'liavis ; alls hyalinis, apiee infuscatis ; clypeo lamina subporrecta, apicali, 

 .emarginata, sub lamina angulariter inciso ; mesopleuris hand tuberculatis ; 

 segmento median© area basali punctata ; segmento ventrali secundo area 

 basali elevata. 



(^ . Feminte similis ; segmento dorsali secundo nigro ; clypeo apice 

 rotundato ; pilis flavis eiliato. 



Long, c? $ , 7 mm. 



2 . Olypeus flattened, the lamina slightly porrect at the apex, shallowly 

 and very widely emai-ginate, the apical margin below the lamina deeply 

 ■incised. Antennte inserted about one-quarter further from the anterior 

 ■ocellus than from the base of the clypeus; the second and third joints of 

 the flagellum of equal length. Eyes parallel ; jjosterior ocelli further from 

 the eyes than from each other. First abdominal segment longer than 

 broad, second ventral segment with a raised area at the base ; pygidial 

 .tirea narrow, tw^o-and-a-half times as long as the greatest breadth, slightly 

 narrowed to the apex. Closely and rather deeply punctured, most coarsely 

 ■*m the thorax ; the enclosed space at the base of the median segment 

 punctured. 



(^ . Olypeus rounded at the apex and fringed with yellow hairs ; first 

 abdominal segment a little longer than in the female, more than half as 

 long again as broad, pygidial area small, a little longer than broad. 



Habitfit .—bengal ; Barrackpore, Xuddea (Rothnei/). 



I doubt if Bingham's records of this species from Western and North- 

 western India are correct. 



Cfrceris opulenta sp. n. 



5. Nigra; mandibulis basi, clypeo, fronte, scapo, pronoto, tegulis 

 ficutello, postscutello, segmento abdominali secundo dimidio basali, tertio 

 quintoque totis, pedibusque flavis ; segmento primo rufo-f errugineo ; flagello 

 f usco-ferrugineo ; alis hyalinis, apica infuscatis, veuis fuscis ; clypeo lato, 

 iipice leviter porrecto, subemarginato ; mesopleuris hand tuberculatis ; 

 segmento mediano area basali subnitida, in angulis striata ; segmento 

 ventrali secundo area basali elevata. 



Long. 8 mm. 



9 . Clypeus twice as broad at the apex as long, the apical margin 

 widely and shallowly emarginate and slightly porrect. Antennse inserted 

 about half as far again from the anterior ocellus as from the base of the 

 olypeus ; the second and third joints of the flagellum almost equal in 

 length. Eyes parallel, the posterior ocelli almost as far from each other 

 SIS from the eyes. Pronotiim not depressed in the middle ; mesopleuraj 

 without tubercles. First abdominal segment distinctly longer than broad ; 

 •second ventral segment with a raised area at the base. Pygidial area 

 gradually narrowed from the base, punctured, narrowly truncate at the
