28. LEUCOSPIS BAKERI Crawford. 



Leucospis bakeri Crawford, Philippine Journ. Sci., vol. 9, no.5, Sec. D, 1914, 

 pp. 457-458. 



The type, female, is in the United States National Museum, Cat. 

 No. 18402. In his description of the female of this species, Craw- 

 ford states "male unknown." Since the publication of his descrip- 

 tion (1914) the United States National Museum has received from 

 C. F. Baker an additional female and one male collected at the 

 type locality, Los Baiios, Philippine Islands, It has also received 

 a female taken by E. A. McGregor (June, 1918), at Cuias Panay, 

 Philippine Islands (later sent to Cornell University through ex- 

 change) and a female collected at Manila, Philippine Islands, by 

 C. S. Banks. 



The following description of the male of this species is given to 

 supplant the original description. 



Male. — Length, 5 mm. Eesembles female of species in structure 

 and coloration with foUow^ing differences : smaller size, rufous color 

 more suppressed; subquadrate reddish spot on disk of mesoscutum 

 and median reddish spot on propodeum wanting, as are also the two 

 large yellow spots on second abdominal segment, and the two small 

 yellow spots on the spiracle-bearing (seventh) segment near apex 

 ("fourth" of Crawford). Instead of the two elongated spots on 

 apex of female, one on either side of the ovipositor, the male has a 

 single large median spot on apex. There are two transverse yellow 

 bands on the male abdomen as in the female, the front band some- 

 what farther behind the narrow constricted portion of the abdomen 

 than in the female, the posterior band in about the same relative posi- 

 tion, but not dilated so much laterally. In the type, female, there 

 are nine smaller teeth (Crawford says about six) following the krge 

 basal tooth on hind femur, and there are probably the same number 

 in the male, although only eight are distinguishable, on account of 

 the position of the tibia, the last three of which are much crowded. 



Habitat. — Philippine Islands, Los Banos. 



29. LEUCOSPIS MACULATA, new species. 



In Schletterer's key this species runs nearest to brevicauda Fab- 

 ricius, but differs from it in having a large fuscous spot toward apex 

 of fore wing, in arrangement of teeth on ventral side of hind femur, 

 and in color markings. 



Medium size; black with yellowish markings; ovipositoi^ about one- 

 Jialf length of abdomen; fore wing with fuscous spot near apex. 



Female. — Length, 8.3 mm. Body black with following parts red- 

 dish yellow : Scape ; a transverse band near front margin of pronotum 

 which dilates into triangular spots laterally; a broader band on
