Hynienoptera Orientalis. 471 



Prothorax shorter than the head ; the sides almost straight, 

 not much narrowed towards the head. Median segment 

 short, rather abruptly rounded towards the apex ; there is 

 a patch of white silvery hair on either side at the apex. 

 The thorax can hardly be said to be aciculate, and has an 

 olive tinge in parts. Abdomen longer than the head and 

 thorax united, subpetiolate ; the apical segment glabrous 

 and impunctate at the base ; the rest bearing long hairs and 

 the apex a depressed rufous stiff pile. Legs longish, the 

 hind tibiae serrate ; the long spur of the hind tibiae reaches 

 to a little beyond the basal third of the metatarsus ; the 

 legs densely covered with a silvery pile. Wings longer 

 than the body ; radial cellule elongate, narrow, lanceolate 

 at base and apex ; the second cubital cellule at top, about 

 ■one-third longer, at bottom not much longer than it ; the 

 first recurrent nervure received beyond the middle, about the 

 same distance that the second is received from the base of 

 the cellule. 



Length, 7 — 8 millim. 

 The serrated tibiae are pretty much as in Priconemis ; 

 but the transverse basal nervure is interstitial, and there is no 

 furrow at the base of abdomen beneath. The wings and 

 antennae are longer than in any other Indian species known 

 to me from autopsy.

 lateral) and two lines on it behind, yellow ; wings hyaline, 

 deeply infuscated from the base of the stigma to the apex, 

 which is pale. Eyes almost parallel ; ocelli separated from 

 each other by a somewhat greater distance than they are 

 from the eyes. Occiput transverse. Clypeus short, broad, 

 projecting a little, the apex broadly rounded. Prothorax
