NOTES ON COCCIU-IXFH.STINO CHALCIDOIDEA -IT. 251 



Head, I'loni in front, wider than deep (23 : 20) ; eyes reaching downwards barely 

 beyond one-half, separated at the nearest by one-fifth to one-sixth the width of the 

 head, and at the base line by nearly the entire width (five-sixths). Toruli sub- 

 triangular, the base of the triangle (dorsal in position) with the upper angles rounded, 

 separated from one another superiorly by twice, and inferiorly from the mouth-ed^e 

 by once their own length ; mouth-opening three-eighths as broad as the head. The 

 refringent vertex and upper frons show the usual fine raised thick- walled reticulation : 

 lower face narrowly smooth along the mid line ; genae with fine striae, smooth : 

 the hollows for the scapes occupy nearly all the lower face from in front, and their 

 surface is regular raised-reticulate ; between the toruli and above the mouth-edge 

 the pattern is finer. Parallel with the clypeal edge is a row of 5-6 bristles, and above 

 the mouth-edge and to the level of the toruli, as well as between the latter, the surface 

 is densely set with short bristles, of which one or two straggle up the mid line towards 

 the frontal ridge ; on the genae are a few stronger bristles, and there are 5-6 before 

 the genal keel, at the edge between the flattened and unflattened surfaces of the 

 lower frontal angles. 



Antennae (fig. 7 6) : length, -93 nmi. : scape as long as the pedicel, first and second 

 joints of the funicle together ; or as the club alone ; or a little more than half the 

 funicle ; ring-joint minute, concealed ; the pedicel is remarkably produced belo^^■. 



Mouth-parts : for the mandibles see fig. 7 c ; joints of maxillary palpus, 15 : 1(' : 

 ] 4 : 30 ; 4 of the apical bristles long, one longer than the joint itself. 



Thorax. Pronotum : pattern much coarser below the spiracle; posterior row 

 (•f bristles about 20 ; sternite and episternite with the same pattern as the overlap : 

 the former with over 30 bristles, chiefly posteriorly. Mesonotum : reticulation of 

 the mid lobe finest and most raised, of the scutellum coarser, and of the axillae 

 least raised ; mesonotum entirely covered with short, stift" bristles, 5 on the axillae, 

 about 40 (20 : 20) on the scutellum, with two sensory pustules, very close to one 

 another, behind one-half. Mesopleurae : at the upper anterior angle near the 

 episternite, whose pattern it reproduces, the pleura has a more regular reticulation, 

 which passes quickly into one long-drawn-out, so that with a moderate power (up to 

 X 50) the sides of the thorax appear finely striate throughout their entire length. 



Propodeon medianly linear, descending, expanded, with, two triangular lateral areas 

 surrounding the rather large oval spiracle, from which 7-9 rugae pass backwards: 

 3-4 antero-lateral bristles beside the spiracle ; postero-laterally the surface i^ 

 reticulate. 



Wings. Fore wings (fig. 7 a): a little over twice as long as broad ; length, 

 M5 mm. ;^ breadth, •50 mm.; submarginal : marginal: radius: post-marginal, 

 as 40 : 7 : 5 : 3. Twelve bristles on the submarginal vein ; 6-7 along the middle of 

 the marginal and 5 (the last much longer) at the edge, on the marginal and post- 

 marginal combined, with numerous shorter ones on the under surface ; one loner 

 bristle on the radius near the base, and 1-2 on the anterior edge. The clear spot 

 between the post-marginal and radius is nearly bare (1-2 small bristles). Hind 

 wings : length, -9 mm. ; breadth, -3 mm. The vein lies along the costa, on its basal 

 iialf, and the cell is nearly obliterated apically ; 8-9 bristles on the apical half of the 

 vem, 9 minute bristles above the hooks : discal ciliation regular and leaving only a 

 small basal triangle, within which is an isolated patch of bristles near the vein
