HYMENOPTERA OF SARAWAK. 129 



tured ; the depressions and furrows closely, striated ; the first 

 segment, between the keels, more strongly and irregularly 

 transversely striated. 



This species may form the type of a new genus, when more 

 species of this group are available for study. The areola is not 

 contracted, but is of equal width throughout, the labrum is not 

 obliquely depressed, the body wants the distinct metallic blue 

 texture, and the wings are not spotted. 



Cyanoxorides ccevuleus, sp. nov. 



Blue, the 5th abdominal segment white above ; the legs 

 bronzy black, the femora brighter in tint ; the front legs testa- 

 ceous especially anteriorly ; the hinder coxys rufous ; antenna? 

 black, covered with short, stiff black pubescence ; the middle 

 with a broad white baud ; wings hyaline ; a fuscous band along 

 the transverse median and the lower half of the transverse basal • 

 and a broad band, extending from near the base of the radial 

 cellule to shortly beyond the transverse cubital and recurrent

 white spot at the base. 9 • 



Lenth 13-14; terebra 8 mm. 



Hab. Kuching. 



Face smooth, its sides depressed, transversely striated in 

 the middle above ; the clypeus clearly separated from it and 

 obliquely depressed towards the base where is a furrow, which 

 becomes oblique at the sides. Front and vertex smooth and

 Middle lobe of mesonotum covered with black pubescence ; its

 tudinal keels. Scutellum roundly convex, sparsely punctured ; 

 in the centre of the basal depression are 2 stout keels ; the post-
