the rounded apex of the middle lobe of mesonotum with stout 

 striae. Scutellum roundlj' convex, sparsely punctured. Area on 

 metanotum with some stout, irregular keels, its sides irregulavlj- 

 rugosely punctured, more strongly at the apex than at the base. 

 The curved depression on the lower part of the mesopleurae has 

 some irregular keels ; the metapleurae coarsely punctured, almost 

 reticulated. Legs densely pilose ; their hind coxae not much 

 lengthened. The temples are rounded, not narrowed. 



Apanteles basimacula, sp. nov. 



Black ', the basal 2 segments of abdomen whitish testaceous, 

 the 4 front legs testaceous, tinged with fulvous, their coxa3 black ; 

 the hind legs black, a band, slightly longer than the black base, 

 close to the base of the hind tibiae and the calcariae whitish

First abdominal segment slightly, but distinctly longer than

 the apex, slightly longer than the 2nd, which is again slightly 

 longer than the 3rd ; the basal 3 segments with a smooth, slightly 

 raised line down the centre ; alutaceous ; the other segments 

 smooth and shining, Palpi testaceous. Pro- and mesonotum 

 alutaceous, almost punctured; metanotum. rugulose, stoutly keeled 

 down the centre; on the sides at the apex are 2 short keels, the 

 outer straight, the inner curved. Pro- and mesopleurae closely 

 punctured, the apex of the former and a large spot on the apex of 

 the latter in the centre smooth and shining ; the metapleurse 

 rugosely punctured, with a smooth space on the upper half at the 

 base. The basal abscissa of radius, the 1st (and only) transverse 

 cubital nervure, the cubitus beyond the latter (this part separated 

 from the basal branch by a bulla) are thickened, the other parts 

 faint and narrow ; the radius from the areolet narrow and faint.
