2. AMESTOCHARIS CARINISCUTUM new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.30 nini. 
Characterised hy bearing on distal part of scntuni a distinct median carina, the surround- 
ing surface glabrous and sunk below the level of the rest. Also by having only the tibis and 
tarsi white or yellowish white. Dark metallic green, the abdomen blue, the wings hyaline. 
Scape white; i)edieel subequal to funicle 2 which is a little shorter than funicle 1 which is 
cylindrical oval, somewhat longer than wide; club longer than the funicle, its first joint subequal 
to funicle 1, its terminal Joint witli a long stout terminal spine or projection. Club well 
defined. Hind tibial si>ur long and stout, single. Second segment of abdomen occupying two 
thirds of the surface. Eyes occupying most of the cheeks, the anteunm inserted on a level 
wdth their ventral ends, near the mouth. Mandibles with two acute teeth. Tertox glabrous, 
the face concave. Pronotum glabrous; seutiim cofirsely polygonally scaly, at distal third or 
more abruptly glabrous and with a median carina; a large isolated seta on each side of this 
Carina about the center of the subquadrate glabrous area on each side (the area is between the 
parapsidal furrows, extending to their cephalic ends, the furrows beiiig abbreviated, not half 
the length of the scutum). Scutellum with long, coarse polygons. Second abdominal segment 
and propodenin glabrous. Regular polygons on scutellum around mesal apex. 
Described from one female caught by sweeping a jungle-lined forest streamlet, June 14, 
1913 (A. P. Dodd).

4. AMESTOCHARIS SULCATUS new’ species. 
Hind tibial spurs long and stoiit. Dorsal abdomen distad of segment 2 with very few 
setse, these isolated.

rosaceous coppery, the abdomen very dark green, the abdominal petiole is distinctly shorter 
and stouter, barely longer than wide (in the genotype a half longer than wide), the elongate 
fovea or median sulcus at base of Bcutelliun is somewdiat longer (four times longer than wide) 
and on the proi)odeum there is a distinct, short, oblique carina running from the carinated 
caudal margin a short distance laterad of meson running meso-cephalad across the corner and 
turning abru]>tJy mesad to the nearer arm of the median earin.a. Cephalic femora all white. 
Axilla? glabrous in both species. Chib with a stout curved terminal spine. Pedicel shorter 
than cither funicle joint, the latter narrowhiig cephalad, a half longer than wide, subequal, 
longer than the club joints; the latter each somew'hat longer than wnde, the club slightly longer 
than the funicle. Petiole shagreened. Meso-caudal end of X‘arapside glabrous. Cephalic margin
