connecting the middle point of each inner eye margin. Habitus quite 

 different from Protapanteles, Apanteles, and Pseudapanteles, very 

 suggestive of Goniozus and allied genera in the Bethylidae. 



The male of the type-species was not known to the describer at 

 the time the species was first described. At any rate, it has appar- 

 ently never been described. It differs from the female as described 

 by Cameron especially in having the joints of the flagel at least three 

 times as long as wide at base, otherwise it is very similar to the female 

 except for the usual antigeny, as is obvious from an examination of a 

 male received from C. W. Howard who sent specimens of this species 

 to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Entomology, that 

 were reared from Sesamia fusca in Portuguese East Africa. 



Type. — Apanteles sesamix Cameron. 



Family ICHNEUMONIDiE. 



ANEMPHERES DIAPHANI-ffi, new species. 



Female. — Length 8.5 mm. Upper edge of scrobe apparently not 

 renexed nearly as far from the anterior ocellus as the outer edges of 

 the lateral ocelli are from each other, front rather uniformly rugulose, 

 antennae 38-jointed, scape and pedicel yellowish beneath; dorsulum 

 covered with whitish pubescence, tegulae not prominently elevated, 

 ridge bounding prepectus of mesothorax poorly developed or rudi- 

 mentary above, episternum of mesothorax almost smooth and pol- 

 ished in part posteriorly, propodeum with only the basal three sides 

 of the areola developed, no other raised lines present except the 

 poorly developed upper lateral boundary of petiolarea, sulcus of pro- 

 podeum very shallow, linear, transversely striate, spiracles nearly 

 round, mid-coxae tipped with yellow, mid-trochanters yellow, mid- 

 femora mostly brownish, hind trochanters yellow, their femora and 

 tibia? reddish brown, longest spur of hind tibiae straight, wing mem- 

 brane nearly colorless, tinged with fuscous, veins and stigma blackish, 

 second abscissa of cubitus longer than the third, nervellus not broken; 

 abdomen in profile clavate, petiole smooth and rounded without 

 carina? or fossae, distance from base of petiole to spiracle more than 

 twice that from spiracle to apex, petiole from a little before spiracle 

 to apex bullous and reddish, rest of petiole black; second dorsal seg- 

 ment black and reddish, apical margin black, smooth except for a 

 fine carina between base and thyridia, the latter longer than wide, and 

 about as far from the base of the segment as from each other, rest of 

 abdomen reddish except for a blackish area at base of third segment. 



Otherwise very similar to Campoplex oxyancanthse Boie.
