Propodeon. 
apart from a uniform much raised coarse reticulation. Both lateral 
and median carinae well developed, the former subparallel and dividing 
posteriorly into two branches of which the inwardly-directed one is 
longer and finer : these branches, together with the posterior margin of 
the propodeon enclose a quadrangular space whose diagonals do not in- 
tersect at right angles. The spiracle (Fig. 22) very large with a short 
sulcus, and extending backwards outside the lateral keel, beyond the 
fork, occupies nearly all the lateral surface of the propodeon above the 
metapleura. 
Wings. — Fore wings nearly two-and-half times as long as broad ; 
length 1-55 mm.; breadth ’65 mm.; the submarginal is about one-fifth less 
than the marginal, and the latter is four times the radius (Fig. 21), which 
bears four bristles on the stalk. The submarginal bears near the base a 
single bristle, and there are 12-13 fringing bristles on the marginal; along 
the submarginal, on the inferior surface, there are 8-9 bristles, and 3-4. 
more at the apex ; there are two bristles on the root of the marginal 
before the clear cells. Hindwings : length 1-2 mm. ; breadth *3 mm. 
Legs. — The fore and hind coxae particularly the latter, are rough 
with numerous bristles, Fore legs : femur — anterior surface with about 
twelve short bristles in a subdorsal row, 9-10 longer on ventral edge, 
and posteriorly two rows of 6-7 each, one on the mid line the other above.
