 has been described. In the collection are 2 females collected by 

 Mr. Cabra, which agrée fairly well with the description of I. coral- 

 linus (Tijdschr. voor Eut., XVII, 5). The larger example is 9 mill. 

 long, the ovipositor being nearly 3 mill. The species belongs to the 

 group of coccineus and has no definedareaon the base of the 2 nd abdo- 

 minal segment; the oblique latéral furrows on it and the suturiform 

 articulation are wide and closely, strongly striated ; there are 

 narrow transverse furrows on the apices of the 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th . The 

 pubescence on the head, metanotum and pleuraî is long, dense 

 and white, sparser and shorter on the rest of the body. The head 

 wants the black on the top found in coccineus, the wings at and 

 behind the stigma are more or less hyaline, the costa and stigma 

 are paler in colour, the latter also not being black at the apex, but 

 uniformly coloured, and the basai 4 abdominal segments are
