DESCRIPTIONS 0]^ NEW HYMENOPTERA. 425 



The apical teeth appear to be more numerous than usual • the large 

 apical foveae are few in number and are mixed up with the numer- 

 ous smaller punctures which beset the whole of the broad apical 

 margin ; the mesopleurse are clearly separated from the pro- and meta- 

 pleurse ; on the apex is a wide furrow, which ends below in a rounded 

 projection. 



The genus Euchroeus is of small extent and has not hitherto been 

 recorded from India. It is easily known by the apex of the abdomen 

 being beset all over with numerous large and small teeth and not 

 with a few large ones as in Chrysis. This form of the apex is shown by 

 Du Buysson in Joum. Bomb., Nat. Hist. Soc, X., PI, I., f. 13. The 

 apex of the present species differs from that of the European species 

 there figured in having a gradually rounded slope, the centre not being 

 so much raised and separated from the base and apex.

Long : 8-9 m.m. 



Habitat: Simla. 



Antenofe entirely black, thickly covered with a black microscopic pile. 

 Face closely and strongly punctured and covered with silvery pubes- 

 cence ; the clypeus and mandibles yellow and smooth ; the mandibular 

 teeth blackish ; the palpi rafo-testaceous ; the front and vertex, if 

 anything, more strongly, but not quite so closely, punctured as 

 the face. Thorax shining ; above covered with silvery pubescence ; 

 the mesonotum is closely and uniformly punctured ; the scutellum 

 is closely punctured ; its lateral slope is irregularly striated ; the 

 lateral depression is closely, obliquely, irregularly striated. Post- 

 SGutellum closely punctured. Median segment areolated all over ; 

 in the centre is an elongated area reaching to the apical slope, 

 which is narrowed on the basal and longer part — the part behind 

 the transverse keel ; — the apical slope is bounded above by a 

 stout keel ; there is a longitudinal keel on the outer side, so that there is 

 thus a larger central and two smaller lateral arese ; there are two large 

 lateral areas on the basal slope ; the basal one being somewhat the 

 larger and there is a large spiracular area. The four front legs are
