pygidial area much the same as in formosana. Fore coxa carinated and toothed as in this species, but tooth much shorter (markedly contrasted to longer and acuter prosternai tooth), fore femur characteristically structured as in the compared species (Fig. 66), mid femur also similarly dilated in posterior view, but lower margin acutely edged and carinated at rounded corner near base in the present species (Fig. 72), hind tibia (Fig. 73) on anterior margin edged, at its lower half carinated and provided with 3-4 strong teeth, each tooth consisting of two teeth fused together, with apex bifurcate, outer surface of segment strongly and coarsely spinose, spines roughly in two longitudinal rows, with interspaces hollowed and shining (cf. Fig. 68 in formosana), longer tibial spur similar in form to that of formosana (Fig. 69). Punctures on head above as in formosana, but on temple on upper portion finer and closer, less confluent transversely, on lower portion posteriorly very sparse, surface shining, mesoscutum and scutellum longitudinally closely punctate- and rugoso-striate almost entire surface, punctures somewhat lengthened and distinctly larger than on vertex, mesopleuron above rather closely striate and punctate, below rather finely isolately punctate (Fig. 74, cf. Fig. 70 in formosana), with interspaces less than puncture diameter and on intervalic area punctures larger, longitudinally subrugosely confluent. Propodeum very coarsely irregularly reticulate, far coarser than in formosana, sculpture so coarsely covering dorsal surface that median furrow appearing to be one of irregular-shaped meshes and becoming inconspicuous, punctuation on abdominal tergites similar to that of formosana, sternite 2 with a pair of large opaque areas, interspace of which rather largely punctate, punctureintervals partly as large as, partly slightly smaller than, width of a puncture punctures nearly uniform all over, not turning smaller towards the sides. rf unknown.

The nominate species is widely distributed over the Oriental Region. Remarks. On the thorax of the examined specimens ( 9 cf) the collar and tubercles of the pronotum, axillae and greater part of the scutellum are yellow. In a considerable number of them the yellow of the thorax is confined to such markings. While, in some specimens, further, a mark on the antero-lateral areas of mesoscutum, a mark or two on the prepectus of mesopleuron, and in rare instances, a spot on the epimeral area and a spot on the remaining episternal area anteriorly above and below are yellow. The developmental degrees of these marks and partial extinction among them are considerably varied among the specimens. 19 Természettudományi Múzeum Évkönyve 1977.
