Descriptions of Neto Species of Parasitic Hymenoptera. 91 



The alar neuration (including the unbroken transverse median 

 nervure in hind wings) is pretty much the same as in Agrypon and 

 Atrometus, but the toothed apex of clypeus separates it from these 

 genera. The hinder metatarsus is longer, compared with the other 

 joints, than it is in Agrypon. The two African species known to 

 me may be separated thus : — 



Mesonotum broadly black in the middle, hind coxee immaculate, 



front not keeled spilonotm. 



Mesonotum immaculate ; hind coxas broadly black in the middle; 



front keeled cariiii/rons. 



Odontageypon spilonotus, sp. nov. 



Eufous ; the face, clypeus, mandibles, except at apex, and palpi 

 yellow ; the greater part of the front, middle of vertex, occiput, the 

 middle of mesonotum broadly (the line dilated broadly at the base 

 and to a less extent at the apex), the parts bordering the scutellums, 

 the base of metanotum narrowly, the apex more broadly, the pro- 

 pleura, except for an elongated mark — somewhat triangular in 

 shape — above, the lower part of the mesopleurtfi broadly (the black 

 on the basal half extending higher up than on the apical), the base 

 narrowly — the line broadest above — and the lower half of the meta- 

 pleurtfi and the breast, black. Apical two segments of the abdomen 

 black. Legs of the rufous colour of the thorax. Antennae dark 

 rufous, the basal three joints black above, the scape yellowish 

 below. Wings hyaline, the stigma dark testaceous, the nervures 

 black. ^ and ? . 



Length 13-14 mm. 



Cape Colony. Stellenbosch. 



Head and thorax thickly covered with long white pubescence. 

 Face and clypeus closely, somewhat strongly punctured, except 

 along the edges ; the front and vertex are more strongly rugosely 

 punctured, the punctures running in the centre into reticulations. 

 Occiput strongly margined, sparsely punctured above. Pro- and 

 mesothorax strongly punctured, the punctures clearly separated; 

 the apex of mesonotum finely, closely transversely striated. 

 Scutellum, if anything, more strongly punctured than the meso- 

 notum. Median segment coarsely punctured ; in the centre the 

 punctures run into reticulations. 



■■'• Odontagrypon carinifrons, sp. nov. 

 Rufous ; the face, clypeus, mandibles, except at the apex and 

 palpi, yellow ; the greater part of the front, centre of vertex,
