57.92 Stictometeorus (68.7) 



Description of a New Genus and Spezies 



of Meteorinae (Braconidae) from 



Cape Colony, Soutti Africa. 



By P. Cameron. 



Stictometeorus gen. nuv. 



Pterostigma lax'ge , semicircular , the radiu.s 

 issuing from shortly behind its middle ; I'^t ab- 

 scissa of radius straight , not oblique , twice the 

 length of the 2n'l, the radius not reaching to the 

 middle of the space between the stigma and 

 apex of the wing ; transverse median nervure 

 received beyond the transverse basal, the recurrent 

 nervure in the base of the 2'"! cubital cellule, 

 which is short, twice wider at the base than at 

 the apex ; the 2nd abscissa of cubitus roundly 

 curved backwards. Marginal cellule in hind 

 wings narrowed towards the apex, undevided. 

 Abdominal petiole slender, very slightly dilated 

 towards the apex, half the length of the rest of 

 the abdomen; the 2nd segment greatly enlarged, 

 almost as long as the thorax, the other segments 

 minute. Thorax stout, steeply sloped at base and 

 apex , transverse , but with the sides rounded ; 

 parapsidal furrows absent. Antennae 18-jointed, 

 placed above the middle of the face. Ctypeus 

 separated from the face by a furrow. Malar 

 space large, but not so long as the eyes. Man- 

 dibles with a long, upper, sharply-pointed tooth. 

 Occiput margined. Below the middle of the meta- 

 notum is a transverse keel. 



The Genera of Mefeonune are reduced by 

 Szépligeti to 2 — Meteoriis and Zemiote», distin- 

 guished by the latter having a devided radial 

 cellule in the hind wings. In this respect the 

 present genus agrees with Meteoriis , but it is 

 readily separated from it by the steeply sloped 

 base and apex of thorax, by the absence of parap- 

 sidal furrows , by th(> greatly enlarged 2nd ab- 



dominal segment, by the basal abscissa of radius 

 being longer than the 2nd ^ and by the much 

 smaller 2nd cubital cellule, narrowed towards the 

 apex. The type of the Genus looks more like 

 one of the Enjikoriiute than of the Meteorinae. 



Stictouieteorus nifus sp. nov. 



Rufous , the flagellum of antennae blackish 

 above on the basal half, the lower part and the 

 apex brownish , the mesonotum black ; the legs 

 and abdominal petiole paler , more yellowish 

 coloured than the body ; wings hyaline, the para- 

 stigma and stigma blackish , the costa and ner- 

 vures testaceous. $. Length 4 mm. 



Face, front and vertex closely, rather strongly 

 punctured , the temples more iinely and weakly 

 punctured, the clypeus still moi'e finely punctured. 

 Mesonotum and seutellum coarsely rugosely 

 punctured ; the mctanotum still more coarsely 

 punctured , almost reticulated , as are also the 

 whole of the pleurae. Tegulae rui'o- testaceous. 

 Abdomen very smooth and shining.
