ap&x of the segment has an oblique slope and is closely 

 rugosely punctured. The base of the propleurae acicu- 

 lated longitudinally, the upper part with large, deep 

 punctures ; the apex, except at the top, closely longi- 

 tudinally striated, this part being separated from the rest 

 by a curved furrow ; the lower part, under the larger 

 punctures, smooth, impunctate. Mesopleurae strongly 

 punctured, except immediately under the wings, where 

 there is a small impunctate space, separated from 

 the rest by a deep, wide, curved furrow. Legs thickly 

 covered with long, white hair ; the fore knees, tibiae and 

 tarsi more or less rufous. Wings hyaline, with a decided 

 greyish-fuscous tinge towards the apex ; the stigma black, 

 the nervures fuscous. Petiole shining, marked with 

 scattered punctures, the apex, especially in the middle, 

 almost impunctate ; the second segment punctured, except 

 in the middle towards the apex ; its base obliquely 

 depressed : the third and following segments opaque, 

 closely and strongly punctured, thickly covered with long, 

 pale fulvous hair. The ventral segments punctured, the 

 punctures becoming smaller and more numerous towards 

 the apex ; the last segment with an impunctate line down 

 the centre. 



The rufous colour on the fore legs is not a specific 

 character in this, or in the allied species, as the amount of 

 it varies considerably. The same remark applies to the 

 quantity of rufous or brownish in the colour of the 

 antennae. There is no trace of a central keel on the 

 median segment in the present species. 



TipJda tarsata Cam. and T. magretti Cam. are omitted 

 by Bingham ; so also is T. femorata Fab., a European 

 species recorded by Magretti, from Burma {Ann. Mus. 

 Civ. Genova, (2) xii., 248).
