TWO NEW SPECIES OF AGATHIN^ FROM BORNEO. 229 



very close to the modern genus Apis ; separable subgenerically, 

 perhaps, because the basal nervure meets, or almost meets, the 

 transverso-medial, as m Mellpona. As there is no reason to 

 suppose that it has anything to do with Osmia carbonum (which, 

 in any event, is indeterminate), and since it cannot be reconciled 

 with A. dormitans, it may be described as follows : — 



Apis {Syiiapis, subg. nov.) henshawi, sp. nov. 

 ^ . Length 15 or 16 mm. ; vertex with long erect black hair, as 

 in A. mellifera ; this hair appears to be plumose ; mandibles toothless, 

 obliquely truncate, quite as in modern Apis ; mesothorax bare ; au- 

 tennse normal ; tongue long, normal ; abdomen banded ; claws bifid, 

 the inner tooth short, as m modern Apis ; pulvillus well-developed ; 

 sting visible ; venation as in modern Apis, except that the basal nervure 

 almost meets the transverso-medial, and the upper side of the second 

 submarginal cell seems shorter ; the long marginal cell, with rounded 

 apex, the peculiar submarginals, the basal with its lower section much 

 the longest, &c., are plainly visible, but unfortunately the termination 

 of the second recurrent nervure cannot be seen. 



The insect is named after Mr. Samuel Henshaw, of the Museum 

 of Comparative Zoology. 



The Museum of Comparative Zoology also contains an ex- 

 ample of Anthopho rites mellona, Heer, from CEningen, determined 

 by Heer himself. It is stout-bodied, 17 or 18 mm. long, abdomen 

 apparently banded ; hind tibia visible, and shaped as in Ajns. 

 The venation cannot be seen, but a large part of it was visible in 

 Heer's original type, as his figure shows. 



TWO NEW SPECIES OF AGATHIN^ (BRACONID^) 

 FROM BOENEO.

By p. Cameron. 



Euagathis leptopterus, sp. nov. 



Luteous ; the flagellum of antennae and the hind tarsi fuscous. 

 Wings, including the costa, stigma, and nervures, bright luteous, 

 except for a blackish spot, longer than wide and of equal width, 

 behind the parastigma, the body and legs densely covered with a short 

 pale pubescence. $ . Length 10 mm. 



Wings long, narrow ; the areolet 4-angled, narrowed in front ; the 

 lower part of the second transverse cubital nervure narrowed and 

 sloped towards the base of the cellule. Malar space a little shorter 

 than the eyes. Parapsidal furrows distinct, but neither wide nor 

 deep. Basal slope of scutellum broadly margined above ; behind it 

 are two rows of distinct punctures, the apex rounded, margined by a 

 stout keel. Post-scutellum wider than long, of equal width ; the 

 lateral keels stout ; a stout keel runs from the middle of the apical 

 one. On the base of the metanotum, in the centre, are three arefe,
