FOSSIL PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA FROM BALTIC AMBER. 339 



almost closed, the marginal vein as long as the submedian cell; the 

 latter above longer than the median by two-thirds the length of the 

 basal vein. Stigma long, narrow. 



Two specimens, B1064 (type) and B14S0. 



Epyris inhabilis sp. nov. 



d 71 . Length 5 mm. Head, seen from above, fully one-fourth wider 

 than long; surface above finely rugulose without any coarse sparse 

 punctures. Ocelli in an equilateral triangle, the lateral ones equi- 

 distant from each other and the eye-margin. Eyes bare, separated 

 by over one-third their length from the hind margin of the head ; head 

 narrowing behind the eyes, the posterior angles broadly rounded and 

 the occiput rounded and regularly emarginate. Head behind, and the 

 cheeks, shagreened. Antenna? 13-jointed scarcely longer than the 

 width of the head, inserted far apart, at their bases separated by one- 

 fourth the width of the head. Scape short, stout, strongly curved; 

 pedicel long, two-thirds as long as the scape ; first three flagellar joints 

 of about equal length, growing thicker, the first a little shorter; fol- 

 lowing joints distinctly transverse, of about the same width as the 

 third joint of the flagellum ; apical joint obtusely narrowed and some- 

 what longer. Maxillary palpi 5-jointed, including the shorter basal 

 joint; labial palpi 3-jointed. Thorax slightly over twice as long as 

 broad. Pronotum, exclusive of the anterior neck-like portion, rounded 

 anteriorly and less than half as long as broad behind; posterior mar- 

 gin slightly curved forward medially. Mesonotum half as long as the 

 pronotum, sculptured like it and the head, except behind medially 

 where it is more nearly smooth; parapsidal furrows deep, complete, 

 strongly converging behind; posterior margin carinate, the carina 

 curving forward a short distance on each side. Scutellum with an 

 impressed line at the base, which is curved backward and foveate on 

 the sides; much depressed laterally and with a deep pit on each side 

 at the bottom of the depression; its surface shagreened. Propodeum 

 quadrate, margined laterally and at the tip; with a sharp median 

 carina; elsewhere finely reticulate. Pleura?, as nearly as they can be 

 seen, finely punctate. Abdomen short, but little longer than the 

 thorax, ovate; the base sharply constricted and with an extremely 

 short but quite distinct petiole; second segment the longest, occupy- 

 ing one-third the length of the abdomen. Legs, except the anterior 

 femora, but little thickened; four posterior tibiae each with two spurs.
