Cameron, Hymcnoptcva Orientalia. 



clypeus with the punctures obscure ; its apex depressed ; 

 slightly curved ; the base of the clypeus, and the inner 

 orbits to the top of the incision, white; the mandibles 

 deeply grooved. Antennae entirely black. Thorax opaque ; 

 black ; the edge of the pronotum white behind ; the 

 pro- and meso-notum strongly, but not very deeply punc- 

 tured. Scutellum and post-scutellum more rugosely 

 punctured than the mesonotum. Pro- and meso-notum 

 more strongly punctured than the metapleurae, of which 

 the punctures are more widely separated and not so 

 deep. Legs black, covered with a white down. Abdomen 

 shining, impunctate ; the apex of the basal segment with 

 a broad white band of equal width ; the second with a 

 much narrower band, dilated slightly at the sides. Wings 

 violaceous ; the second cubital cellule at the top is as long 

 as the space bounded by the second recurrent and the 

 second transverse cubital nervures. 



The 6 is very similar to the ? ; the clypeus is entirely 

 pale yellow, with a mushroom-like black mark at the 

 apex; the line on the orbits is broader; the scape is for 

 the greater part yellow, beneath. 



This species was recognised by the late Mr. F. Smith 

 as an undescribed species; but it has not, so far as I 

 know, been described.
