extending to the apex, by the abdominal yellow lines being broader, occupying 

 the half of the segment, and continuous throughout. The basal abdominal line 

 may be absent. 



Ceratina curvilineata, sp. nov. 



Viridis, abdomine flavo, nigro balteatus ; clypeo, mandibulis, linea late 

 pronoti, scutello, post-scutello pedibusque pallide flavis ; alis hyalinis, costa 

 nervisque pallide flavis. $ 



Length 3 '5 mm. 



Habitat. — Deesa. 



The scape of the antennae bright yellow ; the flagellum light brownish, 

 darker on the top. Head greenish-black ; the lower part of the face in the 

 centre, the mark transverse below, rounded above, a mark on either side, 

 longer than broad, transverse above, gradually narrowed below, the clypeus 

 and the mandibles pale lemon- yellow ; the apex of the mandibles rufous with 

 the teeth black ; the head is sparsely punctured and covered with white down ; 

 the oral region is fringed with long white hair. Thorax dark metallic blue- 

 green and thickly covered with white hair ; the upper edge of the prothorax 

 broadly, the lower more narrowly ; the scutellum, post-scutellum, a curved 

 transverse line between the two and extending to the wings and the sides and 

 base of the tegulae broadly, lemon-yellow. The mesonotum is closely and 

 uniformly punctured and has brassy tints ; the scutellums are impunctate ; 

 the post-scutellum is covered with long white hair. The median segment is 

 furrowed in the middle ; it is more strongly punctured than the mesonotum • 

 on the basal region it bears curved stria?. Wings clear hyaline ; the stigma 

 and nervures are pale ; both the recurrent nervures are almost interstitial. The 

 coxae and femora are lemon-yellow like the body ; the tibiae and tarsi are paler 

 and are thickly covered with long white hair ; the hinder tibise are broadly 

 black on the outer side, and there is a shorter black mark on the outer side of the 

 metatarsus. Abdomen pale lemon-yellow ; the basal two segments are banded 

 with black on their apices ; the black lines being narrowed at the sides ; the 

 }rd and 4th segments have narrower interrupted black lines ; the abdominal 

 legments are broadly brownish-black. 



Nomia fulvinerva, sp. nov. 



Black: the tarsi and the 4 posterior tibiae fuscous and thickly covered with 

 pale fulvous hair ; the wings hyaline, only very slightly infuscated at the 

 npex ; the stigma and nervures testaceous, the stigma darker in tint than the 

 nervures ; the vertex smooth and shining on the outer side of the ocelli ; the 

 vertex is raised above the level of the inner side of ocelli ; the abdominal 

 segments broadly banded on the apex with pale fulvous pubescence. 9 



Length 9 mm. 



Habitat. — Deesa. 



Antennae black ; the apical two joints rufous beneath ; the scape sparsely 



overed with pale hair ; the flagellum lxore thickly with a microscopic pile. 



The vertex is distinctly and strongly, but not very closely punctured on either
