[Vol. IY. 
2 small transverse spots on the scutellum, the greater part of the- 
pleurae and sterna, narrow bands on the apices of the dorsal and wider 
ones, mostly interrupted in the middle, on the ventral abdominal seg¬ 
ments, of snow white pubescence, the legs clothed with similar pube¬ 
scence. Scutellum more strongly and less closely punctured than the meso- 
notum, the punctures sparser on the centre of the apical half; the apical 
margin broadly rounded, slightly raised and with a rounded incision in 
the centre; the teeth short, not quite twice longer than wide, a small and 
a large fovea on the top. Wings hyaline to the 1st recurrent and 1st 
transverse cubital nervures, the 2nd recurrent almost interstitial. Basal 
4 abdominal segments closely punctured, the punctures-becoming weaker 
towards the apex; there is a smooth transverse line on the sides of the 
segments near the apex; the 5th segment weakly, closely punctured, the 
basal half of the 3th very weakly, the apical more distinctly, closely 
punctured; there is a fine smooth keel down the centre of the basal half; 
basal third of apical ventral segment smooth, the middle closely punc¬ 
tured, the apical third smooth; it projects, but not much, over the dorsal 
segment and becomes gradually narrowed towards the apex. $ . 
Length 12 mm. 
Simla. 
Apex of clypeus bluntly rounded; the clypeus large, longer than the 
face, roundly convex. The centre of the apex of the scutellum is almost 
bilobate, being separated from the sides and having a central incision; 
the apex of the last abdominal segment is not acute, but rather bluntly 
rounded. There is an indication of a keel on the front. There are no 
transverse furrows on the abdominal dorsal segments. 
Coelioxys ruficaudis , sp. nov.* 
Black, the apical abdominal segment from near the base red; the legs 
brownish red; mandibles rufous, the teeth black; flagellum rufo-fuscous 
below; wings hyaline, the stigma and nervures black. Apex of scutel¬ 
lum rough, broadly rounded, the lateral teeth large, bluntly rounded at 
the apex, the sides broadly roundly curved, the centre with a large deep 
hollow, widened and deepened at the base of the inner curve. Pubescence 
dense and silvery, almost covering entirely the outer orbits, pleurae, 
sternum and legs; 2 small spots, longer than wide, on the base of 
mesonotum, one at the sides, near the base and apex of the tegulae,
