Anicetus chinensis new species. 



Female: Length, 2.00 mm. Ovipositor extruded a short distance. 



Differs from the genotype in being larger, in being deep orange in 

 color with the disk of the abdomen and a broad line down propodeum 

 between the spiracle and meson, deep metalHc purple. The antennae are 

 purple suffused with yellowish. Fore wings yellow from a little before 

 the bend of the submarginal vein distad to near apex, the distal margin 

 of this yellow flatly convexed and browner like a ring (as in the 

 Australian felix). Mandibles with three distinct, equal, acute teeth. 

 Frons subprominent, the great inflexion of the face with an acute, 

 convex, dorsal margin. Frons moderately narrow, a little over thrice 

 the diameter of the cephalic ocellus. Cheeks as long as the eyes._ Axillae 

 with a carina between them. Pedicel greatly concaved and winged at 

 apex. Differs further from ceylonensis in the larger pedicel. Funicle 

 with a backbone, the joints given off as so many vertebrae, the first much 

 narrower than the last which is as wide as the club. Marginal vein 

 thrice longer than wide, the stigmal a little shorter than it, a fourth 

 longer than the postmarginal. Frons with several rows of shallow punc- 

 tures (caudo-cephalad). Pronotum transverse, the middle of its cephalic 

 face purple. Head and thorax very finely sculptured, giving a velvety 

 sheen. Margin of abdomen at base purple. Thorax with scattered, 

 obscure setigerous punctures. External valves of ovipositor purpHsh. 

 Tibiae setose. Hairless line of fore wing with many lines of cilia proxi- 

 mad of it. Caudal wings broad (about 25 lines of rather fine discal ciHa). 

 There is a dusky line across the face as in felix and the genotype. 



Described from one female on a tag from China and reared 

 from a Lecanium (Compere). 



Type: Catalogue No. 19943, U. S. N. M., the above speci- 

 men plus a slide bearing the head and a pair of wings. 



The genotype has the club obliquely truncate from the base 

 of the third joint and the scape is edged with black ventrad; the 

 marginal vein is about twice longer than wide, somewhat shorter 

 than the stigmal. The mandibles w^ere missing in the single 

 specimen. The caudal wings are hyaline excepting for a long- 

 ovate, fuscous spot just under the apex of the venation; they 

 bear about 22 lines of discal cilia where broadest. 



The genus Habrolepopterygis Girault is a synonym of A nicetus. 



Sympiesomorphelleus bicoloriceps new species. 



Female: Length, 2.25 mm. 



Lemon yellow, the wings hyaline, the body marked with black as 

 follows: Upper half or more of head except a flat triangular area on 

 vertex against the eye, a median stripe up the occiput (upper part) to 

 vertex, cheek right under apex of the eye and a spot on face against the
