Body short and broad; vertex broad, subtriangular, flat, a littledepressed at basal area, lateral margins oblique and almost ina line with the outer margins of the eyes ; ocelli situate near base,nearer to eyes than to each other, eyes projecting behind beyondthe anterior angles of the pronotum ; face long, narrow, flattened,transversely impressed beneath base, narrower at apex than atbase, more than twice as long as clypeus; pronotum transverse,. Fig. 169.— Gurawa vexillum. shorter than vertex, centrally finely carinate, all the marginsnearly sti*aight, more than twice as broad as long; scutellumcentrally depressed, transversely impressed before apical area, itsapex acute ; legs of moderate length, the posterior tibiae thicklyfinely spinulose; tegmina broad, passing the abdominal apex,apical areas short, three in number, clavus of moderate size, clavalvein curved. This genus has a considerable resemblance to Eapeliv, placed bywriters (Puton, Melicliar, Edwards) in the Acocephaliiw. Theocelli are often difficult to distinguish, but their position near thebase of the vertex in Gurawa is a distinct feature, and in thisdetermination I was confirmed by the hymenopterists Col. Binghamand Mr. Tm-ner, and by Edwd. Waterhouse, the coleopterist. PTTHAMU8, 26c5 2506. Gurawa vexillum, sp. n.
