NEW AND LITTLE-KNOWN SPECIES OF 205 



INDO-MALATAN HYMENOPTERA. 



towards the inner angle, with a central small round opaque spot ; 

 in the forewing the tranverse medial nervure rises well before the apex 

 of the 1st submedial cell, and the 1st recurrent nervure is interstitial 

 with the 2nd transverse cubital nervure, which latter is curved outwards; 

 in the hindwing the cubital nervure rises with an abrupt curve 

 inwards well before the apex of the anal cell ; legs reddish-yellow, the 

 coxae, trochanters, and basal half of the femora black and shining, the 

 intermediate and posterior tibige thickly spinsd, serrated and grooved, 

 the tibial caicaria short and stout, the claws dusky black with two teeth 

 on their inferior edges. Abdomen Hack and shining, subpetiolate, the 

 apical segment thickly pubescent above, and studded with stiff black 

 hairs, the 2nd segment with a well marked transverse furrow at its 

 base below. 



$. Differs from the 9 in the clypeus and the face in front, a 

 band on the posterior margin of the prothorax and the top of the 

 mesothorax and scutellum, with the coxse, trochanters, and femora of 

 the legs being yellow instead of black, and in the specimen under 

 observation, the complete absence of any silvery pile on the thorax 

 above. 



Two specimens of this well marked and distinct species I owe to the 

 kindness of Hofrath Dr. L. Martin, who procured them in the North- 

 East of Sumatra, I may note that I had some hesitation in assigning 

 the $ specimen figured and described to this species ; but after a very 

 careful comparison with the known males of other allied species, I 

 have come to the conclusion, with some doubt still, that the two 

 specimens described above are the $ and 9 of one species.
