wide. The long spur of liind tibiae fully one third of the 

 length of the metatarsus. Post-scutellnra bordered laterally 

 and behind. 



Comes near to Urogaster Ashmead ; it may be known by 

 the antennae having more than 18-joints. The number of joints 

 in the anten nee, the distinct shining, areola of metanotum, 

 clearly furrowed sides of scutellum and long ovipositor should 

 enable the genus to be recognized. 



Holcapanteles sulciscutis sp. nov. 



Black, alutaceous, the apex of femora, tibiœ and tarsi rufo- 

 testaceous ; mandibles and palpi testaceous ; wings clear hyaline, 

 the stigma and nervures whitish testaceous. 5.

Passuruan. On flowers of Blnmea lacera D. C (Kobus leg.). 



Thorax and abdomen opaque, the mesonotum and scutellum 

 finely, closely, minutely punctured. First abdomen segment 

 as wide as long, slightly narrowed at the base ; the centre 

 raised, bordered laterally and at the base by a flat furrow ; 

 the lateral being wider than the basal ; the transverse furrow 

 at the base of 2"*^ segment moderately wide, distinct, transverse. 

 Hypopygium broad, projecting considerably beyond the apex 

 of the abdomen. There is a narrow, deep, shining, slightly 

 oblique furrow above the propleune ; the apex of the meso- 

 pleurai is smooth and shining ; below, leading to the coxœ, 

 is a wide furrow with obliquely sloped sides; the apex of the 

 hind tibiœ is broadly marked with black ; the hind tarsi also 

 marked with black. From the base of the furrow bordering 

 the scutellum, a sïiuilar, but slightly wider, furrow runs to
