Braconidae. 



Ghelonus Rohertianus, sp. nov. 



Black : the knees and the anterior tibiae dark testaceous : an 

 obscure testaceous spot on the sides of the basal abdominal seg- 

 ment ; the wings hyaline, the stigma blackish, the nervures paler. 



Length nearly 2 m.m. 



Hab. -Pearston, South Africa. Dr. Rol)ert Broom, C.M.Z.S., 

 Antennae not qui^e so long as the body, l(S-jointed. Head 

 shining, alutaceous : the front with a pyriform depression. 

 Thorax closely and finely punctured the scutellum is less 

 strongly punctured and is more shining, there is a fine 

 transversa keel across the apex of the mesonotum : immediately 

 l)ehind it is a striated band : there is a shining, smooth band at 

 the sides of the post-scutellum. In the centre of the median seg- 

 ment are 2 longitudinal keels ; ihe sides in the ^ centre are 

 indistinctly toothed ; the segmeiit is more coarsely punctured 

 than the mesothorax ; the metapleur?e at the base obscurely 

 striated. Abdomen roundly convex above : almost uniformly 

 finely rugose, the apex finely obscurely reticulated : it is slightly, 

 but distinctly, shorter than the head and thorax united and longer 

 than the latter ; the sides, next to the ventral surface, are keeled : 

 the ovipositor projects, — the apical segment bluntly rounded. 

 Pterostigma large, broadly rounded below ; the radius issues from 

 its centre, its basal abscissa is short, straight, oblique ; the apical 

 is slightly roundly curved downwards, the 1st transverse cubital 

 nervure is almost obsolete, as is also the cubitus beyond it.

Black : the clypeus, a narrow line on the base of the pro- 

 notum, post-scutellum, the apex of the 1st and 2nd abdominal 

 segments all round, the apices of the 4th to 7th beneath, and a 

 narrow line on the outer orbits, yellow ; the antennae for the 

 greater part beneath a narrow line on the apex of the pronotum, 

 the propleuras, except at the apex above, tegulfe, a mark below the 

 tegulae on the mesopleurae, the scutellum, except narrowly in the 

 centre, the sides of the metanotum broadly, the dilated part
