PHYTOPHAOOFS ANT) PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA. 123 



nervure, which is about one-fourth shorter than the apical abcissa of 

 the disco-cubital nervure ; third discoidal cellule short and wide, in 

 length not much more than twice its width at the apex. Transverse 

 basal nervure interstitial. The horny spot is broadly rounded 

 above, shghtly, gradually narrowed to the apex which is transverse ; 

 the apical spot is much smaller, about three times longer than wide, 

 obhque at the base, narrowed at the apex, ?. 



Length 1 1 - 1 2 mm . 



Peradeniya, June. 



Smooth and shining ; the upper half of the mesopleurse finely 

 punctured, the lower finely, closely, longitudinally striated. Basal 

 slope of metanotum with a keel in the centre and one on the sides ; 

 the basal region smooth, the apical almost smooth in the centre, the 

 sides transversely striated. Apex .of clypeus broadly rounded. 



This species is readily known from the other species here described 

 by the wide, as compared with its length, third discoidal cellule 



31. — Eniscospilus unilineatus, sp. nov 



Pallid testaceous, the head pale lemon-yellow ; the third and 

 following segments of the abdomen fuscous ; a deep, black, broad 

 line in the centre of the middle lobe of the mesonotum, the meso- 

 sternum black ; the apex of the first and the second abdominal 

 segments are more rufous in colour. Legs coloured like the thorax, 

 the femora deeper in tint. Wings hyaline, the nervures and stigma 

 black : the basal horny point is pyriform and is followed by a less 

 distinct curved line ; beyond it is a small square spot, ?. 



Length 17 mm. 



Peradeniya, July 



Antennae rufous, the scape and the basal 10-11 joints of flagellum 

 blackish. Head shining, impunctate ; the apex of clypeus broadly 

 rounded. Mesonotum shining, covered with a pale pubescence. 

 Basal half of scutellum keeled laterally. Base of metanotum 

 smooth, irregularly transversely striated laterally, the centre irregu- 

 larly stoutly reticulated ; the apical slope with some stout, irregular, 

 roundly curved keels. Proj)leur3e smooth, indistinctly obUquely 

 striated below. Mesopleurae closely, finely punctured. Metapleurae 

 finely rugose, the upper part with some stout, oblique striae. 



32. — Eniscospilus dasychirce , sp. nov 



Pallid luteous, the abdomen darker coloured, especially towards 

 the apex ; the head pallid yellow ; antennae rufous. Wings hyaline, 

 the stigma, costa, and basal abcissa of radius testaceous ; there is 

 one small pyriform horny point ; the transverse cubital nervure
