Australian Braconidae in the British Museum. 95 



differing in the presence of a broad yellow band which 

 crosses the wing below the stigma, almost reaching the 

 inner margin. In some specimens the hind tibiae are 

 black at the extreme apex, in others wholly testaceous 

 red. C. crassicaudis, Szep., may be a synonym, but the 

 description is too short for certain identification.

 nigris; alis fuscis, stigmate flavo, apice extremo fusco. 



Long. 8 mm. ; terebrae long. 3 mm. 



$. Scape less than twice as long as broad; face shining, closely 

 and minutely punctured, vertex smooth and shirring. Parapsidal 

 furrows shallow and indistinct. Thorax and abdomen smooth 

 and shining; first tergite a little longer than the apical breadth, 

 the sides deeply grooved longitudinally ; second tergite twice as 

 broad in the middle as long, the grooves separating the raised 

 anterior angles from the rest of the segment separated in the middle 

 of the anterior margin by a rather narrow raised space, the hind 

 margin of the segment widely and shallowly emarginate in the 

 middle. Sheath of the ovipositor thickened towards the apex. 

 First abscissa of the radius straight, not bent at the base. 



Hab. Queensland, Kuranda (Turner), January. 



Closely allied to rufus and profiscalor, but easily distin- 

 guished by the fuscous colour of the wings, and in the less 

 strong emarginate apical margin of the second tergite.
