ovipositor is longer than the abdomen. It is probably very closely 

 allied to, if not the same as, the Braconid figured on plate 16, figure 

 3, by van Deventer, Handboek ten dientse van de Suikerriet-Cultur 

 on de Rutsuiker-Fabricage op Java, 1906. 



Female. — Length, 4 mm.; length of ovipositor, 2 mm. Eyes 

 slightly converging below, the distance between them at the vertex 

 subequal with the length of the eye ; clypeus finely granular, the rest 

 of the head smooth, shining; ocelli in nearly an equilateral triangle; 

 postocellar orbits sharply narrowing posteriorly, about half as wide 

 as the cephalo-caudad diameter of the eye; thorax shining, without 

 sculpture ; the suture in front of the scutellum plain ; first tergal plate 

 about three times as long as its posterior width, nearly parallel-sided, 

 anteriorly with two raised lines which diverge posteriorly; second 

 tergal plate triangular in outline; the entire abdomen smooth and 

 without sculpture, nervulus interstitial; recurrent interstitial; first 

 abscissa of the radius slightly less than the first intercubitus, the sec- 

 ond abscissa subequal in length to the first abscissa of the cubitus; 

 radius leaving the stigma distinctly before the middle; legs normal. 

 Black the entire mesothorax and lateral margins of the pronotum 

 ruf o-piceous ; the sides of the first tergites white; body with sparse 

 rather long gray hair; wings hyaline, iridescent, venation dark 

 brown. 



Type-locality. — Ambarawa, Java. 



Described from three females (one, type) reared from the larva of 

 Zeuzera coffeae., August, 1913, by K. W. Dammerman, under his 

 number 389.

PLATYBRACON JAVENSIS. new species. 



Judging from descriptions this seems close to Platyhracon carini- 

 ceps Cameron, yet it does not agi-ee sufficiently well with his descrip- 

 tion to be considered that species. It is the second species known 

 from Java. 



Male. — Length, 6 mm. Face with a median nearly quadrate de- 

 pression ; a distinct carina from anterior ocellus to between bases of 

 antennae, head somewhat narrowing behind eyes; posterior orbits 

 as broad as cephalo-caudad diameter of eyes; head and thorax 

 shining without sculpture ; first tergal plate nearly parallel-sided, a 

 little more than twice as long as apical width, its surface with ir- 

 regular raised lines; second, third, and fourth tergites irregularly, 

 longitudinally striate; the suture between the second and third 

 crenulate ; recurrent antef ureal by about one-third the length of the 

 first intercubitus; second cubital cell quadrangular, about one-third 

 longer than the first abscissa of cubitus; nervulus interstitial. En- 

 tirely reddish yellow ; interocellar area and scape blackish ; flagellum 

 brownish; wings yellowish hyaline nearly to basal, beyond that
