with a carina ab the base and an oblique triangular truncation 

 at the apex. First dorsal segment with a longitudinal sulcus not 

 reaching the apex; second and third segments with a slightly 

 depressed transverse line near the base. Hypopygium broad at 

 the base, with a spine on each side, thence rather narrowly pro- 

 duced, slightly emarginate at the apex on each side of the apical 

 spine. Black; mandibles except at the apex, clypeus, interior 

 margin of the eyes, a small spot at the base of each antenna, 

 anterior margin of the pronotum and posterior margin of the 

 sides, tegulae, a small spot on the mesonotum, a large one on the 

 mesopleurae, a small spot on the centre of the scutellum and one 

 at each of the anterior angles, a very small spot on each side of 

 the median segment near the apex and coxae beneath yellow; 

 legs ferruginous, stained with fuscous on the tibiae and tarsi; 

 abdominal segments 1-4 with a broad creamy-white transverse 

 band on each side near the apical margin. Wings long, hyaline, 

 a fuscous band occupying the whole of the radial and third 

 cubital and part of the second cubital and second discoidal cells; 

 nervures fuscous. The three apical joints of the maxillary palpi 

 are slender and elongate, and there is a tuft of very long hairs 

 on the labium.

(J. Head and thorax punctured-rugose, with thin cinereous

 tured, truncate anteriorly; head rather small, a straight trans- 

 verse carina between the antennae. Antennae longer than the 

 head and thorax combined. Scutellum sparsely punctured, 

 narrowly truncate at the apex. Median segment rather long and 

 slender, delicately reticulate. Abdomen slender, subpetiolate, 

 flattened beneath, shining; segments 2-5 with a slight, impressed, 

 transverse line near the base, first segment with a short longi- 

 tudinal sulca from the base, epipygium pointed, hypopygium 

 narrowly rounded at the apex, with a short apical spine not pro-
