Descriptions of New Species of Parasitic Hymcnoptcra. 107 



Wings yellowish hyaline, their apex smoky ; the disco-cubital 



nervuie not broken ; head black, antennae not ringed flavipennu. 



h. Thorax and abdomen red. 



Wings smoky, with two small hyaline clouds near the apex ; 



hind tibiae not entirely black fumipennis. 



Wings yellowish hyaline, with smoky clouds on the apical half ; 



hind tibiae entirely black pulchripennis. 



Obs. The Malayan genus Phalega, Cam. (Entomologist, 1905, 170) 

 is closely related to Paracollyria ; it may be known by the dentate 

 apex of clypeus, bidentate mandibles, and by the transverse median 

 nervure in hind wings not being broken so near the top. 



Paracollyria ruficollis, sp. nov. 



Black, the head, mandibles, except at the apex, and the pro- 

 thorax, except the proplem-ae above narrowly, red; the wings fuscous- 

 violaceous, the nervures and stigma black ; there is a clear hyaline 

 cloud on the outer side of the recurrent nervure and touching it, 

 which extends from the costa to the discoidal nervure. 2 . 



Length 15 mm. ; terebra 8 mm. 



Southern Ehodesia. Sebakwe. 



Face and centre of clypeus punctured, but neither closely nor 

 strongly. Malar space two-thirds of the length of the eyes. Upper 

 apical part of the propleurse weakly punctured ; the crenulated 

 apical furrow commences shortly above the middle. Base and 

 lower part of the mesopleurae sparsely punctured ; the apex beyond 

 the crenulated furrow is much more closely and distinctly punctured. 

 There are two keels down the base of the metanotum ; between the 

 middle and the apical keel there is a strong belt of stout, irregular, 

 transverse striae, bordered on the outer side by a longitudinal one. 

 The abdominal petiole is as long as the following three segments 

 united, 



Paracollyria flavipennis, sp. nov. 



Black ; the lower half of the clypeus, labrum, mandibles, except at 

 the apex, palpi and four front legs, rufo-testaceous, the middle coxae 

 black on the outer side. Wings yellowish hyaline, the nervures and 

 stigma yellow; a small cloud below the apex of the disco-cubital 

 nervure, not touching the recurrent nervure, a small cloud below it 

 and a cloud round the apex, widest in the cubital cellule and below 

 extending not far from the discoidal nervure. 3 . 



Length 17 mm. 



Natal. Newcastle.
