as the 2nd and 3rd antennal joints united. 

 The 2nd cubital cellule is divided ; the lower cellule is completely closed at the 

 apex and below ; its apex is largely prolonged, almost as far as the apex of 

 the first cubital cellule. 



This species, G. haluchhtauense, Cam., and one or two undescribed Indian 

 species of Gasteruption sensit str. are to be recognized by the second discoidal 

 cellule being not only divided above, but closed below, the lower cellule in 

 most species projecting forwards to or even beyond the apex of the anterior 

 cellule. The nervures closing it may be bullated.
