MOXOGIIAFH OF THE WASPS OF BRmSH INDIA. 497 



1 consider that C. lepcha Cam. will probably prove to be male, but do not 

 think the evidence is sufficient to place them together. If my surmise is 

 ■correct, it is probable that hadmacula Cam. which is nearly allied to lepcJia, 

 would be the male of pentadonta,

S ■ Niger ; clypeo, margine interiore oculorum, segmento mediano macu- 

 la apicali utrinque, segmento abdominali secundo basi', trochanteribusque 

 pallide fiavis ; pronoto utrinque, tegulis, scutello macula iitrinque, post- 

 scutello, segmentisque dorsalibus tertio quintoque f ere totis flavo-ochraceis; 

 alis subhyalinis, apice leviter inf umatis ; clypeo apice truucato ; mesopleu- 

 ris haud tuberculatis ; segmento mediano area basali subnitida, minutis- 

 snne punctata ; segmento abdominali primo latitudine triplo longiore ; 

 segmento ventrali secundo area basali elavata nulla; 



Long. 7 mm. 



S. Clypeus nearly as broad as long, truncate at the apex.. First 

 abdominal segment very slender, three times as long as broad ; pygidial 

 ares^ twice as broad at the base as at the apex. Rather finely and sparse- 

 ly punctured, more closely and coarsely on the abdomen than on the 

 thorax or median segment. 



Habitat— Khasi Hills, o,000 ft. April {Turner). 



As mentioned above, I think this will prove to be the male latibalteata 

 Cam.

S . '' Black ; a mark on the centre of the clypeus (obliquely narr owed 

 above and below, a broad line on its apex, a broad line on the inner 

 orbits from the antennte, two large oblique marks on the apex of the 

 metanotum (extending on to the pleurte), the basal third of the abdominal 

 petiole on the sides, more than the basal third of the second segment, and 

 narrow lines on the apices of the fourth and fifth segments, yellow ; the 

 sides of the central and lower parts of the clypeus, prothorax, scutellums 

 more than the apical third of the second and third abdominal segments, 

 a line behind the yellow on the fourth and fifth, and the apical two 

 segments entirely dark rufous ; the apex of the first segment of a paler 

 rufous colour. Four front legs pale rafo-testaceous ; the tibite and base of 

 tarsi yellow ; the hind legs similarly but much darker coloured. Wings 

 hyaline, the radial cellule smoky, the apical cubital cellule of a deeper 

 smoky colour ; the costa and stigma dark testaceous, the nervures black.
