Vertex and temples dull, coarsely rugose-punctate to rugose-reticulate ; tergite 

 1 not at all narrowed behind. Indo-oriental region . phycodis Viereck (p. 79) 



- Vertex here without such a furrow ......... 58 



58 Vertex and temples very coarsely rugose-punctate, almost thimble-punctate. 



Tergite 1 distinctly to strongly narrowed behind ; hind femur entirely dark ; 

 hind wing broad ............ 59 



- Vertex and temples without such coarse sculpture, though the surface may be a little 



dull and rugulose ........... 61 



59 Metacarp hardly four times as long as its distance from the apex of the radial cell ; 



tergite 1 less narrowed behind ; median field of tergite (2 + 3) much less sharply 

 angled laterally, angled at about 45 degrees (Text-fig. 72) ; disc of scutellum 

 highly polished, slightly more narrowed and slightly more conically raised behind ; 

 mesoscutum somewhat shiny in spite of its punctation ; median cell of fore wing 

 very sparsely setose.

 other (Text-fig. 76). Indo-oriental region . . . leptoura Cameron (p. 88) 



- Metacarp at least six times as long as its distance from the apex of the radial cell ; 



tergite 1 more strongly narrowed behind ; median field of tergite (2 4- 3) very 

 sharply angled laterally at about 30 degrees ; disc of scutellum flattened and 

 with vague punctation ; behind, less conically raised and less narrowed ; 

 mesoscutum markedly dull by reason of very dense, coarse punctation . . 60

 segment 5 yellowish. Philippines ..... orus sp. n. (p. 78) 



61 Edge of vannal lobe virtually not concave ; median field of tergite (2 + 3) distinctly 



more than half as long as the rest of the tergite.

 showing as highly polished areas ; tergite 1 short, parallel-sided. Philippines 



tulis sp. n. (p. 77) 



- Vannal lobe distinctly concave ; median field of tergite (2 + 3) not more than half as 



long as the rest of the tergite ......... 62 



62 Head unusually strongly transverse and sharply cut away behind the eyes (Text-fig.

Ovipositor sheath about one and a half times longer than the hind tibia ; ovi- 

 positor itself straight and rather thick. Pakistan . . . telon sp. n. (p. 88) 



- Head not unusually strongly transverse and not sharply cut away behind the eyes ; 



temples with distinct though not strong rugose-punctation or fine, even rugosity 



but in any case without a satin-like sheen ....... 63 



63 Ovipositor sheath about one and a half times longer than the hind tibia. 



Disc of scutellum highly polished ........ 64 



- Ovipositor sheath at most about one and one third times longer than the hind tibia 66 



64 Mesoscutum as long as broad ; tergite 1 virtually parallel-sided ; segments 16-17 °f
