46 p. CAMERON, HYMKXOPTERA OF THK DUTCH EXPEDITION 



the S""*^, 4*'^ and 5"^ are closely, strongly punctured. Areolet 

 4-angled, shortly, but clearly appendiculated. Basal half of 

 mesonotum closely punctured in the middle, the apex and 

 sides smooth. 



The cT is similarly coloured, except that the 6'^^ segment 

 bears 2 transverse marks ; the last segment is broadly black 

 at the base. 



Xanthopimpla papuana sp. nov. 



Length 12 m.m. ; terebra 1 m.m. ç. 

 Etna Bay. 



Very similar to X. sulcata, but paler ; the 2 may be sepa- 

 rated thus : 



Ovipositor as long as the tarsi ; the basal keels of 

 metanotum roundly curved an the innerside ; basal 

 segment of abdomen hardly one half longer than the 



width at the apex Sulcata. 



Ovipositor as long as the basal 2 joints of the tarsi; 



the basal 2 keels of metanotum straight, oblique on 



the innerside, the basal segment of abdomen about 



twice longer than the width at the apex . Papuana. 



Face closely punctured, not much longer than wide ; apex 



of clypens slightly rounded inwardly. Labrum large, longer 



than the width at the base, gradually roundly narrowed to a 



point, curled outwardly at the apex. Parapsidal furrows deep, 



not reaching to the middle, the basal half of middle lobe 



closely punctured, the rest of the mesonotum smooth. Scutellar 



keels broad, narrow, of equal height. There is a short stump 



of a keel at the end of the inner angle of the basal keel, the 



areola thus being only open laterally at the apex ; the spira- 



cular area is not defined. The abdominal segments are rufous 



testaceous in the middle, the base and apex of the segments 



are pale yellow ; the P* is longish but not twice longer than
