Aucklandella (?) flavolineata, sp. no v. 



Along with the two above-described females Mr. Hudson sends a male, which is 

 probably the other sex of one or other of them. It has the wings fully developed, 

 and has' the neuration pretty much as in Ichneumon ; the areolet 5-angled, with the 

 apical transverse cubital nervure faint, the recurrent nervure received beyond the 

 middle, the disco-cubital nervure broken by a minute stump, the transverse median 

 nervure interstitial, and the transverse median nervure in the hindwings is broken 

 near the bottom. The antennae are stout, 26-iointed. the last joint double the 

 length of the penultimate, the basal joints of flagellum 4 times longer than thick. 

 The form of the head and thorax (including the absence of keels from the metanotum) 

 is as in the preceding two species. The abdomen has 8 segments, and is bluntly 

 rounded at the apex. 



Dark ferruginous, the antennae darker, the legs lighter coloured; the eye-orbits, 

 narrowly in the middle, more broadly above and below, the clypeus, mandibles, 

 except the teeth, ])alpi, a line on the pronotum and a narrower one on the lower 

 edge of the propleurae, 2 lines on the centre of mesonotum, dilated inwardly at the 

 base, the lower part of mesopleurae, and the coxae in front, pallid yellow ; the 

 ocellar region, centre of propleurae, the parts bordering the scutellum, the greater 

 part of metathorax, and the basal segment of the abdomen, black ; the 2nd to 6th 

 abdominal dorsal segments broadly infuscated on the sides. Coxae pale-yellow, 

 the hinder darker, black in the middle above. Wings clear hyaline, the stigma 

 testaceous, the nervures blackish. Male. 



Length, 6 mm. 



There are 2 impressed lines down the centre of the metanotum, commencing 

 at the top of the basal slope ; the apical slope is distinctly finely irregularly striated, 

 the sides feebly striated. 



BRACONIDAE. 

 Apanteles aucklandensis, sp. nov. 



Black, shining, smooth, the palpi pale testaceous, the legs rufo-testaceous, the 

 femora darker-coloured above, the hind coxae black, except narrowly at the apex ; 

 the apex of hind tibiae darker-coloured, tarsi blackish ; the basal ventral segment 

 pale testaceous in the middle. Wings hyaline, the nervures and stigma black. 

 Metanotum opaque, shagreened, the sides almost rugosely punctured — striated, 

 margined on the outer edge ; the base is bordered by a transverse furrow. Front 

 depressed. Mesonotum minutely punctured. First abdominal segment a little 

 wider than long, the raised central part minutely punctured, the lateral depressions 

 fuscous. The lateral projections of the genital armature are white on the basal 

 half. There is a distinct transverse furrow at the base of the scutellum ; the post- 

 scutellar region is raised, as compared with the base of the metanotum. Male. 



Length, 4 mm. 



The pubescence is short, sparse, and white. The long spur of the hind tibiae 

 is thin, and longer than the width of the tibiae. The antennae are longer than the 

 body, and bear a dense microscopic pile.
