 of their tarsal joints black ; the apical third of the hinder tibiae and the

Long : 7 m.m. 



Habitat : Simla. 



Antennae as long as the abdomen, distinctly tapering towards the 

 apex ; the third, fourth and fifth joints with their apices sharply pro- 

 duced on the upper side ; the basal two joints covered with stiff black hair. 

 Head smooth and shining, thickly covered with short black pubescence ; 

 the frontal area flat ; transverse behind and in the middle in front ; the 

 sides at the apex obliquely narrowed ; before the ocelli is a curved 

 shallow furrow ; the antennal area is continuous with it ; is raised, flat 

 above, its apex triangular. The apex of the clypeus is roundly incised ; 

 the labrum is slightly depressed in the middle. Thorax and abdomen 

 smooth and shining, covered with a short black pile ; the cerci are 

 moderately large, shortly pilose and widely separated ; the blotch is 

 indistinct. Wings hyaline, with a slight fuscous tinge ; the stigma and 

 nervures are deep black ; the recurrent nervures are received shortly 

 behind the middle of the cellules. 



Belongs probably, like the other species here described, to PriopJio- 

 rus. It may be known from Nigricans by being larger, by the tibise 

 being pure white, by the curved farrow in front of the eyes, by the 

 antennal tubercle not being so deeply hollowed, by the clypeus being 

 more deeply incised, and by the clearer, more hyaline wings.

Antennse as long as the abdomen, tapering towards the apex and 

 thickly covered with stiff black pubescence ; the basal joints of the 

 flagellum not produced at the apices. Head smooth and shining j the 

 frontal area not clearly defined ; there is a short fovea — longer than 

 broad — in front of the ocelli ; the antennal fovea is distinctly, but not 

 very deeply, depressed at the apex ; the antennal tubercle is large, tri-
