central bordered area has, at the top, two or three stout 

 transverse keels; the apex is smooth. Pro- and meso- 

 pleurse smooth ; the apical furrow on the mesopleurae 

 crenulated ; the apex on the lower side obscurely obliquely- 

 striated. Down the middle of the metapleurae is a curved 

 keel, the lower edge bordered by a much stouter and 

 sharper one ; the space between them bearing some stout, 

 slightly oblique keels; the apical part above this has 

 similar keels but stouter and more distinct. Legs uniformly 

 coloured and thicky pilose. Wings hyaline ; the bare 

 space on the base of the cubital cellule with one large 

 horny point, which is sharply dilated on the lower side at 

 the base and apex ; the third segment of the abdomen is 

 black, except on the lower third ; the three apical seg- 

 ments are entirely black ; the fourth segment is of a paler 

 colour than the basal. 



ENICOSPILUS STRIATUS, Sp. 710V. 



Flavus; alls hyalinis, stigniate fulvo ; metanoto striato. 

 ■ Long. 16 mm. 

 This species may be known from E. reticulatus by 

 being smaller, by the thorax and abdomen being devoid 

 of black, by the scutellum not being distinctly narrowed 

 towards the apex, not longitudinally striated, and more 

 distinctly keeled laterally and by the transverse median 

 nervure not being united to the transverse basal, but 

 received distinctly behind it. The Ceylonese E. ceyloniciis 

 Cam. comes near to it, but may be known by the median 

 segment being only coarsely shagreened, not striated, 

 and by there being four horny spots in the fore wings, 

 instead of one only as in the present species. 



Face closely punctured, the depression below the 

 antennae in the middle ending in a shining, blackish 

 tubercle ; the tips of the mandibles broadly black, Meso-
