 13. Hyptiogaster ex'ranea, sp. n. 



J. Ferrugineus; abdomine supra, femoribus tibiisque posticis

Long. 7 nun. 



J. Very slender; head broader than the thorax, clypeus and 

 face shining, closely microscopically punctured ; front and vertex 

 opaque, very finely granulate. Second joint of the flagellum three 

 times as long as the first, equal to the combined length of the first 

 and third joints. Neck rather short; prothorax rounded, without 

 spines ; mesonotum shorter than its apical breadth, rather strongly 

 transversely striated, the parapsidal furrows deep and nearly 

 reaching the posterior margin. Scutellum transversely striated, 

 strongly depressed at the apex, with strong lateral and apical 

 marginal carinae. Median segment convex, longer than broad, 

 rugulose, with one or two distinct transverse striae in the middle. 

 Petiole and the whole abdomen smooth and very slender, the dorsal 

 surface almost black, tergites '2 5 hit cons at the apex; petiole as 

 long as the three following segments -com! lined. Joints of the hind 

 tarsi symmetrical, much longer than broad, the ungues small, hind 

 tibiae thinly clothed with short upright hairs. Cubitus originating 

 jusi below the middle of the basaJ nervure. 



1 1 id). CHlVU (R. Veitch), June. 



This is allied to the Australian species //. darwinii, 

 Westw.. but is a more slender species and differs much in 

 the sculpture of the mesonotum. in the symmetrical joints 

 of the hind tarsi, and in the hairs on the hind tibiae. The 

 female is unknown, but doubtless belongs to the group in 

 which the terebra does not reach beyond the apex of the 

 abdomen.
