20, 6 Fouts: New Parasitic Hymenoptera 623 
matted hairs, the parts of which curve outward and forward, 
projecting over a similar but smaller structure on the posterior 
part of the head; on the pronotum below and behind these head | 
structures is a membrane of much the appearance of the others, 
the structure of which can be more easily observed; it may be 
that the matted or woolly appearance referred to above is 
caused by inner striation of the membrane; pronotum broadly 
transverse, slightly narrowed anteriorly, not emarginate, its 
posterior angles sharp; pronotum finely reticulate, with two 
broad shallow depressions posteriorly; mesonotum a little over 
half as long as the scutellum, with a broad depression on the 
outside of each parapsidal groove; median lobe shagreened; 
seutellum large, transverse, longitudinally carinate, posteriorly 
shagreened, with a polished median groove; axille separated off 
by deep grooves; postscutellum medially roughened, mostly un- 
sculptured; membranes on tibize and tarsi very wide, as wide 
as or wider than the joints to which they are attached; abdomen 
as wide as the thorax, shorter; ovipositor projecting, two-thirds 
as long as the scape; wings glabrous, very large and long, with 
a brownish band variegated with hyaline across the middle; 
transverse median nervure shorter than the subcosta beyond the 
basal, straight, perpendicular; radius three and one-half times 
as long as the anterior abscissa of the subcosta, nearly straight, 
oblique, as long as the basal; basal vein curved distad; median 
cell wide, half as wide as the radius is long; submedius less 
than half as long as the subcosta. 
STRAITS SETTLEMENTS, Singapore (Baker), 1 female. 
Type.—Catalogue No. 24317, United States National Museum. 
This species is most remarkable and could possibly be placed 
in a new genus. In its antennal structure it differs from all 
the other species of Loboscelidia. 
Loboscelidia philippinensis sp. nov. 
Female.—Length, 4 millimeters. Head higher than long, the 
cheeks not wider than the eyes, without pubescence or with only 
a few scattered hairs; frons flattened, finely shagreened, bor- 
dered laterally by a rounded ridge which éxtends from the 
antennal ledge to the occiput; ocelli large, disposed in a low 
triangle, the lateral ones their diameter apart and their diameter 
distant from the back of the head; ocelli not situated in a de- 
pression, the anterior one-half its diameter or less from the 
others; antennal ledge bilobed; wider than high seen from in 
front; dorsal cervical plate regularly arched above, polished,
