than wide ; the tubercles prominent ; the base of scape incised 

 on the outer side to near the middle. Parapsidal furrows dis- 

 tinct: the middle lobe of mesonotum not much raised. Apex of 

 metanotum with longish narrow foveas, bounded by raised 

 keels ; its centre with a fovea. First abdominal segment from 

 near the basal depression stoutly, closely, longitudinally striated ; 

 the lateral furrows stoutly, closely transversely striated ; 2nd seg- 

 ment closely, stoutly striated ; a keel runs from the lateral 

 basal plates to near the apex ; the space on either side of it

 smooth , the rest closely, not very strongly, striated the centre 

 of the base laterally being smooth ; there are no distinct oblique 

 furrows on the 2nd. and 3rd. segments ; the suturiform articula- 

 tion is closely striated. Sheaths of ovipositor broad, densely 

 pilose. The legs are thickly pilose, but not so densely as the 

 ovipositor's sheath. 



d. Lateous, the apical segments of abdomen black, the 2nd. and

 hyaline at the base. 



Iphiaulax zaraces, sp. nov. 



Luteous, antennse, front broadly in the centre, the mark 

 continued on to the ocellar region and becoming united to a

 and extends half way down the outer orbits and on to the oc- 

 ciput, which isentirely black; the 2nd. and 3rd. abdominal segments 

 are largely marked with black ; the 4th. and following entirely 

 black. Head and legs of a paler yellow colour than the thorax 

 and abdomen ; the apex of hind tibiae and the tarsi black. 

 Wings yellowish-hyaline to the transverse median and transverse 

 basal nervures ; the rest (except for a hyaline cloud in the fore 

 half of the 1st. cubital cellule and a small one at the junction of 

 the recurrent with the cubitus) dark fuscous ; the base of the 

 stigma yellow. 9 .
