PHYTOPHAGOUS AND PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA. 105 



scutellum is much more distinctly raised — more convex, and clearly- 

 longer than wide ; the temples are shorter and not so obliquely 

 narrowed, the malar space smaller, the eyes being longer, and the 

 upper tooth of the mandibles is longer and more sharply pointed. 



6. — Tanyphatnus multimaculatus , sp. nov. 



Black, the face, clypeus, mandibles, palpi, the inner orbits, the 

 outer, narrowly above, broadly below, the upper and lower edge of 

 prothorax, prosternum, the sides of scutellum, narrowly at the base, 

 more broadly towards the apex, scutellum, a broad band of equal 

 width on the base of metanotum, extending from tlie base to the 

 posterior median area ; the apical slope, except the latter area, the 

 yellow extending on to the pleurae, a mark behind the spiracles, the 

 lower third of the mesopleurae, the apex of the first abdominal seg- 

 ment and broad marks , closely continuous, on the apices of the other 

 segments, yellow. Four front legs rufo-yellow, their coxae and tro- 

 chanters yellow ; the hind legs rufous, the coxae black, broadly yellow 

 at the base above, the base of the tibiae broadly yellow. Wings 

 hyahne, the stigma and nervures black, 6. 



Length 13 mm. 



Pundalu-oya. 



Face and clypeus punctured, but not strongly or closely. Front 

 with some minute punctures. Mesonotum sparsely, irregularly 

 punctured. Base and areola of metanotum smooth ; the rest 

 closely and strongly punctured, thickly covered with long fuscous 

 hair. Pleurae closely and strongly punctured, the meta irregularly 

 striated. Basal segment with the post-petiole closely finely striated 

 in the middle ; the second to fourth more strongly on the basal 

 haK. 



The gastrocoeh are large, deep, smooth. Transverse median 

 nervure interstitial. The areola is not separated behind, where 

 there is no obhque depression ; it is clearly separated from the 

 lateral areae, is slightly narrowed in the middle, more than twice 

 longer than wide, and transverse at the apex ; the apex of the seg- 

 ment has a gradually rounded slope , without teeth. The ventral fold 

 is on segments two to four. 



Stictichneumon, gen. nov. 

 Clypeus separated from the face by a deep, wide furrow which 

 unites .with the lateral foveae ; its apex not quite transverse. Are- 

 ola horseshoe-shaped, longer than wide, clearly separated behind; 

 the petiolar area confluent with lateral. Scutellum roundly convex ; 

 roundly sloped at the base and apex ; its basal half keeled. Petiole
