NEW CHALCIDOIDEA—GAHAN 43 
record, cited in the synonymy, was based. According to this note the 
host was Carea subtilis (Walker) infesting Hugenia jambolana. Two 
additional paratypes from Coimbatore are labeled “Par. on Danais, 
14-II, 1913, Ponniah coll.” Six paratypes are from Buitenzorg, 
Java, reared in March 1932 from pupae of Papilio agamemnon 
Linnaeus, and six others from the same locality were reared from 
a lepidopterous pupa en Ficus ampelas, April 1, 1935, by Dr. Muller. 
Four paratypes (two of which were returned to the sender) were 
received in 1939 from C. J. H. Franssen, of the Institute for Plant 
Diseases, Buitenzorg, Java, reared in June 1936 from Papilio aga- 
memnon by R. Awibowo. Five additional paratypes from Padang, 
Sumatra, were reared from P. agamemnon and received in 1918 from 
S. Leefmans. 
BRACHYMERIA DISCRETA, new species 
This species differs from all the previously described species of 
Brachymeria known to me by having on the dorsum of the scutellum 
a conspicuous, smocth, impunctate area that is slightly elevated and 
rounded posteriorly and terminates rather abruptly a little behind the 
middle of the scuteilum. The species superficially resembles B. 
jonscolombet Dufour but may be distinguished by the longer and 
slenderer antenna, by the much shorter teeth on the hind femur, by 
the broadly arcuate emargination of the second segment of the gaster, 
by the conspicuous smooth area on the scutellum, and by the somewhat 
differently colored legs. 
Female —Length 4.75 mm. Antennae inserted on a line with lower 
extremities of eyes; scape rather long; flagellum moderately slender, 
nearly the same thickness throughout most of its length, the two 
apical joints of club tapered to a blunt point; first funicular joint 
about twice as long as broad, second and third funicular joints a 
little longer than broad, fourth to seventh joints quadrate or nearly 
so; club very slightly longer than the two preceding joints. Ocell- 
ocular line distinctly a little more than half the longest diameter 
of a lateral ocellus. Head rugosely sculptured, the rugosity some- 
what coarser laterad of the upper half of scrobe than elsewhere; post- 
orbital branch of genal carina present and complete; malar space 
less than half the eye height. Thorax punctate, the punctures on 
prescutum distinctly larger than those on scapulae; punctures on 
scutellum similar to those on posterior part of prescutum; carinate 
plate at apex of scutellum narrow and not emarginate; propodeum 
irregularly rugose, without well defined carinately bounded areas 
except adjacent to the spiracles; mesopleuron with femoral depres- 
sion strongly transversely striated. Forewing with postmarginal vein 
about one-fourth as long as marginal; stigmal vein completely sessile 
and hardly half as long as postmarginal. Posterior femur nearly 
twice as long as broad, its outer surface closely punctate, its ventral
