New Chrysids from Egypt and Algeria. 267 



wholly on the apical margin of the segment (not, as in the 

 9, forming a portion of its lateral margin also !). 



The $ was taken on April 27, the $ on April 24 : both, 

 probably, in a waste and stony patch of ground abounding 

 in Ferula, but of this I am not absolutely certain, nor can 1 

 say whether they occurred on the plants or on the stones. 

 (Most of my captures in that place, however, were on the 

 latter, for the Ferula had mostly gone to seed, and ceased 

 to be attractive to Hymenoplera.) 



Chrysis scintillula, n. sp. £. 



Parva (long, in $ circ. 5 mm.); laete viridis; tegulis alarum, 

 suturis juxta latera propodei, pedum anteriorum tibiis, abdomin- 

 isque limbo apicali quadridentato aureo-rutilantibus ; etiam vcrtice, 

 mesonoto cum scutello, abdominisque regionibus quibusdam dorsali- 

 bus, plus miiiusve (secundum lucis incidentias varias) inter viride 

 et rutilum versicoloribus ; tarsis pedum omnium antonnarumque 

 alboqiruinosarum flagcllis brunnescentibus, scapis harum cum 

 articulo tertio (quarto dimidio longiore) viridi-metallescentibus, 

 articulo vero secundo (brevi) aureo-rutilo. 



Oculi prominuli, latitudine sua paullo longiores. Genae longae, 

 scapis antennarum subaequales, valde convergentes. Facies superne 

 lata, carina tenui sed distincta (quae tamen ad oculos non attingit) 

 ab ocellis separata; in medio sulco nitido longitudinali divisa ; 

 lateribus dense subtiliter punctalis; argenteo-pilosa. 



Pronotum transversum, antice in medio impressum hand pro- 

 funde; angulis lateralibus subacutis (non autem spiniformibus). 

 Postscutcllum simplex, fere planum. 



Segmenti abdominalia tertii latera (desuper visa) fortiter a basi 

 usque ad apicem fere recte convergentia ; series anteapicalis foveo- 

 larum (in exemplari hoc octo) satis profunde impresaa; dentea 

 apicales quattuor, forma triangulari, magnitudine inter se non 

 multum differentes, exteriores vero plus minusve introrsum deflexi 

 proptereaque dentibus interioribus porrectia etiamque Buberectia 

 aliquanto minus conspicui. 



Corporis dorsum punctis magnis crassisque— in vertice et pronoto 

 quasi reticulatis, alibi magis inaequalitei Bed fere ubique dense 

 congregatis — , Bcabrum : exceptia limbo bene definite postico scutelli 

 Bingulariter (an semper?) prorsus laevigato, et Begmenti abdo- 

 minalia 3tii apiee (post foveolas) punctis magnis nullis Bed tantum 

 minutissime vix visibiliter punctulato. 



(Alas, in exemplari unico casu aliquo la. 

 describere non tcnto ! )
