4. Gen. Xanthopimpla. 
1. Xanthopimpla cera sp. nov. 9. 
Luteous; a triangular spot covering the ocelli, a broad 
line on the mesonotum at the tegulae, the sides larger 
than the middle: the basal lateral areae of metanotum, 
2 spots on the 1st abdominal segment, narrowed on the 
inner side at the apex, at where they are not half the 
thickness of the outer side and lighter in colour, 2 broad 
transverse marks on the 3rd, 2 wider and thinner ones on 
the 5th and narrower, almost united ones on the 7th; and 
the hinder knees, black. Ovipositor slightly shorter than 
the hind tarsi. Wings hyaline, the nervures and stigma 
black. — Length 9 mm; terebra 1,5 mm. 
Himalayas. 
Head and thorax smooth, shining, the face and clypeus 
covered with white pubescence. Parapsidal furrows 
narrow, indicated on basal slope only. The inner keel 
of the basal lateral areae forms 2 oblique slopes, of 
which the inner is the shorter and is more rounded, not 
so straight and oblique; the black does not fill it entirely ; 
the lateral bordering keel is distinct; from the apex of 
its upper third a keel runs obliquely to near the inner 
angle of the upper keel. The 3rd and following segments 
of the abdomen are closely punctured, the puncturation 
becoming gradually weaker towards the end; there are 
apical transverse furrows on the 2rd to 6th segments ; 
they becoming gradually weaker; they are not very 
strongly crenulated. 
This species is closely related to X. Bingharmi; 
it is larger, has all the marks on the abdomen separated, 
those on the Ist segment are distinctly narrowed on the 
innerside, not dilated there ; the inner keel of the lateral 
areae forms a broad, rounded curve, without angle, it 
being also wider compared with the width, and there is 
an area, open on the innerside, which does not exist in 
Binghami. 
2. Xanthopimpla Kriegeriana, sp. nov. 9. 
Luteous, a triangular spot covering the ocelli, 3 large 
marks on the base of mesonotum, the lateral irregularly 
oval, the central larger, wider than long ; the basal meta- 
notal areae, 2 marks on the Ist abdominal segment, 2 
larger broader ones on the 3rd, 5th and 7th, the basal 
joint of the hinder trochanters and the base of the hinder
