346 Mr. Rowland E. Turner on the Hymenoptera of Fiji. 



reticulate, with a low carina from the base to the apex of the dorsal 

 surface, the posterior angles produced and armed with a short 

 spine; the surface of the posterior truncation finely punctured- 

 rugulose. Abdomen about half as long again as the thorax, rather 

 slender, at least four times as long as its basal breadth, not incised 

 at the apex; the basal half coarsely longitudinally striated, with 

 oblong reticulations; the third quarter finely punctured granulate, 

 with fine longitudinal striae at the base; the apical quarter very 

 closely and minutely punctured. Radial cell broad, a little shorter 

 on the eosta than the stigma, third abscissa of the radius straight. 



Rah. Cuvu (R. Veitch), September. 



The colouring is somewhat similar to that of C. rufipes, 

 Szep., from New Guinea and E. Australia, but the antennae 

 in that species are testaceous almost to the apex and the 

 sculpture of the thorax is coarser, especially on the meso- 

 notum, than in the present species; there is also an apical 

 abdominal incision in rufipes. 



Subfamily MICROGASTERINAE. 

 53. Apanteles expulsus, sp. n. 



$. Nigra; scapo, apice excepto, palpisque luteis; flagello basi 

 subtus pedibusque flavo-testaceis, coxis nigris; trochanteribus 

 posticis supra nigris; alis hyalinis, venis luteis; stigmate fusco- 

 fcrrugineo; terebra brevissima; segmento mediano areolato. 



Long. 2mm. 

 . Antennae 18-jointed. Mesonotum and pleurae finely and 

 closely punctured, subopaque; scutellum shining and almost 

 smooth. Median segment short, not as long as the scutellum, 

 with a smooth rhombic area in the middle from base to apex; 

 the sides minutely punctured. First and second tergites finely 

 rugose; the first tergite broad, the hind margin transverse, the 

 second tergite about equal to the third in length; the third and 

 following tergites smooth and shining. Hind coxae shining, 

 minutely punctured; spurs of hind tibiae slender, not more than 

 half as loii<; as the metatarsus. Terebra exserted, very short. 

 ( moons pure white, not enclosed in a web. 



Hab. Natova (R. Veitch), April. 



Bred from the larva of a Noctuid moth (Anticarsia 

 irrorata Fabr.). This is near the Urogaster section of the 

 genus, but has the terebra shorter than usual, not reaching 

 beyond the apical tergite.
