reticulations. l st abdominal segment opaque, closely reticulated, 

 more finely so at the apex, and more or less striated ; the 2 ad seg- 

 ment finely, closely striated, the base and centre more broadly, 

 smooth and shilling. 



Rhopalospathius erythrothorax sp. n. Black, the 



thorax, oral région, malar space, lower third of outer orbits, basai 

 half of mandibles and the 4 anterior legs, red; the palpi of a darker 

 red and densely covered with white pubescence; wings fuscous, 

 tinged with violaceous, the nervures and stigma black. Ç. 



Length 23; terebra 25 mill. 



Dima, 22 nd September (Koller). 



Face rugosely reticulated, more strongly below than above, the 

 lower part laterally appearing striated. The ra'sed latéral part of the 

 vertex with roundly curved strise. Mesonotum smooth ; the central 

 dépression irregulariy longitudinally striated; at the base the striae 

 are finer and run into reticulations; the part at the base of the 

 latéral lobes is stoutly longitudinally striated. Metanotum trans- 

 versely reticulated, the basai half more finely than the apical. 

 Pro- and mesopleurge smooth, the base below the middle with a 

 smooth triangular projection, the rest closely rugosely reticulated. 

 Base of l st abdominal segment closely longitudinally reticulated to 

 shortly beyond the middle; the rest closely striated, the striae 

 intertwining ; the 2 ni1 segment closely longitudinally striated to 

 near the apex, the strise becoming finer and closer towards the 

 apex ; the sides bear white, longish, out-standing hair ; the rest of 

 the abdomen is smooth, shilling and covered with a white pile. 



As compared with R. auranticeps, this species has the striae on 

 the base of the 2 nd abdominal segment more clearly defined into a 

 triangular area ; but the latéral furrows are not so distinct ; the 

 sides of the front and vertex are not quite so prominently raised; 

 the fore tibiae, on the outerside, bear short, black spines. 



Exobracon rufus sp. n. — Dark rufous, the head pallid yellow, 

 the antennae, apex of mandihles, and legs, except the fore coxae, 

 base of middle broadly and of the posterior narrowly, black and ail 

 the trochanters narrowly, black ; palpi dark red ; wings uniformly 

 dark fuscous, tinged with violaceous, the stigma and nervures 

 black, the 3 rd abscissa of radius slighLy shorter than the 2 nd ; the 

 transverse médian nervure received shortly beyond the transverse 

 basai, the récurrent nervure near the apex of l st cubital cellule. Ç. 



Length 12-17 mill.; terebra a little longer than the body.
