HYMEN OPT ERA FROM SARAWAK 97 



testaceous; the tibial and tarsal spines white. The abdominal 

 segments are banded with depressed silvery pubescence ; the 

 pygidium is covered with bright golden pubescence. 



The radial cellule has the apex rounded, not acute ; the 

 eyes above are separated by not quite the length of the second 

 and third antennal joints united ; and there is no appendicular 

 cellule in the fore wings. Comes near to T. nitidula F. and T. 

 rothnet/i Cam., from both of which it may be known by the 

 golden pile on the pygidium. 



Notogonia umbripennis, sp. nov. 



Black, covered with silvery pubescence; the pygidium 

 with a stiff golden pile ; the wings fuscous-violaceous § . 



Length 14-15 mm. 



Hab. Kuching, Sarawak. 



The lower part of the front and the clypeus thickly cover- 

 ed with silvery pubescence ; the front and vertex closely and 

 minutely punctiired ; the centre of the face has an impressed 

 line ; the clypeus is smooth, shining and bare. Eyes large, 

 distinctly converging above, where they are separated by about 

 the length of the fourth antennal joint. The base of the mandi- 

 bles is thickly covered with silvery pubescence ; the palpi are 

 black and covered with a grey pile. The mesonotum is depres- 

 sed in the middle at the base ; and there is a short longitudinal 

 furrow opposite the tegular Median segment alutaceous ; there 

 is a narrow keel down the centre of the basal two-thirds ; above 

 the middle of the mesopleur^e is a distinct striated longitudinal 

 furrow, which does not reach to the apex. Wings fuscous- 

 violaceous ; the second and third cubital cellules above are equal 

 in length ; the recurrent nervures are received close to each 

 other near the apex of the basal third of the cellule. Legs 

 stout; the apex of the hinder tibiae and the metatarsus covered 

 with a golden pile ; the spines on the tibise and tarsi are black, 

 as are also the calcaria. Abdomen pruinose ; the segments 

 banded with silvery pile ; the pygidium densely covered with 

 bright golden pile and thickly with long stiff fulvous hair. The 

 sides of the median segment are obscurely obliquely striated. 



Comes nearest perhaps to iV. jaculatrix Sm. from which it 

 may be known by the dark violaceous wirgs.
