MIRINI. 

 Coelopencyrtus orbi n. sp. Figs. 11-13. 



Female: Similar to Coelopencyrtus odyiicri l)Ut the head is distinct- 

 ly wider than long, instead of nearly as long as wide, the face and 

 cheeks shorter, the oral margin of face hardly produced medially ; fronto- 

 vertex wider or about twice as long as wide, slightly widening behind 

 the ocelli but hardly at all anteriorly, the ocelli in an equilateral tri- 

 angle, the posterior pair not more than their own diameter from the 

 occipital margin. Antennae a little shorter and stouter, the pubescence 

 more prominent and bristle-like, the scape distinctly wider, the funicle 

 joints rnore transverse but keeping practically the same relative propor- 

 tion to each other. Sculpture of the same type, although somewhat coars- 

 er, especially on the frontovertex and scutellum, the pin-punctures of the 

 frontovertex more prominent. Pubescence nuich sparser, the eyes bare, 

 the mesonotal bristles not more than one-half as nimierous. there being 

 about sixteen along the anterior margin of the mcsoscutnm and ten 

 along the po.sterior margin. 



Length: (i.oo to) 1.38; width of vertex at ocelli: 0.164; width of 

 mesoscntum : 0.473; length of fore-wing: T.T3; width of fore-wing: 

 0.490 mm. 



Coloration much as in odynrri but the mesoscutum does not have 

 the brassy reflections, the scutellum is more metallic with a dark 

 purplish luster, more greenish toward the sides ; legs almost entirely 

 black, but the middle tibial spur is yellowish and the tarsi are more 

 or less yellowish or yellowish brown beneath and varying from brown 

 to fu.scous above but always blackish at apex of the last joint. Wings 

 more deeply stained, being darker on the basal half and with a dis- 

 tinct fuscous streak at the base along the posterior margin. 



Male: Head w-ith the same remarkable structure as in odyncri but 

 thinner fronto-occipitalK'. being onl\' twice as thick above as at the 

 oral margin, and as seen from in front it is no longer than wide 

 and more nearly circular ; frontovertex no longer than wide, the frons 

 less protuberant and projecting less in front of the eyes; ocelli in a right- 

 angled triangle, the anterior ocellus just reaching to a line drawn across 

 the anterior margin of the eyes, the posterior pair hardly more than 

 their own diameter from the occipital margin. Scape (Figs, u, 13) as 

 wide as in odyneri but more nearly like sz^'cccyi in shape, the upper mar- 

 gin being curved arcuately inward, the lower margin evenly and strongly 

 convex; pedicel with a large conical projection at base on the upper side, 

 otherwise about a third longer again than thick; first funicle joint as 

 wide as long, narrowed somewhat towards the base but not remarkably 

 modified as in odyncri or stvc::cyi, following funicle joints all transverse, 

 about equally long and increasing .slightly in width distad ; club as long 

 as the last three funicle joints combined, ci^nsiderably wider than the 

 funicle and not strongly inclined as in odyncri.
