10. Myermo annulipes sp. nov. cf. 



Black 5 the face, clypeus, the orbits — the lower half of 

 the outer broadly — , a liue on the pronotum, the tubercles, 

 the lower half of the rnesopleurae, a mark below the hind 

 wings, the apical half of the metapleurae, 2 lines on the 

 mesonoturn, the sides of the scutellum broadly, 2 oblique 

 marks on the median segment, extendiug obliquely from near 

 the top of the posterior median area on to the spiracular, 

 becoming wider as they do so, the apex of the pétiole and 

 a large mark on the sides of the 2 n d ? 3rd , 4th a nd 5th abdo- 

 minal segments, whitish-yellow. The 4 anterior legs are white 

 in front, with the tarsi black; the hinder legs black, with 

 the trochanters, a broad band on the base of the tibiae 

 extendiug from near the base to shortly beyond the middle. 

 Wings hyaline, the apex slightly smoky, the nervures and 

 stigma black. — Length 13 mm. 



Hab. Darjeeliug. 



Face and top of clypeus punctured, but not closely, the 

 front smooth and shining, the vertex more opaque. Meso- 

 thorax closely, but not very strougly, punctured; the scutellum 

 more closely than the mesonotum; the median segment is 

 more closely and strougly punctured; the base and the areola 

 smooth and shiniug; the areola small, depressed, distinctly 

 wider than long; its base rounded bluntly, its apex more 

 deeply backwards ; the posterior median area is closely trans- 

 versely rugosely punctured, the lateral areae stoutly trans- 

 versely striated. Pétiole smooth ; the post-petiole stoutly 

 longitudinally striated in the centre; the 2&d to 4tli abdominal 

 segments punctured; the 2ud au d 3 r( l striated at the base; 

 the gastrocoeli deep, their base striated irregularly. 



This species may be known by the small smooth areola, 

 by the transversely closely rugose posterior median area and 

 by the rnesopleurae beiug broadly yellow, as well as the sides 

 of the sternum. The flagellum of the antennae is entirely 

 black; the scape is yellow below. 



11. Metopius rufus sp. nov. Q. 



Rufous; the face, palpi, the apical half of the scutellum, 

 the post-scutellum, the apical three fourths of the Ist abdo- 

 minal segment, about the apical third of the 2 n d, almost the 

 apical half of the 3*4 and the apical two thirds of the 4th, 

 orange-yellow ; the base of the basai 4 segments black, the 

 black on the 4th followed by a narrow rufous band; the other 

 segments black, followed by a rufous band and with the 

 apices narrowly yellow; wings hyaline; there is a cloud on
