DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW H7MEN0PTERA. 447 



Long : 7-8 m.m . 



Habitat : Simla. 



Antennse 10-jointed, the third twice the length of the fourth, 

 the terminal joint twice the length of the preceding. Head 

 black, below the antennas pale-luteous ; the front and vertex are 

 without distinct furrows or depressions. Mandibles black at the 

 apex. Thorax bright luteous ; the mesonotum thickly covered with 

 depressed fulvous pubescence ; the depressions at the sides of the 

 scutellnm, the metanotum, the base of the abdomen and six broad black 

 marks on either side of the abdomen — two on each segment, except on 

 the posterior two — black, the pleurse under the hinder wings being 

 also broadly black. Wings smoky hyaline, paler towards the apex ; 

 extreme base yellowish. The apices of the four posterior femora, the 

 apices of all the tarsi and the apices of the tarsal joints, broadly black. 



The transverse cubital nervures are more widely separated than in 

 A. antennata ; the second cubital cellule is not so much narrowed 

 towards the apex and the wings are not so broadly yellow at the 

 base. 



In the $ the black marks on the abdomen are much reduced in 

 size.
