hyaline, broadly fuseescent at apex ; the basal two segments of the 

 abdomen and the basal half of the 3rd segment above ferrugi- 

 nous red; the remaining segments black, the apical segment with 

 stiff fulvous hairs ; beneath, only the 1st and basal half of the 

 2nd segment are red, the rest of the abdomen being black studded 

 with scanty fulvous hairs.

Sah. North-West Provinces, India. 



B-esembles Salius J'uno, Cameron, with the type of which in 

 Mr. Eothney's collection I have compared it ; but, apart from 

 the great difference in size and in the colour of the abdomen, the 

 clypeus in this species has the anterior margin transverse, almost 

 truncate in the middle ; in *S'. Juno it is rounded : the median 

 segment in *S^. Juno is long and gradually rounded to the apex, in 

 S. valentulus it is short with the apex truncate. 



Salius tereenus, sp. nov. (Pi. XTX. fig. 8, 2 ■) 



2 . Head and thorax pruinose, median segment finely trans- 

 versely striated, abdomen finely aciculate ; clypeus lar^e, its 

 anterior margin boldly arched and fringed with long hairs, the 

 posterior transverse ; scutellum and postscutellum laterally com- 

 pressed and very prominent, the former longitudinally and the 

 latter obliquely striated on the sides ; median segment with a very 

 steep slope to the apex, scarcely rounded above, somewhat com- 

 pressed at the sides ; legs long, the tibiae and tarsi strongly 

 spinose, the posterior tibiae serrated ; abdomen petiolate, the 2nd 

 ventral segment with a well-marked transverse furrow. Dull red; 

 the clypeus, the face in front, and the pro- and mesonotum with 

 dense golden pile, very brilHant and glittering in certain lights ; 

 median segment shaded with fuscous black ; abdomen with the 

 base of the 1st and apex of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd segments 

 broadly black, the black not continued as bands on the underside ; 

 the wings a pale oily brown, hyaline, and in certain lights 

 iridescent ; a faint fuscous cloud occupies the 2nd and 3rd cubital 

 and upper part of the 2nd discoidal cells. 



c? similar, but the wings have a larger faint fuscous cloud at 

 apex beyond the 2nd cubital cell.
