broadly rounded. The mandibular teeth large, of equal size, diverging. 

 Metanotum irregularly areolated in the middle, the areola open at the apex ; 

 the spiracles small, oval. First abdominal segment clearly longer than the 

 second ; the post-petiole distinctly nodose. Ovipositor longish. Claws simple. 

 Hind spurs long, nearly as long as the 2nd tarsal joint. Antennas long, longer 

 than the abdomen. Malar space distinct, not furrowed. Hind coxa? stout, 

 about two-and-a-half times longer than thick ; basal joint of hind tarsi nearly 

 as long as the following 3 united. Eyes large, parallel, not incised. 



In the arrangement of Szepligeti this genus would come near Agrypon, Foer. 

 (G-en. Ins., Iclin Ophion., p. 6). The 2 may be separated thus : — 



Spurs short ; clypens pointed, 2nd abdominal segment longer than the 1st... Agrypon. 



Spurs long, clypeus broadly rounded, 2nd abdominal segment shorter than 



the 1st ,,, Tarytia. 



Tarytia basimacula, sp. nov. 



Rufo-testaceous, the head yellow, a triangular mark covering the ocelli, the 

 base of the 1st abdominal segment, and a broad stripe down the centre of the 

 basal half of the 2nd black ; the apical segments infuscated ; legs coloured like 

 the body but paler ; mesonotum with 2 broad yellowish lines ; wiDgs hyaline, 

 the nervures and stigma dark testaceous. $ . 



Length 8 mm. ; terebra 2 mm. 



Deesa. October. 



Face and base of clypeus closely punctured, the apex of clypeus smooth. 

 Front and vertex closely puuctured, more strongly than the face ; above each 

 antenna is a longish deep fovea, the 2 distinctly separated by a broad keel. 

 Eyes large ; they have a greenish hue and do not converge above or below. 

 Ocelli large, glassy, pale coloured, placed in a triangle ; the hinder separated 

 from each other by a greater distance than they are from the eyes. Mesono- 

 tum closely punctured. Scutellum roundly convex. Metanotum rugosely punc- 

 tured ; the apical slope strongly transversely striated. Pleura? closely distinctly 

 punctured ; the base of the meso- and metapleurse with a large irregular orange- 

 yellow mark. Post petiole aciculated ; the 2nd dorsal segment closely, dis- 

 tinctly, longitudinally striated ; the base of the 3rd more weakly striated. 

 The transverse keels on the metanotum are indistinct. 



Tarytia nigromaculata, sp. nov. 

 Yellowish testaceous ; the sides of mesonotum and the back of abdomen 

 rufous ; the head and the parts bordering the black line on the mesonotum 

 lemon-yellow ; the ocellar region, 2 broad lines on the middle of front, a large 

 mark, narrowed above, on the middle of occiput, a broad line on the basal two- 

 thirds of the mesonotum, the hollows at the wings, a broad mark, contracted 

 near the base, rounded at the apex, on the basal third of the metanotum in 

 the centre, the base of the 1st abdominal segment, more than the basal half of 

 the 2nd and the base of the 3rd, black. Four front legs pale yellow ; the hinder- 

 rufous, the tibia? and tarsi darker coloured than the femora, the coxae and
