Hab. Sarawak. 



Antennae black ; the scape yellow below. Head pallid 

 yellow ; above smooth, the face and clypeus closely but not 

 strongly, punctured ; the vertex in the centre is black from 

 shortly behind the ocelli and this black mark is continued half way 

 down the front, it becoming gradually narrower as it does so ; 

 there is an irregular black transverse mark on the centre of the 

 occiput. The thorax is deeper in tint than the head ; and is 

 quite smooth, without any punctures ; near the base of the 

 mesonotum is a large irregular mark which extends to the sides ; 

 it is broadly rounded at the base,; with short blunt projections 

 in the middle ; the sides at apex project, the projections 

 becoming gradually narrower towards the apex ; the apex of the 

 mesonotum is broadly black; the black mark behind being 

 continued into the scutellar depression. Scutellum smooth, 

 broadly rounded, smooth ; the sides and apex keeled. On the 

 basal half of the median segment are four lateral and one large 

 central areas ; the central area does not project beyond the 

 lateral at the apex, which is transverse ; its basal third is 

 obliquely narrowed i the apical two thirds are also obliquely 

 narrowed ; the apical lateral areas are quadrangular and of equal 

 width throughout; the apical half is keeled on the outside. 

 Wings clear hyaline, except at the apex which is narrowly 

 fusco-violaceous : the areoletis small and is distinctly appendicu- 

 lated ; the upper half of the recurrent nervure is sharply angled. 

 The abdomen has the four middle segments closely punctured ; 

 the basal segment has a broad irregular black mark in the 

 centre ; the second and fifth segments have two large marks, 

 those on the third and fourth being larger than the others ; there 

 are two minute marks on the sixth, and two broad, transverse 

 ones on the seventh ; the last segment is immaculate. 



The labrum is longer than usual, being longer than the 

 clypeus, it becomes gradually narrowed from the base to the
