disk slightly longer than broad at base, almost flat, with numerous 

 well-defined punctures ; the suture at the base of scutellum very nar- 

 row, so that the numerous pits within are scarcely distinguishable; 

 lateral face of the scutellum with the sculptured portion distinctly 

 larger than the semicircular polished area behind ; mesopleura mostly 

 polished, with a shallow longitudinal depression posteriorly; pro- 

 podeum mostly smooth and shining, with scattered punctures ; meta- 

 carpus shorter than the stigma, the radius about equal in length to tlie 

 transverse cubitus; posterior coxae mostly smooth and shining; 

 spurs of posterior tibiae equal in length and half as long as the 

 metatarsus; abdomen compressed on the apical half; first tergite 

 distinctly narrower at apex than at base, and hardly twice as long 

 as broad at base, punctate posteriorly, and with a shallow, median 

 longitudinal depression on the apical third; second tergite short 

 and transverse, at least three times as broad at apex as long down 

 the middle, longer medially than at the sides, the posterior margin 

 being arcuate, the plate more or less punctate; remainder of the 

 abdomen smooth and shining; hypopygium projecting somewhat be- 

 yond the apex of the last dorsal segment ; ovipositor sheaths broad, 

 two-thirds the length of the abdomen. Entirely black, including the 

 antennae, the tegulae, all legs entirely, and the abdomen above and 

 below ; wings hyaline, stigma and veins brown. 



Male. — Differs from the female only in the narrower abdomen, 

 and in the second abdominal tergite being smoother and not so short 

 and broad.

81. APANTELES SCUTELLARIS, new species. 



Female. — Length, 2.6 mm. Face short and broad, very minutely 

 and closely punctate and shining; vertex and temples indistinctly 

 punctate; antennae very short, distinctly shorter than the body; 

 mesoscutimi uniformly very shallowly punctate; scutellar disk 

 large, broad at base, rather flat, and covered with minute shallow 

 punctures; lateral face of scutellum with the anterior sculptured 

 portion larger than the polished area behind; mesopleura very 

 weakly minutely punctate on the anterior half, polished behind, 

 and with a broad, very shallow, shining longitudinal depression; 

 propodeum punctate, slightly rugulose medially, with a suggestion 

 of a median longitudinal carina; metacarpus hardly as long as 

 stigma ; radius very slightly longer than transverse cubitus, and unit- 

 ing with the latter in a rather sharp angle ; nervellus oblique but not 

 strongly curved; posterior coxae smooth and very shining; spurs of
