HYMENOPTERA FROM SARAWAK. 153 
almost forming reticulations; it is not much raised and there 
is no smooth space. Median segment coarsely reticulated; the 
basal area reaches to the middle of the segment; it is not much 
widened at the base and there is a large, wider area on either 
side at the base. The 2nd cubital cellule is not much shorter 
than the 3rd; the 2nd cubital nervure is broadly, roundly curved 
outwardly ; the apex of the radius is straight and oblique. The 
2nd abdominal segment is narrowed at the base and bulges 
roundly outwardly ; the ventral keel is not very prominent and 
is narrowed at the apex. The last serment is smooth in the 
middle ; its apex is distinctly raised. 
Mutilla Cecina, sp. nov. 
Black, thickly covered with white hair; the Ist and 2nd 
abdominal segments ferruginous; the wings fuscous with a 
violaceous tinge: the extreme base of the front and almost the 
basal half of the posterior pair hyaline, the nervures and stigma 
black; the apex of clypeus incised. ¢. 
Length 12 mm. 
Hab. Lingga. November. 
Front and vertex some what strongly longitudinally striated ; 
the vertex behind and between the ocelli much more finely 
striated. Antennal tubercles bright red. Face and clypeus 
smooth, thickly covered with soft white hair; the apex of the 
clvpeus with a round incision; its middle flat. Mandibles black, 
rufous in the middle; the palpi black, mixed with fuscous. Pro- 
notum strongly rugosely, closely punctured; its apex thickly 
covered with depressed dark grey pubescence; the mesonotum 
is more shining, and more strongly but not so closely, punctured. 
Scutellum strongly rugosely punctured and covered with long 
black hair. Median segment strongly reticulated; its central 
area not quite reaching tothe middle; its basal half dilated. 
The basal half of the propleure 1ugosely reticulated; the 
apical smooth, with some obscure longitudinal striz. Meso- 
pleure closely rugosely punctured. Metapleurz: irregularly 
reticulated except in the middle and at the base above. Legs 
thickly covered with white hair; the spurs pale. The basal 
abscissa of the radius is slightly curved outwardly ; the apical 
broadly, roundly curved and is longer than the middle two unit-
