Some Species of the Genus Leucopsis 
27 
This species is similar to L. mysolica Kirby 1 in color and in 
the dentition of the hind femora. It may be separated readily 
by the sculpture of the vertex, position of ocelli, and form of the 
antennae, as well as by the single carina on the pronotum. 
Leucospis malabarensis sp. nov. 
$ . Length 9 mm. Black, with yellow ornamentation and 
some ferruginous markings, without metallic color. The yellow 
markings are as follows; antennal scape below, oval spot on 
each frontal prominence, as long as the scape; two narrow trans- 
verse bands on pronotum, the anterior one curved forwards 
laterally and the posterior one not reaching the sides; a thin 
streak above the tegulse and a pair of small spots on middle of 
mesonotum; narrow arcuate band on posterior margin of scu- 
tellum; large triangular mark below tegula; short streak on 
metapleura above; spot at upper angle of hind coxa; pair of 
broad lateral stripes on basal half of first abdominal segment, 
their bases nearer to the median line; narrow band at base of 
fourth segment, extending halfway down the side; broader, 
complete apical band on fifth and a pair of short vertical lines 
just before tip of abdomen; margin of hind femur, except the 
toothed portion; small elongate spot just above apical teeth; 
anterior knees, external streak on all tibiae, not attaining the 
base on the hind pair. Tegulae, apices of all coxae and more or 
less of fore and middle femora and of all tibiae rufopiceous; tarsi 
ferruginous. Antennae more or less rufous; wings moderately 
infuscated, except at base. Face microscopically reticulate 
punctate, external margin of antennal cavity distinctly carinate; 
punctures of vertex moderately large and well separated; post- 
erior ocelli almost twice as far from each other as from the eye 
margin; occipital carina rather weak; occiput shining, dis- 
tinctly striate only at the middle; malar space slightly longer 
than the second flagellar joint. First three joints of flagellum 
longer than wide, those beyond quadrate. Pronotum three-
