HYMENOPTERA OF SARAWAK. 121 



distinctly punctured, the basal smooth and shining ; pedicle of 

 areolet more than half the length of the 2nd transverse cubital 

 nervure. 



This is a more robust species than E. maculipes ; its thorax 

 is much less strongly marked with yellow, the 2 yellows lines 

 on the mesonotum only being present at the base, the basal 

 mark on the mesopleurae is smaller and not reaching to the 

 lower edge, the sternum is black, and the pedicle of the areolet 

 is longer. 



Echthromorpha maculipes, sp. nov. 



Black, the face, clypeus, orbits, the yellow below the ocelli 

 expanding inwardly, this contracting the black mark in the 

 centre of the front; the lower outer orbits entirely, malar space, 2 

 lines on the mesonotum, expanded outwardly at the base, scutel- 

 lums, the keels running from them, the metanotum except for a 

 large black mark in the centre, its basal half broader than apical 

 and becoming gradually, rounded narrowed to the apex; the 

 apical half becoming slightly gradually wider to the apex; on 

 the sides a broad line runs to the spiracles ; propleurre black, 

 yellow at the base; mesopleuras yellow, its base, a band under 

 the tubercles, the top, a large band on the apex, irregularly, 

 slightly incised at the base and apex, where it joins the black 

 on the mesosternum, thus having a large mark, narrowed and 

 rounded at the apex, on either side and reaching shortly beyond 

 the middle. Metapleurae yellow, its base black to near the 

 bottom. All the abdominal segments lined with yellow; the 1st 

 broader and the last narrower than the others ; the others slightly 

 narrowed in the middle. Wings hyaline, with a slight fulvous 

 tint; the nervures and stigma black; the usual apical cloud has 

 a violaceous tinge. Legs yellow ; the hind cox^e broadly, 

 irregularly black below and laterally ; above, and joined to 

 the lower black mark, is a black mark, which becomes gra- 

 dually wider towards the apex and extending from there to the 

 base; there is a large broad black band on the upper innerside, 

 a narrower ore on the outer, the two almost uniting at the 

 apex, a large band in the centre below and the base of the 

 hinder tibiae, black ; the hind tarsi black, fuscous at the base. 

 Scape yellow below.
