PIMPLA. 267 



Hab. Mexico (Bilimek). 



Antennae scarcely so long as the abdomen ; fuscous on the lower side (especially towards 

 the base of the flagellum) ; covered with a microscopic pile. Head finely punctured, 

 semiopaque. Mesonotum aciculate ; pleurae shining, impunctate ; a broad oblique 

 reddish band proceeding from the tegulse to the hind coxae. Metathorax finely punc- 

 tured, aciculate in the middle above. Abdomen closely and somewhat strongly punc- 

 tured, the apices of the segments shining. Sheaths of the ovipositor thick, densely 

 pilose, a little shorter than the tibiae.

This is perhaps only a variety of P. albipes ; it has, however, the hind coxae lined 

 with black on the inner and outer sides.

Hab. Mexico (Salle). 



Antennae nearly as long as the body, filiform ; fuscous on the lower side of the flagellum, 

 white on the lower side of the scape ; third joint a little shorter than the two following 

 joints together. Head sparsely covered with whitish pile, very minutely punctured ; 

 face broadly projecting. Thorax scarcely punctured, shining; a broad line above the 

 prosternum, a broader one on the edge of the pronotum, the tegulae, the tubercles below 

 them, a somewhat pear-shaped mark on the mesopleura, a longish oblique line along 

 the suture, the hind wings beneath, a roundish mark over and a little in front of the 

 middle coxae, another over the hind coxae, the scutellum, the postscutellum, the apex 

 of the metathorax, and the apices of all the abdominal segments broadly, white. Over 

 the hind coxae the metapleurse are reddish like the hind legs, the white mark being within
