This species is very closely related to P. caroli and P. halr/s, having 

 like them the wings clouded towards the apex; but the apical cloud is 

 not so deeply tinted ; it is broader, and it extends near to the first trans- 

 verse cubital nervure ; the middle cubital cellule is much shorter than 

 it is in caroli • from Jialys it may be known by the longer and narrower 

 radial cellule. 



Head transverse behind, rounded in front ; smooth and shining ; it 

 hardly projects beyond the middle behind ; the eyes are parallel and 

 hardly converge below ; the hinder ocelli are separated from each other 

 by a distinctly greater distance than they are from the eyes. The 

 apex ol the clypeus is transverse in the middle at the apex ; it is rather 

 flat, not convex to any extent. Mandibles broadly rufous in the 

 middle. The radial and cubital cellules are smoky, but not deeply; 

 the cloud also extending below the cubitus ; in the cubital cellules the 

 cloud is divided in two by a narrow hyaline band placed beyond the 

 second transverse cubital nervure. Radial cellule elongate, lanceolate 

 at the apex ; it is distinctly longer than the middle cubital cellule, 

 which is somewhat shorter than the apical abscissa of the cubitus ; 

 the basal nervure is roundly curved ; the transverse medium is about 

 interstitial. In the bind wings the anal nervure is received behind 

 the cubital. The antennas are stout ; their middle and apical joints 

 are distinctly and roundly dilated on the lower side. 



POMPILUS (Planiceps) indostanus, sp, nov. 



Niger, pruiuoso ; alis clare hyalinis. $ . 



Long : 7 m. m. 



Habitat: Deesa. 



Antennae as long as the abdomen j covered with a pale pile. Head 

 rounded in front, behind not quite transverse, being slightly rounded 

 inwardly. The eyes slightly converge above and reach close to the 

 base of the mandibles ; the head behind them is fairly well developed, 

 being there about two-thirds of the width of the eyes ; the hinder 

 ocelli are separated from each other by a distinctly greater distance 

 than they are from the eyes. The prothorax is not much longer than 

 the head. The spines on the legs are long and black. Wings clear 

 hyaline ; the radial cellule is elongate, narrow, sharply lanceolate at 

 the apex ; the middle cubital cellule is distinctly longer than it, ihe 

 transverse basal nervure is interstitial ; in the hind wings the anal 

 nervure is received distinctly behind the cubital. 



Easily known by the clear hyaline wings.
