broadly, a line on the sides above, scutellar keels, apex of scu- 

 tellum , post - scvitellum , a sniall spot behind the bind wings, 

 2 oblique lines bordering the apex of the large lateral areae, 

 tubercles, a line along the lower edge of the mesopleurae, dilated 

 broadly upwards and more narrowly downwards at the base, and 

 broadly and roundly upwards at the apex , the narrowed middle 

 part is narrowest at the base, an irregulär spot on eitherside of 

 the prosternum , the basal third of the 1^* abdominal segment, 

 its apex with a line broadly dilated laterally , 2 large marks, 

 narrowed on the innerside, on the apex of the 2"*^, 2 soniewhat 

 similar marks on the S^^, but with the narrowed inner part longer 

 and narrower , a line on the sides of the apical fourth of the 

 4*^ , the apical two-thirds of the 6^^ above and the 7*'^ and 8^^ 

 all round, pale yellow. Four front legs pale yellow, their femora 

 broadly black , the anterior more broadly than the middle pair, 

 the hinder legs black , with the basal two - thirds of the tibiae 

 broadly pale yellow ; the dilatation on the metatarsus reaches to 

 the base of the apical fourth and becomes gradually --.vider from 

 the base to the apex which is rounded. Wings hyaline , the 

 stigma testaceous, the nervures black. $. Length 13 mm. Kuching, 

 Borneo. January. (John H e w i 1 1.) 



Face sparsely, but distinctly punctured, the rest of the head 

 impunctate. The centre of the mesonotum is raised to near the 

 apex and is closely punctured , the sides weakly punctured , the 

 depressed apical central part smooth. Scutellum strongly , but 

 not closely punctured ; the sides keeled to the apex. Metanotum 

 strongly punctured , except the basal lateral areae , which are 

 smooth , except for some punctures on the outer side ; areola 

 small, roundly dilated towards the apex, which is curved roundly 

 inwardly ; on its sides is an elongated fovea , its base is irre- 

 gularly striated. Pleurae, except the lower part of the pro- and 

 the centre of the mesopleurae , closely punctured. Post - petiole 

 weakly striated in the centre ; the centre of the 2'^'^ segment 

 strongly, acutely striated down the middle, the central keel being 

 stronger than the others, the 3'"'^ is closely striated on the centre 

 of the basal half; the sides of the 2'"^ and 3''"^ are weakly punc- 

 tvired , the other segments are smooth. Areolet 4-angled, the 

 nervures uniting at the top, the recurrent nervure is received in 

 the middle ; there is a minute stump on the disco-cubital nervure ; 

 the transverse median nervure is received beyond the transverse 

 basal. 



Ileanta was described (2 species) from Assam. The occurrence 

 of a species of the genus in Borneo is another proof that Assam 

 belongs to the Hindo-Malay rather than to the Indian Sub-region.
