duced. Legs slender and not short, the anterior internally dull 

 stramineous. Wings hyaline with stigma and nervures black ; lower 

 basal nervure distinctly antefurcal, nervelet wanting, discoidal cell 

 narrow ; recurrent nervure emitted from a little beyond centre of the 

 quadrate and very small areolet, the outer nervure of which is some- 

 times obsolete; radius reflexed before its apex. Length, 8 mm. 

 Distinct in its bicarinate and basally smooth metathoi'ax, the small 

 and apically weak areolet, and in the apically white second segment. 



Three males, evidently bred from a moth, host cocoon, from Durban 

 in Natal, where they occurred to Bell Marley in May, 1913. 



GrORYPHUS TESTACEUS, sp. BOV. 



(J only. A testaceous and very finely punctate species, with only the 

 stigma, nervures, niaudibular apices, ocellar region, posterior tarsi, and 

 the hind calcaria with apical third and extreme base of their tibiae, 

 black ; pleurae dull flavidous and the head, except occiput, stramineous. 

 Frons finely scabriculous, face shagreened and flat and dull, clypeus 

 discreted and subdeplauate, twice as broad as long, with its apex 

 hardly curved. Antennae desunt. Notauli deep and .entire; meta- 

 thorax finely scabriculous, with weak but entire basal transcarina and 

 a central trace of the apical one ; basal area obsolete, spiracles short 

 oval, and apophyses wanting. Scutellum shining, sparsely punctate 

 and laterally margined to centre. Abdomen slender, unicolorous and, 

 including basal segment, closely and finely punctate. Wings hyaline. 

 Length, 8 mm. Very unlike any of the above in its punctate basal 

 segment, finely sculptured body and testaceous colouration ; though 

 with all the characteristics, and especially the small and quadrate 

 areolet, of the present genus. The facies and punctate postpetiole 

 resemble Stictocryptus. 



The type was bred from " Larva of Dendrolimus sp. (a Lasiocampid 

 moth), Invermanzi River, July, 1913," by Bell Marley at Durban iu 

 Natal.

Essential Characters. Upper basal nervure not autefurcal ; clypeus 

 neither apically reflexed nor depressed ; metathoracic spiracles elon- 

 gate ; frons centrally coruute ; apex of pronotuni not laterally tuber- 

 culate. It differs but slightly (in the last-named character) from 

 Suvalta, Cameron.
