 pronotum with arcuate yellow band connecting anterior corners and discal carina, 

 interspaces of punctures sublaterally conspicuous, smooth; scutellum with yellow

 (Text-figs 195, 201); yellow pattern different, pronotum with less distinct inter- 

 spaces; first tergite less coarsely punctured ...... 43 



Body with conspicuous white pilosity which is particularly dense and long dorsally 

 on first tergite in 9 (Text-fig. 194), in some views covering surface, posteriorly 

 on gaster consisting of longer and shorter hairs; in both sexes frons with extremely 

 dense silvery hairs; first tergite in $ anteriorly steeply raised, ovipositorial furrow 

 narrowing anteriorly; wings dark, with violaceous tinge; pale pattern very variable 



guzeratensis Wcstwood (p. 182) 



Body less conspicuously pubescent, first tergite in $ with much shorter hairs and

Hind femur basally with lunate yellow band (Text-fig. 201; as in japonica); wings 

 very dark, violaceous; first tergite densely coarsely punctured, carinate margin 

 of ovipositorial furrow anteriorly rather low; deep fovea at anterior edge of 

 mesopleura below prepectus 6-7 times as long as broad; femora mainly black 



femoricincta sp. n. (p. 184) 



Hind femur only ventro-basally yellow; wings brownish, without conspicuous 

 violaceous tint; first tergite much less coarsely although densely punctured, 

 margins of ovipositorial furrow anteriorly unusually raised; deep fovea below 

 prepectus broader, shorter; mid femur bright red but fore and hind femur mainly 

 black ............. 45 



Fore wing with distinct darker macula at apex; transverse spot on pronotum 

 linear, narrow (Text -fig. 206); reflexed part of epipygium in $ in dorsal view 

 longer than fifth tergite medially, this tergite black or with narrow yellow band; 

 body at least 10-5 mm ...... robusta Weld (p. 185) 



Fore wing nearly regularly infumate; transverse spot on pronotum angulately 

 produced forward, posteriorly emarginate; epipygium of $ in dorsal view about 

 as long as fifth tergite medially, this tergite with broader band ; 9 mm

Gaster (in $) bright red ; pronotum anteriorly with 2 small yellow lines converging 

 forward; ocelli unusually small, set deep below interocellar and occipital carinae 

 (Text-fig. 200); hind coxa in depression densely punctured (Text-fig. 199); wings 

 dark violaceous ; Philippines ..... ventricosa sp. n. (p. 188) 



Gaster black, sometimes with poor yellowish pattern; pronotal spots otherwise or 

 missing; ocelli not unusually small, although sometimes deep below carinae; 

 hind coxa in depression often partly impunctate ; wings sometimes otherwise . 47
