94 HYMENOPTERA FROM SARAWAK. 



the larger. The median segment has a short, rounded slope ; it 

 is irregularly transversely wrinkled. The wings are hyaline, 

 with a slight, but distinct, fulvous tinge ; the first and second 

 cubital cellules are equal in length above ; the first recurrent 

 nervure is received in the middle ; the second at the apex of the 

 basal third of the cellule ; the accessory nervure in the hind 

 wings is interstitial. Legs black ; the hinder femora entirely 

 and the four anterior tibiae and base of tarsi rufous in front. 

 Abdomen pruinose ; the basal segment is triangular, and be- 

 comes gradually wider from the base to the apex, and without a 

 neck at the base. 



This species comes near to P. tincta. Sm., sec. Cam., Manch. 

 Mem. 1891, p. 441. That species may be known from it by its 

 head and thorax being densely pilose, by the first cubital cellule 

 being distinctly shorter than the second above ; by the apex of 

 the propleurse not being so distinctly bituberculate, and by the 

 first transverse cubital nervure being roundly curved, not 

 straight, as in the present species.

Long : 11 mm. 



Hab. Kuching, Sarawak, and Singapore. 



The basal two joints of the antennpe rufo-testaceous ; the 

 third joint dark testaceous ; the fourth, fifth and sixth joints dark 

 testaceous beneath. Head black ; the clypeus, mandibles, and 

 lower inner orbits yellowish testaceous ; the palpi at the base 

 testaceous, the apical joints pale yellow ; the hair bundle long 

 and dark testaceous. The front is thickly covered with a golden 

 pile and has a narrow furrow down the middle. The eyes dis- 

 tinctly converge above and are separated there by the length of 

 the third antenna] joint. Thorax thickly covered with golden 

 pubescence; the prothorax yellowish-testaceous. Legs yellow- 

 ish-testaceous ; the four hinder trochanters, the middle femora 

 with an irregular line above, the apex of the hinder femora, the 

 apex of the middle tibiae, the apical two- thirds of the hinder 

 tibiae, the apex of the fore tarsi and four posterior, except at the
