Sagaritis incisa, n. s. 



Niger, femoribus, tibiis tarsisque maxima ex parte 

 rufis, post-petiolo scrobiculis tribus, segmento secundo 

 transversim impresso ; aculeo segmento primo dimidio 

 breviore. 



Face subquadrate ; mandibular teeth subequal. An- 

 tenna3 a little shorter than the thorax and abdomen ; 

 head transverse, narrow behind the eyes, rather wider 

 than the thorax, with very fine white pubescence. Thorax 

 rather longer than high, parapsides rather distinct, 

 extending to the middle of the mesothorax ; supero- 

 medial area of metathorax subhexagonal, sometimes 

 closed behind, sometimes not ; lateral arese imperfectly 

 divided or not at all ; postero-medial area wide, not 

 concave. Legs moderate. Abdomen rather short and 

 wide ; post-petiole rather longer than wide ; sides almost 

 parallel, about three times as wide as the petiole and a 

 little shorter than it ; in a line with the spiracles are 

 three very distinct pits, one in the middle and one on each 

 side ; 2nd segment a little longer than wide, with a 

 wide obsolete transverse depression just below the base, 

 and a very distinct deep one before the apex ; 3rd and 

 remaining segments transverse ; aculeus one-half the 

 length of the 1st segment. Wings, areolet rhomboidal, 

 the shape of the areolet in Mesochorus but smaller ; 

 recurrent nervure received before the centre ; transverse 

 ordinary nervure almost interstitial ; transverse anal 

 interrupted below the middle, with scarcely a trace of 

 nervure proceeding from it ; stigma long and narrow. 



Black ; palpi reddish yellow ; legs red ; coxse, base of 

 front and middle trochanters, black ; base and apex of 

 hind tibiae, towards the apex of front and middle tarsi 

 and hind one entirely fuscous ; stigma and nervures 

 fuscous ; base of wing and tegulse yellow. Length, 

 5 mm. 



Two females bred by Mrs. F. Norgate. The host is 

 uncertain ; the cocoon is elongate, and of uniform tawny 

 brown. 



I can find no description of a Sagaritis which agrees 

 with this very marked species, and the only Limneria 

 which appears to me to come near it is C. seniculus, Gr., 

 I.E., iii., 473, male. This species Gravenhorst notes 

 as having three pits on the post-petiole, just as Mrs.
