NSW SPECIES OF INDIAN HYMENOPTERA. 85 



transversely striate, no furrow on second ventral segment, intermediate 

 and posterior tarsi black, except at base ; both wings hyaline, iufuscated 

 at apex. 



The three speoies— P. brutus, horatius^ and cassius — herein described 

 have a strong superficial resemblance, but in my opinion and that of 

 Mr. Cameron they are distinct. They would come into Bingham's 

 Key as follows : — 

 A. c. d\ 



cC Apex of scutellum incised in the middle horatms. 



If Apex of SGutellum not incised brutus. 



a^ First cubital cellule more than twice the length of 



Second ; median segment not transversely striate, brutus. 

 h^ First cubital cellule not twice the length of second ; 



median segment transversely striate , cassius. 



Ceropales judicatrix, n. sp. 

 $ $ Vertex of head and mesonotum somewhat sparsely punctured, 

 median segment and abdomen slightly pruiuose ; clypeus very slightly 

 concave at apex, the sides rounded ; head considerably wider than 

 thorax, prouotum anteriorly with two lateral tubercles ; scutellum and 

 postsGutellum very much raised, median segment compressed above, 

 rather wider at apex than at base, steeply sloped, with a deep median 

 longitudinal groove, tlie apex of the segment roundly truncate ; 

 posterior legs remarkably long, the apex of the femora reaching as far 

 as the apex of the abdomen ; eyes distinctly emarginate. Black ; the 

 labrum, clypeus and face below the base of anteunge, the scape and first 

 joint of the flagellum below, the emarginations of the eyes, the tuber- 

 cles, the posterior margin of the pronotum, apical margin of scutellum, 

 the postscutellum, irregular apical bands, more or less medially inter- 

 rupted, on abdominal segments 1 — 4, and the apical abdominal segment 

 pale yellowish white ; first and second abdominal segments except at 

 apex, and the legs, rod, the latter with a few pale yellowish white 

 markings ; antennte dark red below ; wings hyaline, with a very 

 slight fuscous or flavo-fuscous tinge at apex ; tegulce red, with a yellow 

 spot, nervures black, reddish at base.

 Habitat : Deesa. 

 : This species would come after C. Claripenm's in Bingham's Key.
