36 Cameron, Hymenoptera, from Greymouth, 



towards the apex. Wings hyaline, the nervures and 

 stigma dark-fuscous. 



Paniscus FOVEATUS, sp. nov. 



Long. 17-18 mm. 



A larger species than P. ephippiatus ; may be known 

 from it by the absence of black on the vertex and thorax, 

 and by the form of the post-scutellum, which is much 

 more convex, has the sides distinctly keeled, and is deeply 

 depressed at the base, the depression being almost bifurcate, 

 through the centre being raised. 



The flagellum of the antennae infuscated ; the face 

 and clypeus pallid-yellow; the face more closely punctured 

 than the clypeus ; the tips of the mandibles black. 

 Mesonotum shagreened ; the scutellum closely punctured, 

 much narrowed towards the apex ; the post-scutellum 

 rugosely punctured, the sides at the base (bordering the 

 depression) sharply keeled. Median segment coarsely 

 transversely striated, at its base in the centre is a wide, 

 curved, deep furrow as in P. ephippiatus. The propleurae 

 obscurely obliquely striated ; the apex closely punctured ; 

 the mesopleurae closely, but not strongly, punctured ; the 

 metapleurse behind the spiracles finely punctured, the 

 rest much more coarsely punctured, on the lower side 

 almost longitudinally striolated, the lower part of the 

 mesopleurae is not depressed as it is in P. ephippiatus. 

 Wings hyaline, the nervures blackish, the stigma fuscous. 

 The abdomen is uniformly luteous, the apex not being 

 darkened ; the sides of the petiole at the base widely 

 excavated.
