behind ; the base on lower side curved, distinctly 

 margined ; the apex strongly crenulated ; in front of the 

 middle coxae is a short, oblique furrow ; the metapleurse 

 coarsely aciculated ; at the base, below the spiracles, is a 

 short depression. On either side of the postscutellum is a 

 round fovea, clearly margined ; the part on either side of 

 the postscutellum is longitudinally striated. The base of 

 the median segment is raised and sharply separated from 

 the postscutellum ; the segment itself is coarsely sha- 

 greened ; the curved keel is widely separated from the 

 base, and, behind it, is an interrupted, longitudinal one ; 

 the keel bordering the apex is indistinct at the top. Legs 

 rufous ; the four anterior coxae and trochanters pale 

 yellow ; the hinder coxae and the basal joint of the 

 trochanters above, black ; the hinder tarsi infuscated. 

 Wings clear hyaline ; the stigma fuscous ; the nervures 

 paler ; the areolet small, shortly appendiculated ; the 

 lower half of the second transverse cubital nervure largely 

 bullated, almost obliterated ; the recurrent nervure is 

 largely bullated above and is received in the apical third 

 of the areolet. The petiole and the upper side of the 

 second segment, except the apex, black ; the ventral 

 surface yellow ; the sheaths of the ovipositor black. 



This species is nearly related to L. indica, which differs 

 from it in being larger; in having the four anterior coxae 

 black, except at the apex ; in the second segment being 

 without black ; in the apex of the median segment not 

 being bordered by a keel ; in the areolet being more 

 distinctly appendiculated, &c.
