HYMENOPTEROUS FAMILY STEPHANID^E. 797 



ceous. Wings hyaline, strongly iridescent throughout, nervures 

 black. 



Length 15mm,; abdomen 10mm.; petiole 5 mm.; terebra 

 22 mm. 



Habitat: Dehra Dun, India. Nov. 1907; Lt.-Ool. F. W. Thom- 

 son, I. M.S. 



The sharpl}^- defined red colour on the frons, including just the 

 front half of the anterior tubercle, is unusual. May be distin- 

 guished from F. longicauda Elliott by the striate occiput, smooth 

 neck of pronotum, and bordered posterior margin of head. 



A male, tentatively placed with this female, differs in the finer 

 sculpture of the head and striate metapleurse. The base of the 

 antennae and the head are testaceous, with the vertex and part of 

 occiput black. A very slender insect. 



Length 11 mm. ; abdomen 7 mm. ; petiole 4 mm. 



Habitat: Kangra Valley, 4000 ft. July 1889; Dudgeon.
