Head and thorax black, abdomen largely ferruginous; scape 
and pedicel below, mandibles, palpi, front and middle legs, hind 
trochanters, tegule, and wing bases whitish; flagellum fuscous, 
more reddish toward tip; hind cox black basally, reddish at 
‘apex; hind femur testaceous, tibia stramineous with subbasal 
and apical infuscation, tarsus fuscous, calearia white; wings 
hyaline, venation brown; petiole stramineous; second tergite me- 
dially and narrowly at apex blackish; a narrow line near lateral 
margins of second and third tergites also black. 
Male.—Like female in size, sculpture, and structure, and dif- 
fering practically only in having the abdomen black at apex. 
Host—Naranga aenescens Moore. 
Type locality —Formosa. 
Type.—Catalogue No. 24061, United States National Museum. 
A female and a male reared from the host larva by T. Shiraki. 
The cocoon from which the male emerged is on the pin. It is 
- 6 by 2.5 millimeters, cylindric-ovate with a suspension thread 
at the caudal end. It is dirty white with the caudal end and 
a row of spots near each end black. 
Hyposoter flavus sp. nov. 
In spite of the indistinctly areolated propodeum and the very 
small, occasionally absent areolet, there is apparently no reai 
reason for erecting a new genus for this species. In fact, the 
most striking difference to be noted is the nearly uniform pale 
yellow color of the head and thorax. 
Female.—Length, 10 millimeters; antennze, 7. Head from 
above very thin, the temples nearly flat and sharply sloping; 
face densely punctate, nearly flat; frons coriaceous, with a me- 
dian carina from anterior ocellus to between antennal foramina; 
eyes large, concavely curved within; ocellocular line about half 
as long as diameter of a posterior ocellus, postocellar line slightly 
longer; malar space hardly half as long as basal width of man- 
dible ; thorax largely closely punctate; pronotum striate laterally ; 
upper hind portion of mesopleurum polished, with a few short 
strie in front of the polished area; mesopleural furrow foveolate; 
notauli weakly and broadly impressed anteriorly; scutellum 
strongly convex, sloping to apex ; propodeum medially impressed, 
the carine usually distinct in the genus more or less indicated, 
especially the basal transverse and the apical abscissa of the 
lateral and pleural carine; spiracle elongate-oval, small; legs 
slender, longer hind calcarium reaching more than three-fourths 
of the way to apex of basitarsus; areolet very small with a very
