of pronotum broad laterally, narrowed in the centre, a line along the 
sides of the raesonotum, a broader one on the sides of the scutellum and 
the ovipositor, except at the base and apex above, dark rufous; the apices 
of the abdominal segments of a darker red ; the under side of the flagel¬ 
lum of the antennae, and its basal joints above, rufous ; the pedicle black ; 
legs black, densely covered with white pubescence, the anterior obscured 
with rufous, the middle femora, tibiae and tarsi rufo-testaceous; the 
hinder tarsi appear white from being densely covered with white 
pubescence. Tegulae rufous, wings clear hyaline, the nervures black. 
Head, pro-and mesothorax coarsely rugosely punctured, the head more 
finely than the thorax; the pronotum more finely than the mesonotum 
and the latter less coarsely than the scutellum—Propleurae coarsely rugosely 
punctured ; the basal half of the mesopleurae rugosely punctured, thickly 
covered with longish white hair, the apical half depressed, flat, shining, 
bare, closely, rather strongly striated, the striae stronger above than below. 
Metapleurae coarsely reticulated-punctured. Metanotum irregularly reti¬ 
culated ; a small angled area in the centre of the base, with a large, 
irregular, almost semicircular one on either side of it, these bearing some 
irregular striae. The 1st abdominal segment is punctured to near the 
apex, the others are punctured at the apex where the pubescence is, the 
apical are more coarsely punctured throughout. Ovipositor strongly 
punctured at the base, weakly at the apex. The hind femora closely 
denticulate throughout; the teeth are small, rounded and almost hidden 
by the dense pubescence. ? and £. 
Length ? 6 mm., ovipositor 2 mm., S . 4 mm. Dehra Dun, June, 
“ Out of sundri wood. ” ( Heritiera Pomes, Buck.). The S has the 
antennae entirely black, the sides only of the pronotum are rufous, the 
central red line being almost obliterated ; the mesonotum bears no red, 
and the ventral surface of the abdomen is red ; the 4 front legs and the 
hind tarsi are rufous. Probably the amount of the red colour varies in 
both sexes. In one <£ I can only count 9 distinct femoral teeth. 
Chalcis tacliardice , sp, nov. 
Black, densely covered with white pubescence, the apex of the femora, 
base and apex of tibiae more broadly and the tarsi yellowish white, as 
are also the tegulae ; wings clear hyaline, the nervures black. Hind 
femora with about 10 small teeth ; the apical 3 smaller than the rest,
