the middle of the fifth seg-ment and the dorsums of the sixth and 

 seventh segments, white; the rest of the legs, except the hind ti])ia^ 

 outwardly and at apex, the tibial spurs and the rest of hind tarsi which 

 are black or fuscous, are red. The head is sparsely punctate, the 

 mesonotum more closely, distinctl}' punctate, the metathorax with 

 some small, sparse punctures but completely areolated, the areola 

 being horse-hoof shaped; the abdomen is sparsely punctate on the 

 petiole, thickl}', finely, opaquely punctate on the second and third 

 segments, while the following segments, except some minute punctures 

 on the fourth segment basally, are smooth and shining; the gastrocoeli 

 on the second segment are represented b}' shallow transyerse cicatrices 

 near the basal lateral angles. Wings hyaline, the veins black or brown- 

 black, the inner apical margin of the stigma broadl}^ ^^ellowish.

Manila. (Father Brown.) A beautiful little species and the first

Philippines. 



13. APSILOPS NIGRICEPS, new species. 



Female. — Length, 6 nmi. ; ovipositor less than one-third the length 

 of the abdomen. Head and the abdomen, except the first segment and 

 a spot at apex, black; the thorax, first segment of abdomen, and the 

 legs, except as hereafter noted, are red; a line on the front tibia? out- 

 wardly, the first joint of the middle trochanters, the middle tarsi 

 more or less, the hind tibia?, except a broad annulus at base and the 

 hind tarsi more or less, except a narrow annulus at base, are black or 

 fuscous black; the annuli at base of the hind tibise and tarsi, and the 

 incisions of the tarsal joints, the palpi, and the large spot at the apex 

 of the alxlomen, are white. 



The wings are hyaline, but the front pair have two brown-black 

 transyerse bands— a narrow one across from and including the basal 

 nervure, and the other, a very broad band, across from the stigma, 

 leaving onl}- the apex of the wings hyaline; the veins are black or 

 brown-black. The head is transverse, sublenticular, the temples yery 

 flat, the eyes very large, occupying the whole sides of the head; the 

 thorax is opaque or subopaque, but with the mesosternum and a large 

 spot at the upper hind angles of the mesopleura smooth and shining; 

 the mesonotum is opaque, with two distinct parapsidal furrows that 

 converge posteriorly; the metathorax is more or less shining, clothed 

 with a whitish pubescence at apex and completely areolated; the 

 abdomen is smooth and shining, except segments two and three which 

 are finely, closely, opaquel}" punctate, except a large spot at their 

 apical middle; the other segments, except the first which has some 

 sparse, minute punctures toward the base, are smooth and practically 

 impunctate.
