438 ICJBLNEUMOKID^. 



the post petiole, shorter metathorax, very much shorter metatarsi,, 

 and especially the ohtuse lower apical angle of the discoidal cell, 

 which in the latter is a little more than rectangular, appear to 

 render it sufficiently distinct. 



The type was bred at !Surat from its own cocoon, which is six 

 millimetres in length, didl ochreous, with black markings stronger 

 at the extremities, with a pedicle of about four millimetres in 

 length, stout, and weakly M-o\en of many strands, at tlie end of 

 which it doubtless swung free.

Type. No. 3264 in the United States Museum. 



I have not seen this species, which must be quite distinct in 

 its red legs, excarinate metathorax, discally black scape and black 

 <5 abdomen, from either of the preceding, 



A single pair was bred by Mr. Green from the larva of a species 

 of Eupterote.
