end at the apex, the apical two-thirds of the scutellum, the metanotal spines, an oblique, 

 pyriform mark on the centre of the mesopleurae below the wings, the broad end above, a 

 smaller, squarish mark below the hind wings, an irregularly oval large mark on the apex of 

 the metapleurae, a band, narrowed in the middle, on the apex of the basai 4 abdominal seg- 

 ments, a very narrow Une on the apex of the 6 lh and almost the apical two-thirds of the 

 7 th , pale yellow. The 4 anterior coxae and trochanters pale yellow, the rest of the four front 

 legs pale yellow, largely tinged with fuscous ; hind coxae black, with a large yellow mark 

 on the base above, the basai joint of the trochanters yellow, the apical black, the femora 

 black, largely streaked with yellow on the outer and innersides, the tibiae black, with a yellow, 

 narrow band near the base, the tarsi, yellow, the metatarsus black to near the middle. Wings 

 hyaline, the nervures and stigma black. Ç>. 



Length 12 mm.; terebra 5 mm. 



Upper part of face irregularly, transversely striated, the lower finely, sparsely punctured. 

 Front and vertex almost smooth, except for some fine striae on eitherside of the keel. Pro- 

 and mesothorax smooth, except for striated bands on the centre and apex of the propleurae 

 behind the keel on the meso- and at the apex of the furrow. The base of the metanotum 

 to the keel smooth, the rest of it irregularly transversely striated, the apex in the centre 

 almost smooth. The spines are as long as their width at the base. Metapleurae strongly, 

 irregularly obliquely striated. Abdomen smooth. Legs long; their tarsi (especially the anterior) 

 lonçer than the tibiae.

Length 17 mm. 



Head and thorax covered with a short, white down ; the inner orbits broadly pale 

 yellow, the outer obscure yellow. Mandibles testaceous, with the teeth black. The scutellum 

 is keeled to the apex. The base of metanotum is smooth; the basai half of the apical slope 

 is irregularly longitudinally striated, almost reticulated ; the apex is irregularly transversely 

 striated ; the striae on both parts are broken considerably. Metapleurae at the base above smooth ; 

 the lower part irregularly obliquely striated ; the upper more strongly, irregularly reticulated.
