4. Entirely black ; petiole obliquely striate javanica Westwood, Java. 



Prothoiax and mesothorax, anterior part of the nietajileurai and anterior coxae 



red ; petiole smooth and polished Mchleltereri n. sp., Java. 



Zeuxevania schlettereri n. sp. 



(Figs. 32, .50.80.) 



9 . — Black, except the prothoiax and mesothorax, anterior part of the meta- 

 pleurae and the anterior coxae are red ; the anterior tibiae and less distinctly the 

 middle tibite are yellowish-brown; base of the posterior tibiae and trochanters 

 white. Slightly sericeous. Head seen from above subglobular; posterior mar- 

 gin truncate; deep behind the eyes, which are not prominent; the postero-laterai 

 corners slightly rounded. The profile is broad, the eye moderately long, only 

 slightly oblique; the temples only slightly widened below; the antennae inserted 

 on the convex forehead at about the lower third of the eye; malar space about 

 one-third the length of the eye or less. Face from in front almost round. 

 Entire head very minutely, rather closely punctate, appearing smooth under a 

 low power; a carina separating the cheeks and face; two short tooth-like pro- 

 cesses just below the antennae; ocelli forming an equilateral triangle; the poste- 

 rior ones about equally far from each other and from the compound eyes; 

 autennse filiform, the scape little longer than joint three, the latter subequal to 

 joint four, and more than twice as long as the pedicel. 



The humeral angles rounded; the mesonotuni, mesoveuter and scutellum 

 punctured similarly to the head ; the upper part of the mesopleurae variously 

 finely punctured, wrinkled or smooth ; the rest of the propodeum shallowly 

 reticulate; the furcula with divergent tynes, hut these are very small and at first 

 glance one would be led to think it truncate and without tynes; the middle and 

 posterior coxae are placed close together. 



The wings are hyaline, a little dusky at the apex (Fig. SO). The legs are mod- 

 erately elongate; the posterior coxse closely punctured ; the tibia^ and tarsi with- 

 out distinct spines; the longer tibial spur two-thirds as long as the metatarsus- 

 the latter as long as joints 2-4 together; the claw Infid, with a stout itmer ray 

 and a much more slender outer ray (Fig. 50). 



Petiole smooth and polished ; abdomen nearly round, the pygidium not pro- 

 duced. 



One ptiratype has the apex of the petiole white. 



I take pleasure in dedicating this species to Dr. August Schlett-
