NEW SPECIES OF INDIAN HYMENOPTEPA. 7 



Habitat : Deesa. 



The above three species are easily distinguished from P. orientalis, 

 the only speeies previously recorded from the Indian region, by the 

 much greater convergence of the eyes. 



MlSCOPHUS QUETTAENSIS, n. Sp. 



9 Head, thorax, and abdomen very minutely and closely punctur- 

 ed, median segment finely obliquely striate ; clypeus slightly raised in 

 the centre, its apex almost transverse ; front with a median longitudinal 

 impressed line ; abdomen scarcely longer than thorax. Black, with 

 bronzy reflections ; basal two abdominal segments dark red ; head, 

 thorax, apical portions of abdominal segments, and legs with sparse, 

 short, silvery pile ; wings hyaline, their apices slightly infuscated. 



$ Similar, slightly smaller, abdomen longer in proportion, the 

 segments slightly constricted, front with golden pile. 



Long. 5 mm. 



Habitat : Quetta ; two specimens. 



This species may be easily known from both M. rothneyi, and from 

 M. difficilis described below, by its being punctured. 



MlSCOPHUS DIFFICILIS, 11. Sp. 



9 $ Head, thorax, and abdomen smooth and shining ; clypeus 

 much broader than long, rounded anteriorly ; front between base of 

 antennae and anterior ocellus with a longitudinal impressed line • 

 median segment rounded posteriorly, with a trace of a median longi- 

 tudinal furrow, the segment microscopically striate at base, the stria? 

 oblique at the sides, transverse in the centre. Black ; the scape of the 

 antennae, the tibiae, and tarsi red ; wings hyaline, forewing fuscescent 

 along the costal margin, nervures and tegulee black. 



Long. 3-4 mm. 



Habitat : Peshin, Baluchistan ; six specimen?. 



This lSj I believe, the smallest species yet dpscribed. 

 Gastrosericits electus, n. sp. 



9 Head and thorax minutely aciculate, abdomen smooth ; clypeus 

 much broader than long, emargiuate anteriorly ; median segment 

 rounded posteriorly ; pygidium with a few scattered punctures. Head 

 and thorax black ; the base of the mandibles, clypeus, the greater part 

 of the soape and sometimes the flagellum of the antennae, the abdomen, 

 the greater part of the femora, and the whole of the tibiae and tarsi, 

 red ; head, thorax, and abdomen covered with a short, silvery pile,
