BORNEAN FIG-INSECTS (AGAONIDAE — HYMENOPTEKA CHALCIDOIDEA). 37 



and postmarginal stand about 20 bristles, some of which are double, i.e., one rising 

 from above and the other from below the membrane. Radius with 4-5 bristles and 

 three clear pustules. Hindwing (7 : 2) 0-66 mm. long. 



Legs. Fore coxa shorter (3 : 4) than femur ; the latter (12:5) much longer (8 : 3) 

 than the tibia, which bears four teeth (alternately long and short) at the antero- 

 dorsal apical angle; tarsus approximately 4:2:2:2:5, the first joint with 2-3 

 bristles along the dorsal edge. Mid femur (4:1) longer (9 : 8) than coxa and tro- 

 chanter combined, with four longish bristles in a median row anteriorly and 1-2 more, 

 nearer the dorsal edge, apically ; posteriorly there are 8-9 bristles, mainly on the 

 apical two-thirds, 4-5 as on the anterior aspect being in a median row, with the others 

 above, towards the dorsal edge. Tibia distinctly longer than femur, narrow (10 : 1) 

 on proximal two-thirds of its length, then rather abruptly expanding to the apex 

 (7 : 1) ; along the dorsal edge are about 14 bristles (of which five or six on the apical 

 third are longer), and one or two fewer on the ventral edge ; adchtional bristles occur 

 distally on both faces, so that the apical third of the tibia is distinctly bristly. Tarsus 

 longer than the tibia, its first two joints in ratio 11:7. Hind coxa externally naked, but 

 with about a dozen short bristles on inner surface— mainly on dorsal half ; femur (2:1) 

 not much longer (10 : 9) than coxa ; tibia (12 : 5) rather broad towards apex. Tarsus 

 with first joint twice the second in length ; chaetotaxy of first joint, dorsal 7-8, 

 anterior 12-13, ventral (plantar) 10 — all beyond basal third — posterior 8-9 bristles ; 

 those on anterior aspect the thinnest ; second joint 3-4, 8-9, 5-6, 5 ; third joint 

 2, 6, 4, 3. The plantar spines are stout and rise from definite sockets, the plantar 

 edge not being frayed or fimbriated. 



Abdomen. Tergites entire. The first (third) tergite bears over 30 minute bristles, 

 and the spiracle is enormous (fig. 1, /). Ovipositor barely projecting beyond the apex 

 of the abdomen. The length visible varies, according to pressure and relaxation of 

 the parts, from 0-04-07 mm. in a series of mounted examples. The last sternite 

 is truncated, except for a long, narrow median projection. Stylet (8:3). 



Length, 1-5-1 •9 mm.; alar expanse, 2 -8-3 -4 mm. 



(^. — Head length 0-45 mm. ; length of pronotum 0-35 mm. ; mesonotum 

 length 0-23 mm., breadth 0-4 mm; metanotum, length 0-175 mm., breadth 

 0-35 mm. ; propodeon, length 0-175 mm., breadth 0-35 mm. 



Head (fig. 1, g) twice as long as broad anteriorly and about one-third longer than 

 its maximum breadth. The bristles (1, 1) set just above the median lobe of the 

 clypeus are short — half as long as their basal distance apart. Antenna (fig. 1, h) 

 with buha about four-fifths the length of the scape (11 : 6) ; pedicel (4: 3) two- 

 thirds of the scape. Funicle (three joints) twice as long as the scape, its first joint 

 triangular in profile ; fourth joint shorter (6 : 7) than fifth, but both greater than 

 the pedicel, which is only five-ninths of the fifth. 



The propodeon is remarkably broad posteriorly (fig. 1, ^). 



Legs. Fore femur over twice as long as broad and more than two and one-third 

 times the tibia (excluding the apical tooth) in length ; tibia longer (10 : 7) than the 

 tarsus and not equal to the greatest breadth of the femur. Mid coxa, femur, tibia, 

 and tarsus subequal — the coxa very slightly the longest ; femur very convex dorsally 

 and subangulate at one-third from the apex ; apex of tibia with two teeth at upper 

 angle, one laterally and externally and two ventrally. Hind coxa (2:1), or with 

 membranous flange (10 : 7), shorter (10 : 11) than femur (4:3); tibia (5 : 2) not quite 

 three-quarters the length of the femur and as long as the tarsus, bearing 4-5 teeth 

 apically — counting both sides ; tarsus sparsely set with bristles, one (lateral and 

 preapical) on joints 1-4 being longer. 



Length, up to about 2 mm.
