NEW SPECIES OF INDIAN SYMENOPTERA. 91 



first abdominal segment much narrower than the second segment. 

 Black ; the clypeus and scape of the antennee in front light yellowish 

 red, all the tibia and tarsi more or less light red ; two spots on the 

 pronotum, and a narrow apical line on each abdominal segment darker 

 red, or reddish testaceous ; wings subfuscous, nervures and tegulse 

 black. 



Length (to end of second abdominal segment) 8 ; exp. 18 mm. 



Habitat : Simla. 



Next to 0. punctum (Fabr.) 



Odyneeus punjabensis, n. sp. 



(J Head, thorax, and abdomen closely punctured, the punctures on 

 the second and (probably following) segments much shallower than those 

 on the remainder of the body ; clypeus very deeply emarginate 

 anteriorly, the projections on each side of the emargination form- 

 ing blunt teeth ; antennae set in deep hollows ; thorax rounded 

 anteriorly, pronotum with a median groove, median segment with 

 a deep A shaped hollow, the sides rounded ; first abdominal seg- 

 ment much narrowed. Yellow ; the vertex of the head, the meso- 

 notum, epimeron, a broad line dividing the scutellum from the post- 

 soutellum, a narrow line dividing the latter from the median seg- 

 ment, the A shaped hollow, a subapical broad line on first abdo- 

 minal segment, the base and a median transverse band on the second 

 segment, the latter continued below, black; (the remaining abdominal 

 segments are withdrawn into the second in the type specimen, and 

 therefore cannot be fully described, their apices are yellow, the 

 apical segment being entirely black) ; flagellum of antennae black 

 above, red below : posterior femora red, except at apex ; wings 

 hyaline, a faint fuscous cloud in radial cell, tegulse yellow, nervures 

 black. 



Length (to end of second abdominal segment) 5; exp. 11 

 mm. 



Near to 0. fistulosus (Saauss.) but a much smaller species. 



Habitat : Ferozepore. 



In describing the Eumenidse I have followed Bingham in giving 

 the measurements to the end of second abdominal segment only, the 

 remaining segments being generally withdrawn telescopicaily into the 

 second segment after death.
