testaceous, its basal third hyaline ; 1st abscissa of the radius obso- 

 lete, so that the 2d abscissa and the intercubital ncrvurc spring 

 immediately from the stigma ; radial areolet very minute. Meso- 

 thoracic sutures distinct. First abdominal segment elongate, 

 linear, the tubercles inconspicuous. J . Length, 4 — 1 ; wings, 

 H— 2 lin. 



Var. Eufo-testaceous, metathorax and apex of the abdomen 

 fuscous. Euthe. Cf. sp. 10, which is similarly coloured, but 

 without visible mesothoracic sutures. 



Antennae $ 16-jointed, somewhat incrassated towards the tips, 

 as long as the head, thorax, and petiole. Head and thorax im- 

 punctate. Mesothoracic sutures shallow, converging into a small 

 dull space before the scutellum, which is smooth and shining. 

 Metathorax finely reticulated. Abdomen piceous, paler and often 

 rufous on the 1st segment and base of the 2d ; segment 1 slender, 

 almost linear, punctato-reticulate, coarctate at the base, and nearly 

 £ of the whole length of the abdomen ; tubercles inconspicuous ; 

 the rest of the segments form a short convex oval. Pobrachial 

 areolet of the hind wings open. 



Described from six females. Generally distributed.

Leiophron intactus, Hal., Ent. Mag., ii., 4G5, ? . 



Piceous, head and thorax darker; abdomen rather rufo-piceous ; 

 antennas and legs very pale piceous. Wings dull hyaline, squamulse, 

 stigma, and chief nervures pale yellowish, the others decolorous ; 

 stigma hyaline at the base, touching the 2d cubital areolet ; radial 

 areolet angulated beneath the stigma, semilunate, the metacarpus 

 shorter than i of the stigma. Pobrachial areolet of the hind wings 

 open. Mesothorax smooth, shining, impunctate, the sutures 

 obsolete, except a wrinkled depression before the scutellum. Meta- 

 thorax thickly punctulate, somewhat shining. First abdominal 

 segment linear, punctato-reticulate ; the rest smooth. ? . Length, 

 I — 1 ; wings, H — 2 lin. 



Antennas 16-jointed, nearly filiform, somewhat incrassated and 

 fuscescent towards the apex, as long as the bodj\ Entirely smooth 

 and shining, except the metathorax and 1st abdominal segment. 

 Mesothoracic sutures none, or only vestiges remain, viz., two short 

 shallow grooves in front, and a slight depression before the 

 scutellum. First abdominal segment linear, slightly curved, 

 coarctate at the base ; tubercles medial, somewhat salient. The 

 colour of the legs and antennae is pale piceous, or, as Haliday calls
