Descriptions of two New Genera and four 
new species of Indian Parasitic Hymenoptera. 
By P. Cameron. 
1. Stictocryptus, gen. nov. 
Median segment strongly, closely punctured, with 
one weak basal transverse Kkeel, the apex broadly rounded; 
the spiracles small, about 3 times longer than wide. 
Scutellum prominent, strongly keeled to the top of the 
apical slope. Abdominal petiole long, slender, the apical 
half not abruptly widened. Areolet small (but larger than 
in Mesostenus) of equal width, receiving the recurrent 
nervure in the middle. I'ransverse median nervure inter- 
Stitial. Transverse median nervure in hind wings broken 
in the middle, angled, bullated below.  Disco-cubital 
nervure not broken by a stump. Apex of clypeus broadly 
rounded. Thorax closely, strongly punctured ; the meta- 
notum more strongly than the rest. Apex of abdomen 
white. Abdominal petiole curved, clearly longer than the 
2nd segment. 
The type of this genus has not quite the look of a 
Cryptid. The body is for the greater part rufo-testaceous, 
with short hyaline wings. The abdominal petiole is more 
slender than in Crypfus, but not so slender as in Ospryn- 
chotus or Distantella. The form of the areolet shows 
an approach to the Mesosfenini, it being smaller than in 
most Crypfini; and it is not narrowed in front as in, € £, 
Cryptus. 
1. Stictocryptus testaceus sp. nov. d 
Ruio-testaceous, the apex of scutellum and base of 
petiole paler, more yellowish; the head black ; the sides 
of the face broadly, a line, widened in the middle, on the 
sides of the iront, a broad line on the outer orbits, the 
clypeus, mandibles, except at apex, and palpi whitish 
yellow ; the mesopleurae, except narrowiy at the base and 
above, broadly below the tegulae, mesosternum, the base 
of the metapleurae, narrowly above, the mark becoming 
eradually widened below ; the 4th, 5th, 6th. and base of 
7th abdominal segment, black; the rest of the 7th white.
