94 11YMENOPTERA OF SARAWAK. 



longer than broad, smooth space. Frontal keels distinct, the 

 apical curved and projecting, more clearly separated than 

 the others, the upper transverse and less developed than the lateral. 

 Inner orbits obliquely sloped, coarsely rugosely punctured. 

 The eyes behind are bordered by a keel which extends from 

 the top to half way down the malar space, and is clearly sepa- 

 rated from the eyes. Pronotum closely punctured ; the meso- 

 more strongly and irregularly, but not so closely and having a 

 wide smooth line in the centre of the basal half ; the scutellum 

 is less closely and less strongly punctured, and with a smooth, 

 shining, slightly violaceous space in the centre. It is separated 

 irom the metanotum by a deep, curved, crenulated furrow. 

 Post-scutellar region closely rugose ; the median segment more 

 closely and less strongly punctured and having a smooth raised 

 curved line at its base. The basal 4 segments of the abdomen 

 are c osely punctured, the punctuation becoming gradually 

 weaker ; at the base is a deep crenulated furrow ; the last is 

 more closely and strongly punctured and with its apex depress- 

 ed and smooth, except in the centre, which projects. The apices 

 of all the segments are smooth ; the ventral closely and strongly 

 punctured. 



The pro- and mesopleurae are closely punctured, the latter 

 less strongly at the apex, the meta- coarsely aciculated, shining. 

 The hinder tibiee have 4 teeth above ; below and clearly separat- 

 ed from them, are 4 larger oblique ones, followed by a smaller 

 tooth. The 1st disevidal cellule is of equal width throughout. 

 The frontal area, above, is not half the length of the bottom. 

 Clypeus and the apex of mandibles thickly covered with golden 

 hair. Second abdominal segment not quite so long as the follow- 

 ing 2 united. The median segment laterally is bounded by a 

 keel ; above this is another longitudinal keel. 



Stirocorsia belongs to the Oryssinini.
