Parasitic Hymenopteia. 285 



an irregulär keel running to the bottom ; the rest of the 

 mesopleurae closely punctured. 



I am not sure but tbat this species may be C. amphissa 

 Walker from Nepal, but the description of it given by Walker 

 is far too slight for identification. It appears to be closely 

 allied to C. Hearseyi Kirby from the Calcutta District, but 

 that bas the hiud tibiae black for two thirds of their length. 



16. Oncochalcis deesensis sp. nov. Ç>. 



Black, the apical third of the femora, the tibiae and tarsi, 

 except a narrow black band on the base of the hinder tibiae, 

 and the tegulae, luteons, the wings clear hyaline, the nervures 

 fuscous; the apex of the scutellum broadly rounded, the fé- 

 moral teeth small, bluut. — Length 6 mm. 



Hab. Deesa (Nurse). 



Face and clypeus covered with silvery pubescence, aluta- 

 ceous, with some irregulär shiniug flat striae; the apex of 

 the clypeus with a broad shiniug band, narrowed at the sides 

 and strongly irregularly punctured in the centre. Vertex and 

 sides of front irregularly rugosely punctured. Apex of inau- 

 dibles dark ru fous; the right inaudibles with 3 short teeth, 

 the left with 2, the inner being much the larger. Pronotum 

 more closely and finely punctured than the mesonotum, which 

 has the middle lobe more strongly and less closely than the 

 lateral. Scutellum coarsely and closely punctured — more 

 strongly than the mesonotum; its apex thickly covered with 

 longish white hair; its apex with a stout rounded distinct 

 border, which is smooth in the centre, rough on the sides. 

 Metanotum coarsely reticulated ; the base with a row of large 

 areae; the central 2 of which are the larger and obliquely 

 narrowed on the innerside at the apex. Propleurae closely 

 rugose; the base of the meso- shiniug, smooth, with a row of 

 large, roundish foveae at the base; the depressed part irre- 

 gularly striated in the centre; the rest closely rugose and 

 covered with white pubescence. Metapleurae coarsely, irre- 

 gularly reticulated. Fémoral teeth small, bluntly rounded, 

 almost hid by white pubescence.
