striated. The pronotum above and laterally, and the 

 tubercles are yellowish ; the mesonotum in front narrowly 

 and more or less of the mesopleurae are blackish ; the apex 

 of median segment also inclining to blackish. Abdomen 

 minutely punctured ; a large ovate macula on the sides of 

 the second segment ; the greater part of the third and 

 fourth, and the edges of the fifth, clear yellow ; the third and 

 fourth ventral segments broadly clear yellow at the sides. 

 Pygidial area punctured. The second cubital cellule is 

 very narrow at the top, not being much more than half the 

 length of the part bounded by the recurrent nervures,and a 

 little more than the space between the second recurrent and 

 the second transverse cubital nervures; the first recurrent 

 nervure is received a little beyond the middle of the cellule. 

 Legs with the tibiae and tarsi densely covered with a micro- 

 scopic white pile and stoutly spinose. 



STIZUS RUFESCENS, Smith. 



A specimen from Barrackpore is no doubt this species — at 

 least it agrees with Smith's description so far as it goes. It 

 is very closely allied to vS". orientalis ; from which, apart from 

 the difference in the coloration of the body, it may be 

 known by the eyes being wider separated, and not, or 

 hardly, converging towards the clypeus ; the ocelli are more 

 widely separated from the eyes, and not so much from each 

 other ; the radial and second and third cubital cellules are 

 occupied by a deep black cloud : the second cubital cellule 

 is wider at the top : the first recurrent nervure is received 

 before the middle : the apex of the median segment is not 

 so deeply or so widely sulcated ; and the wings have a much 

 more yellowish tinge, the nervures and base of stigma being 

 lighter, almost rufous. The length of my specimen is fully 

 one inch.
