Descriptions of New Species of Parasitic Hymenoptcra. 21 



somewhat longer than the following two joints united ; the second 

 is fully twice longer than thick ; the third three times longer than it 

 and longer than the fourth. Metasternal keel long, narrow, distinct ; 

 the forks are short (hai'dly one-fourth of the length of the keel), 

 stout, obliquely diverging, straight. The second and third abscissae 

 of the radius form an angle at their junction below ; the apical is 

 faint towards the top. 



EVANIA FULVOSPINA, Sp. nOV. 



Black, the calcaria fulvous; the tibiae and tarsi weakly spinose ; 

 wings hyaline, the nervures and stigma black. Face coarsely, 

 sharply, obliquely striated ; the malar space more finely, irregularly, 

 obUquely striated. Metasternal process short, broad, rounded at the 

 apex, diverging, the basal part broad, hollowed in the centre, finely 

 rugose. Flagellum of antennae long, longer than the following two 

 joints united ; the second joint fully twice longer than thick ; the 

 fourth not one-fourth longer than the fifth. Apex of clypeus broadly 

 roundly incised. Malar space slightly longer than the third joint. 

 Base of thorax rounded. Mesonotum coarsely, rugosely punctured, 

 without parapsidal furrows ; scutellum and metanotum closely 

 reticulated. Propleurae coarsely reticulated. Mesopleurae weakly, 

 irregularly reticulated, smooth at the base in the middle. Median 

 segment closely reticulated all over. Abdominal petiole rugosely 

 punctured, one-third longer than the metanotum. Transverse 

 median and recurrent nervures interstitial. Apical abscissa of 

 radius oblique, slightly curved in front, straight below ; it is as long 

 as the second and the half of the first. Palpi testaceous. 



The front is keeled down the middle and closely, obliquely striated 

 on either side of the keel ; it is thickly covered with white pubes- 

 cence ; the vertex behind the ocelli coarsely reticulated ; the temples 

 obscurely punctured-reticulated and thickly covered with white 

 pubescence. Hind coxae rugosely punctured.

 means of the following table : — 



1. Hind tibiae annulatecl or marked with white at the base, 

 the fore legs more or less white, the mesonotum largely red.
