HYMENOPTERA FROM SARAWAK. 145 
black. Apical half of the middle lobe of the mesonotum coarse- 
ly transversely reticulated, its apex stoutly longitudinally 
striated ; the basal half is sparsely punctured. Scutellum sparse- 
ly punctured laterally; the post-scutellum is furrowed on the 
inner side of the lateral keels. The metapleure at the base are 
sparsely punctured ; the rest of them on the upper half are close- 
ly and rather strongly punctured, the punctures forming rows. 
The basal 8 segments of the abdomen are closely punctured, 
except on the central depression on the petiole; the oblique 
furrows are finely striated. The apical sezyments are smooth. 
The anterior tarsi are black; thickly covered with white 
pubescence ; the anterior tibiz are black in front; the rest of the 
legs are of a darker blue than the body. 
Spilorori les, gen. nov. 
Antenne slender, short, ringed with white, the apical four 
joints geniculated and angularly bent back from the others ; the 
ord jointis distinctly longer than the 4th. Face raised in the 
centre, clearly separated from the lateral part; its apex rounded. 
Occiput distinctly margined. The apex of the scutellum dis- 
tinctly keeled on the sides; the post-scutellum stoutly keeled 
laterally. The areola is widened at the apex and is separated 
from the posterior median by a stout transverse keel. The 
transverse median nervure is placed behind the transverse 
basal; the recurrent nervure is received distinctly beyond the 
transverse cubital by a greater distance than the length of the 
latter. The cubital nervure is broken shortly below the middle. 
The Ist sezment of the abdomen is roundly convex and is with- 
out any depressions or furrows ; the 2nd and 3rd segments have 
oblique depressions on the base. The basal joint of the hinder 
tarsi is shorter than the following joints united. 
This genus may be separated from Cyanoxorides as follows : 
Antenne short, slender, not densely pilose, the 3rd 
joint distinctly longer than the 4th; the lash of the anten- 
ne only 4-jointed, the face clearly separated from the 
orbits ; the body not metallic blue: the areola separated 
from the posterior median area by a stout transverse keel; 
the basal joint of the hinder tarsi shorter than the other 
joints united. Spiloxorides.
