HYMENOPTEROUS FAMILY STEPHANID^E. 785 



long as first ; third nearly as long as first and second together. 

 Neck elongate, very slender and finely transrugose above; 

 semiannular shining smooth, laterally subrugose. Mesonotum 

 lightly tr-ansrugose. Scutellum smooth and shining, with a few 

 mai-ginal punctures. Mesopleuraj polished smooth above, other- 

 wise diffusely punctate ; metapleurfe and inedian segment super- 

 ficially cribrate punctate, not separated by any sulcus. Petiole 

 slightly longer than rest of abdomen, rather shorter than hind 

 coxae, trochanters, and femora together, very finely ti'ans-striate, 

 remaining segments entirely smooth. Terebra slightly longer 

 than body, sheaths vvhite-banded before apex. Hind legs with 

 CGxte slender, finely transrugose ; femora dull, bidentate ; tibiae 

 longer than femora, compressed to beyond middle. 



Black ; head red, frons and temples pale marked, anterior legs 

 more or less brown, intermediate tibiae and tarsi white-marked. 

 "Wings hj^aline. 



c? . Similar, but more coarsely sculptured, especially on median 

 segment. 



Length 11-14 mm. 



Habitat: East India, Ceylon, Malabar, Philippines, Borneo, 

 Sumbava, Celebes. Sumatra, a specimen measuring 19 mm. 

 recorded by Dr. Dohrn, 



Enderlein (l. c.) records specimens of this species, taken by 

 Dr. Dohrn in Sumatra, having the impression on occiput more 

 distinct, neck of pronotum more coarsely transrugose, semiannular 

 transaciculate in front, basal two-thirds of second abdominal 

 segment polished smooth, remainder of abdomen dull, and hind 

 femoral teeth black. Length 19-20'5 ; terebra 21-23 mm. This 

 may prove to be a distinct species. 



" Yar. (?) $. Face finely alutaceo-rugose. Certainly a 

 different species." Szepligetti, Termes. FUz. xxv. p. 531 (1902).

2 . Frons finely coriaceo-rugose, occiput finely trans-striate ; 

 posterior margin of head slightly bordered. Second flagellar 

 joint about one and a half times as long as first ; third nearly as 

 long as first and second together. jNTeck deeply transrugose, 

 laterally finely and closely trans-striate, semiannular smooth 

 above, without trace of sculpture, laterally finely and closely 

 trans-striate, posterior angles strongly ti-ansrugose. Mesonotum 

 irregularly to transversely rugose. Scutellum smooth, laterally 

 finely aciculate with marginal punctures. Mesopleur?e rather 

 smooth, difi"usely punctate, with a central rugose and closely 

 trans-striate space. Metapleurse and median segment with large 

 cribrate punctures. Petiole very finely and closely trans-striate, 

 longer than rest of abdomen ; second segment basally rugose,
