100 HYMENOPTERA FROM SARAWAK, 
The metasternal keel is sharply raised; the fork is stout, short 
and broad, the sides straizht, the apex bluntly rounded. The 
2nd transverse cubital nervure is obsolete; the cubitus distinct; 
the lower part of the apical abscissa is rounded: the upper 
straizht and oblique. The petiole above between the middle 
and apex, is irrerularly longituiinally striated; the sides more 
stoutly obliquely striated. ‘Tibize and tarsi thickly covered with 
short stiff black pubescence and more sparsely with short black 
spines ; the calcaria are black; the front tibize and base of tarsi 
are pale testaceous in front. 
Evania violaceipennis, Sp. noy. 
Black; the scape and the basal joints of the flagellum 
-beneath, the mandibles, except the teeth and the 4 anterior 
femora and tibie in front, pale testaceous; the posterior tarsi 
except the apical joint, white ; the wings uniformly dark viola- 
ceous; the nervures and stigma black. Oe

Face and clypeus opaque, alutaceous: the apex of the cly- 
peus rounded; the malar space alutaceous; they are all thickly 
covered with silvery pubescence. Front longitudinally striated 
throughout; the strie all distinctly separated; the central is 
the stouter. The hinder ocelli are separated from the eyes by 
almost double the distance they are from each other. The 
middle lobe of the mesonotum is indistinctly, irrecularly reticu- 
lated. The part at the sides of the scutellum behind is stoutly, 
obliquely striated. The metanotum is closely, rather strongly, 
irregularly punctured, except at the apex which is smooth. 
Propleuree almost entirely smooth; the meso- smooth, indistinctly 
punctured below, above with a raised, slightly oblique, band of 
stout strie; the meta- are stoutly, regularly reticulated. ‘The 
tibiee are thickly covered with stiff black hair and sparsely with 
black spines. The apical abscissa of the radius is roundly, 
broadly curved inwardly; the first recurrent nervure is receiv- 
ed distinctly beyond the transverse cubital; the 2nd trans- 
verse cubital nervure is obsolete. The sternal keel is stout; 
the metasternal process is stout, the forks diverge outwardly,
