angle on each side, postscutellum, a large horseshoe-shaped mark 

 on each side of and a spot at each basal angle of median segment, 

 an oblique band on each side of abdominal segments 1-6 near 

 apex, the spines on sides of segments and the legs, bright yellow; 

 intermediate and posterior tibise and tarsi fusco-ferruginous. 

 Wings hyaline, nervures testaceous Length 9 mm. 



Q. Head convex, broad anteriorly, rounded and narrowed to a 

 neck posteriorly, longer than broad. Pronotum rectangular, 

 longer than broad, the lateral margins elevated, the centre much 

 raised, forming a broad longitudinal carina. Mesonotum rather 

 prominent, median segment very short, obliquely truncate pos- 

 teriorly. Sides of the thorax and median segment vertical. 

 Abdomen much broader than median segment, all the segments, 

 except second and sixth, depressed on apical margin and in 

 centre, leaving a rounded raised area on each side before apex; 

 second segment with the apical margin raised forming a trans- 

 verse carina, another transverse carina near base, the intervening 

 space very finely transversely striate. Pygidium lanceolate, 

 obliquely truncate towards apex, where it is very slightly dilated. 

 The whole insect smooth and shining, without punctures. Rufo- 

 testaceous ; head, except mandibles and antenna?, the third, 

 fourth and fifth abdominal segments piceous; thorax and median 

 segments fusco-ferruginous. Length 4 mm.

<J. Clypeus short, rather broadly truncate at apex, punctured. 

 Head very closely punctured, with grey pubescence on front. 

 Thorax finely and very closely punctured, rather broad; pronotum 

 as broad as head, the anterior margin scarcely raised; scutellum 

 strongly convex, broadly truncate at apex, more sparsely punc- 

 tured. Median segment broad and short, very finely and closely 

 punctured, smooth at extreme base. Abdomen shallowly punc- 

 tured, shorter and broader than in most of the allied species; 

 segments 2-5 slightly constricted at base ; third and fourth
