transverse line,, transverse at the base, rounded at the apex, next to the scu- 

 tellum, a transverse line, rounded at the apex, before the apex of the scutellum, 

 an obscure line at the base of the metanotum. a broad curved line on the basal 

 half of the hind coxae, nearer the outer than the inner side, a curved line on 

 the lower part of the hind femora, commencing at the middle of the basal 

 2 teeth and extending to the apex, the apices of the teeth and the under side 

 of the hind tibia? with the spurs, and distinct bands on the apices of the basal 

 4 abdominal segments and the apex of the ovipositor, black ; wings hyaline, 

 the nervures pa'e fuscous. Female. Length, 11 m.m. 



Basal femoral tooth long, thin, curved, the 2nd minute, widely separated 

 from it, the others irregular, the 3rd slightly smaller than the apical 4 which 

 are of about the same size. Apex of scutellum projecting into a leaf-like 

 plate, the apex of which is broadly roundly incised Metanotum with 2 large 

 central hexagonal areas ; a small hexagonal one on the sides at the base ; 

 there is a rounded keel at the base, at the apex of the large area? at the inner 

 sides of which, shortly bt.yond the middle, are 2 short broken keels. Abdo- 

 men not much longer than the head and thorax, the petiole not much longer 

 than wide. Basal slope of pronotum pitted with shallow punctures, the apex, 

 mesonotum, and scutellum umbilically punctate- — Propleura? smooth ; the 

 base of the mesopleura? smooth, the depressed centre closely striated, the 

 apex and the metapleuro? umbilically punctate. 



Ceratosmicra flavescem, sp. n. 

 Pallid testaceous, the face, pronotum, sutures of mesonotum, basal half 

 of scutellum and the pleura?, paler, more yellowish in tint ; the dilated pait 

 of the abdomen rufo-testaceous, wings hyaline, the nervures fuscous ; the 

 femoral teeth black, the basal bluntly triangular ; they are about 13 in 

 number, the apical closely pressed together ; there are no area on the meta- 

 notum ; it has a not very clearly defined, central keel and a curved one 

 round the apex ; on its sides is a broad keel, dilated at the apex, followed 

 by a broadly rounded tooth. Abdominal petiole more than half the length 

 of the thorax, not quite so long as the rest of the abdomen and about two- 

 thirds of the length or the hind coxa? ; abdomen as long as the thoiax. 

 Smooth, shining, sparsely covered with a white pubescence. Male. Length, 

 3 m.m. 



The middle of the antenna* reaches to the ocelli ; the apical ha!f is thicker 

 than the lower and is dilated towards the apex. 



Ceratosmicra ? variventris, sp. p. 

 Black, the antennal scape, a broad line, narrowed above and below — more 

 acutely and lonely above than below — on the inner orbits and the abdominal 

 petiole yellow ; the rest of the abdomen and the legs red, the apices of the 4 

 anterior coxa? and femora and the base of the femora in front pallid yellow, 

 the tarsi testaceous, the hind tibia? fuscous, dark testaceous on the basjl half ; 

 there are 16 or 17 shoit black femoral teeth. Abdominal petiole half the 

 length of the thorax and two-thirds of the length of the hind coxa?. Wings 

 hyaline, the ne.vures black. A stout reddish keel runs down from the lower
