black ; there is one dark horny point, broadly transverse below, 

 roundly narrowed in front, the base rounded, the apex slightly 

 I'ounded inwardly. Transverse cubital nervure two-thirds of the 

 length of the recurrent, which is more than twice its length from it. 

 Scutellum yellow, its apical half irregularly striated. Base of 

 metanotum smooth; the base of the apical part smooth, except for a 

 few irregular stride ; the centre with roundly curved irregular striae ; 

 the apex smooth. Propleurse almost smooth, the centre of the 

 mesopleurao finely, closely striated except above ; metapleurse below 

 the keel finely, irregularly striated ; the spiracular area coarsely, 

 irregularly, obliquely striated, much more strongly towards the 

 apex than at the base. Metastemal keel stout, curved at base and 

 apex, the base dilated. 



Brulle (Hymen. IV., 145) describes an 0. plicatus from Java 

 which has three black marks on the mesonotum ; but it is an Ophion, 

 not an Eniscospilus , it having no horny points in the wings.

 about one-fourth shorter than the recurrent. Scutellar keels stoutei' 

 than usual. Basal depression of metanotum stoutly closely striated, 

 more closely in the centre than on the sides ; the base smooth ; the 

 rest closely reticulated, less closely at the base, where there are some
