HYMENOPTERA FROM SARAWAK. lens 
rounded, the side and apex of the clypeus—the black central 
mark, becoming eradually roundly, narrowed towards the apex— 
the prothorax, except the lower half of the propleur, tezul, 
scutellum, post-scutellum,a large oblique mark on the -mesopleu- 
re two elongated pyriform marks on the metanotum, the apical 
fourth of the 2nd segment and the greater part of the others,. 
yellowish. ‘The legs black; the apices of the femora narrowly 
and the tibiz and tarsi testaceous; the radial cellule lightly 
smoky, except at the base; antennerufo-testaceous. Q. 
Length 9 mm. 
Hab. Santubong. 
Front and vertex closely, but not deeply punctured, except 
over the antenne. The clypeus is much less distinctly punc- 
tured ; it is slightly longer than its greatest breadth; rounded 
downwards; the apical tooth is indistinct. Thorax closely 
punctured, the punctures, in places, running into reticulations ; 
the apex of the post scutellum and the metanotum impunctate ; 
the metanotum is widely and deeply furrowed in the centre ; the 
sides of the furrow are oblique; the side sparsely, finely, obscu- 
rely striated. The abdominal petiole is elongated as in J. varie- 
gata; only about the basal third is narrowed; the 2nd segment 
is distinctly longer than its width at the base; it is brownish at 
the base. The 2nd cubital cellule is narrowed at the top, being 
there about one-fourth of the length of the 3rd. 
Comes near to I. marginatu and I. varicgata. The Bornean 
species of Jcarta seem to have the clypeus broadly black in the 
middle, e. g. Ma/ayana and latebalteate, Cam. 
Mr. Shelford has taken at Kuching J. ornaticeps, Cam., 
hitherto only known from the Khasia. Hills in Assam.
