 Black, the antennae, the sides of pronotum, slightly more broadly than 

 the black central part, which is somewhat narrowed at tbe base and the upper 

 third of the propleurae, the mark on the latter longer at the base and apex, 

 through the black colour of the lower part projecting upwards In the middle, 

 yellowish testaceous, the four front legs whitish testaceous, the two anterior 

 femora black entirely on the basal half ; above the black projects beyond the 

 middle, the middle femora are more broadly black, their tibiae black, except 

 at base and apex ; hind legs black, the trochanters, base and apex of tibiae 

 and the tarsi white ; wings hyp line, the stigma black, the other nervures

Bred from galls on Courida leaves. 



Head aciculated. the lower part in front from the middle of the eyes much 

 more strongly so, almost punctured. Pro-and mesonotum umbilically punc- 

 tate. Scutellum umbilically punctate at the base, the rest rather strongly 

 transversely striated. Metanotum irregularly reticulated. Pro-and meso- 

 pleurae aciculated, the raised, central part of the mesopleurae irregularly 

 striated." Metapleurae rugoselv reticulated. Abdominal petiole in fen ale 3 

 times longer than wide ; the abdomen smooth ana shining, shorter than the 

 thorax, The antennal pedicle is longer and thinner than the next four which 

 are more ovate ; the apical joints form a club. 



Prodecatoma couridtv, sp. n. 

 Yellowish testaceous, three spots, the central the larger on the occiput, 

 an irregular mark, wider than long, on the mesonotum, a longish triangular 

 spot, the narrovved end at the base, on the centre of the scutellum, a trilo-

 narrowed at the apex, black ; wings hyaline, the nervures testaceous.

 the rest of the abdomen. Antennae short, about twice the length of the width 

 of the head, thickened towards the apex, the 3rd joint thinner and longer 

 than the others, one-half longer than the 4th, which is a little longer than wide,
