PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA FROM THE SIKKIM HLAEALAYA. 105 



parapsidal furrows distinct, narrow, not reaching to the middle. 



Miophatnus, gen. no v. 



Areolet large, wide, not narrowed in front, 5-angled ; the 

 recurrent nervure received in the middle; the transverse median 

 nervure received behind the transverse basal; transverse median 

 in hind wings broken shortly below the middle. Metanotum 

 coarsely, irregularly transversely striated except at the base 

 where it is punctured and at the apex where it is almost 

 smooth. Legs long, the claws simple. Apex of clypeus obli- 

 quely depressed, transverse. Labrum large, rounded. Meta- 

 pleural keel narrow, distinct. Eyes large, parallel. There is a 

 distinct malar space. Abdominal petiole smooth, shining, of 

 equal width throughout. Disco-cubital nervure unbroken. 



The areolet is as in the Cri/ptinae, rather than in the 

 Pimplinae. In Ashmead's arrangement the genus would come 

 in near Trevoria. The antennas are longer than the body, and 

 densely covered with stia' erect hair. The temples are roundly 

 narrowed. 



MiopJiatnus iiigromaculatus, sp. nov. 



Light sulphur-yellow ; the upper part of the antennal scape, 

 the flagellum, apex of mandibles, the centre of front broadly, 

 the mark continued on to the vertex, where it becomes grad- 

 ually widened behind the ocelli, extending on to the upper 

 part of the occiput broadly, the mark becoming gradually 

 narrowed laterally, the base and sides of mesonotum broadly, 

 apex of scutellum, post-scutellum, a broad, irregular baud on 

 the middle of metanotum, more than the basal half of the 

 basal 3 segments of the abdomen and the others more nar- 

 rowly, black. Legs fulvous, yellow at the base, the apex of 

 the hinder coxse broadly, irregularly black. Wings hyaline, 

 the stigma and nervures blackish. <^.
