Female. — Length, 7 mm. Head and thorax brownish to stramin- 

 eous; face sliining and punctured; thorax shining and punctured, 

 parapsidal furrow represented only anteriorl^^ by a shallow con- 

 cavity^; legs more or less stramineous, the hind tibiae infuscated at 

 base and on the apical half, hind tarsi blackish, tooth of hind femora 

 represented by an angulation of the tegument the point of which is 

 directed downward and backward; carinse of the propodeum poorly 

 developed, basal area forming an acute angled triangle, areola com- 

 pletely inclosed, more than twice as long as wide from costula to 

 costula and punctured, basal area about twice as long as "wide, paral- 

 lel sided and striato-punctate; abdomen brownish, the membranous 

 portion stramineous, first, second, and basal half of third dorsal seg- 

 ments blackish, petiolar carinse not sharp, not extending to the

 ovipositor approximately two-thirds as long as the abdomen. 



Type.— C^i. No. 14333, U.S.N.M. 



Type-locality.— 'Bsiiigiilove, Mysore, IncUa. Reared from larvae of 

 Euzophera perticella, on authority of L. C. Coleman, who submitted 

 the species for study. 



ZAMESOCHORUS, new genus. 



Apparently intermediate between Plesiophthalmus (Foerster) 

 Brischke, Astiphromma (Foerster) Brischke, and Mesocliorus Graven- 

 horst, though evidently nearest to the last-mentioned genus, from 

 which it may be known by the malar space being almost wanting, 

 the malar line being apparently as short or shorter than the first joint 

 of the flagel is thick; by the malar space not being separated from 

 the face by a furrow; by the distance between the lateral ocelli and 

 the eye being less than the shortest diameter of the lateral ocelli ; by 

 the distance between the lateral ocelli being greater than the distance 

 between them and the eye; by the interstitial nervulus and the 

 obsolescent outer vein of the areolet, the latter Avith its lower side 

 approximately half the length of the upper edge, its other sides nearly 

 equal in length. Otherwise essentially as in Mesocliorus Gravenhorst. 



Type. — ZamesocTiorus orientalis, new species. 



ZAMESOCHORUS ORIENTALIS, new species. 



Female. — ^Length, 3.5 mm. Head shining, stramineous, more or 

 less darkened, the oceUar region blackish; face punctured, orbits 

 striated below; antennae brownish, flagel 33-jointed; prothorax 

 stramineous, shining, pronotum with a median longitudinal carina 

 parting its furrow; mesonotum shining, more or less stramineous, its 

 prescutum and parapsides stained with fuscous; tegulae and wing
