which it originates being also black ; above the middle 

 the recurrent nervure is interrupted by a narrow hyaline 

 cloud, curved at the top and reaching near to the middle 

 of the areolet ; below this cloud is a shorter and broader 

 curved one which joins the lower part of the discoidal 

 nervure. Abdomen shining, the base and sides thickly 

 covered with fuscous to fulvous hair. The sheaths of the 

 ovipositor are black, pale at the apex, and pilose. 



Agathis forticarinata, sp. nov. 



Long. 8 mm. 



Is very similar to A. khasiana but is much smaller ; 

 the apex of the wing more deeply and widely infuscated ; 

 the areolet wider at the top ; the mesopleurae closely and 

 distinctly punctured all over, and with the furrow placed 

 higher up ; the basal central area of the median segment 

 not heart-shaped, but longer than broad and sharply trian- 

 gular at the top. 



Scape of the antennse rufous, with a broad black line 

 on the side, the flagellum black. Head entirely luteous, 

 shining ; the face obscurely, the clypeus more distinctly, 

 punctured ; closely covered with short, fuscous hair ; 

 between the antennae deeply depressed, the sides of the 

 depression largely and sharply elevated ; the front broadly, 

 but not deeply, depressed. Mesonotum strongly and 

 closely punctured, especially the middle lobe, which is 

 depressed in the centre, the middle of the depression being 

 raised. Scutellum closely punctured ; its apex carinate ; its 

 base with a wide and deep depression ; the postscutellum 

 with the sides and middle acutely carinate ; the middle 

 keel not reaching to the base. The basal central area 

 of the median segment is longer than broad, its base 

 sharply triangular, its apex transverse ; the lateral basal 

 keels wider than long ; their base on the inner side curved ;
