Some New Species of Hymenoptera. 327 



base slightly raised and with a large smooth space in the middle ; 

 the sides are keeled, the apex has an oblique slope. Post-scutellum 

 smooth and slightly raised in the middle. First abdominal segment 

 with the apex raised, the raised part with an oblique slope and 

 clearly separated from the base of the second ; down its centre is a 

 narrow furrow, which is less distinct in the middle and more distinct 

 at the apex than at the base. Eadial cellule sharply pointed at the 

 apex ; the second cubital cellule in front is about one-fourth of the 

 length behind and not much more than the length of the space 

 bounded by the recurrent nervures ; the second of the latter is 

 received distinctly behind the middle. 



The yellow is paler on the metanotum and on the base of the 

 abdomen than elsewhere. 



The curved furrow uniting the antennae is deep and clearly 

 denned ; above it, bordering the top of the black mark, is a /^-shaped 

 furrow, narrow, but distinct. On the top of the metanotum is a 

 broad, curved keel, its sides curving distinctly downwards ; from its 

 centre a straight keel, as long as the lateral curves, runs straight 

 down, it becoming narrowed below ; these keels are one-third of the 

 length of the metanotum, which has its sides broadly rounded ; its 

 apex is raised, roundly curved, narrowed laterally. 



The coloration of the abdomen is not unlike that of C. macro- 

 cephalus, and it has also a large head like that species. The claws 

 have a small, sharp, almost upright tooth near the base. The fine 

 punctuation of the abdomen is as in C. andrei Br., with which it 

 appears to be related in some respects.

A very pale example, the black being only on the sides and apex of 

 mesonotum, on the meso- and metapleurse, and on the sides of the 

 third and fourth abdominal segments ; the yellow marks on the 

 second abdominal segment are larger than usual ; and there is no 

 black on the legs. 



This is the species usually named B. rufipennis and B. grisetcs.
