and stigma dark brown, second recurrent nervure interstitial with the second 

 transverse cubitus. Dorsal abdominal segments finely transversely sculptured, 

 having a satiny lustre. Ovipositor about 29 mm. in length. 



Black. A line from malar space to apex of the eye, a band on the superior 

 border of the propleurse, a spot below on the tubercle, a spot on anterior coxae, 

 greater part of tegulae, a large spot beneath, a small spot on mesopleurse, a spot 

 on medial coxae, a short line to the side and apex of first, second, third, fourth, 

 fifth and sixth, and a lateral line on seventh dorsal segments; white. Greater 

 part of four anterior legs (excluding coxae) ochraceous. Apex of first, all of the

* Pimpla atrocoxalis Cress. 

 (Det. Ashm.) (T. D. A. Cockerell). 



Pimpla iieomexicaiia n. sp. — Clypeus distinctly impressed ; parapsidal 

 grooves almost obsolete, metanotum not areolated, truncate behind, the rim not 

 salient. Ovipositor equal to the length of the insect. 



9 Length 8.5 mm. Face convex, with distinct, separated punctures, becom- 

 ing smaller and obsolete on the margins. Cheeks shining, apparently impunc- 

 tate. Dorsulum with sparse, minute, indistinct punctures, polished especially 

 near the posterior margin. Parapsidal furrows not strongly defined, more like a 

 narrow longitudinal depression, not extending to the middle of the dorsulum. 

 Mesopleurae almost impunctate, polished ; the anterior longitudinal carina deli- 

 cate. Scutellum polished. Metanotum polished, sparsely punctured, with a longi- 

 tudinal median impression, not extending to the transverse carina. Metapleurae, 

 posterior wings, a transverse line on scutellum, postscutellum and metanotum, • 

 like mesopleurae, separated from metanotum by an imbedded carina. Wings 

 hyaline, with a dark cast; uervures dark brown; stigma paler; areolet sessile; 

 the cubiti almost uniting on the radial nervure. First abdominal segment with 

 a distinct longitudinal carina laterally, extending almost to the apex, polished 

 and sparsely punctate, with rather small punctures. Second dorsal segment im- 

 pressed, polished and bearing large sparse punctures ; the following dorsal seg- 

 ments (the apical ones excepted) all polished, impressed, more finely and closely 

 punctured ; the apical segments practically impunctate, shining. 



Black. Greater part of mandibles, a narrow interrupted line on inner orbits, 

 the superior margin of pleurae, tegulae, a spot beside and beneath, a spot beneath
