Descriptions of Neiv Species of Parasitic Hymenoptera. 125 



EHYNCHOTEEVOEIA, gen. nov. 



Head rostriform, the malar space half the length of the eyes. 

 Clypeus longish, narrowed to a rounded point below ; not separated 

 from the face ; the lateral fovea distinct. Maxillae long, projecting 

 beyond the mouth. Third joint of antennae twice the length of the 

 fourth. Apex of metanotum without a transverse keel ; its spiracles 

 small, oval. Metapleural keel distinct. Areolet with a long pedicle ; 

 disco-cubital nervure broadly rounded, not angled or broken by 

 a keel ; transverse median nervure almost interstitial ; the median 

 nervure in hind wings broken below the middle. Claws simple. 

 Legs slender. 



There are thirty-three joints in the antennae, all distinctly sepa- 

 rated ; the last is fully one-half longer than the penultimate. Basal 

 segments of the abdomen smooth, the others weakly aciculated, 

 almost smooth. Claws of moderate length, slender. Ovipositor 

 long. Abdomen sessile. 



The rostriform head and elongated trophi distinguish this genus. 

 In Ashmead's System it comes near to the American genus Trevor ia 

 Ashm. 



Ehynchotrevoeia eostrata, sp. nov. 



Head and thorax yellow; the ocellar region, the mark produced 

 below to the antennae, and incised in the middle behind ; the lower 

 part of the occiput in the centre below, a broad line on the basal 

 half of the mesonotum in the centre ; one on the apical two-thirds 

 close to the sides, narrower and curved inwards at the apex ; a 

 square mark near the sides of the scutellum at the base, two broad 

 lines on the basal half of the metanotum, straight on the outer side, 

 rounded on the inner, and a line on the outer and inner sides of the 

 hind coxae, black. The apices of the basal three segments of the 

 abdomen are yellow ; the first is broadly black in the middle ; 

 the rest rufous, tinged with black. Pour front legs and the hind 

 coxae and trochanters pale yellow ; the hinder fulvous. Wings 

 hyaline, the nervures and stigma black, the latter white at the 

 base. ? . 



Length 8 mm. ; terebra 4 mm. 



Cape Colony. Near Cape Town. 



Covered with a short white pile, closely punctured on the head 

 and thorax, the abdomen smooth, as are also the outer orbits and 

 the malar space and the apex of the clypeus. Apex of scutellum 

 broadly rounded, keeled round the lower edge. Pedicle of areolet
