The areolet in this genus resembles that of Lissonota, rather than 

 that of Pimpla, but I have adopted the shorter name. 



145. Glyptopimpla prima, sp. n. 



cf. A linear, black and flavous species. Bead posteriorly 

 narrow, with no frontal horn ; black, with the clypeus and, except 

 at their apices, mandibles flavous. Antenna 1 filiform, as long as 

 the body ; black, with the scape internally convex and flavous. 

 TJiorax with distinct mesouotal notauli ; black, with the pro- 

 sternum, sides of mesosternum, an elongate line before and a dot 

 below the radices, and the apophysal areae narrowly, flavous ; 

 roetanotum distinctly and not very closely punctate, centrally 

 bicarinate and emitting costulae at its centre ; apophyses wanting 

 petiolar area very short, with its basal carina strongly elevated ; 

 spiracles small and circular. Scutellum deplanate and black, with 

 its sides and apex broadly, and the postscutellum, flavous, 

 Abdomen parallel-sided, dull and black, with the apices or apical 

 angles of the posterior segments indistinctly flavescent ; basal 

 segment discally bicariuate to near its apex, with the following 

 segments sulcately and triangularly impressed; venter flavous, 

 with the three basal segments plicate. Legs slender and flavous, 

 with only dots at the apices of the hind trochanters and femora, 

 at apex and before base of their tibiae, and the whole hind tarsi T 

 infuscate ; claws finely pectinate. Wings hyaline and not broad T 

 with the areolet entire and petiolate ; nervellus intercepted near 

 its bottom. 



Length 7 millim. 



SIKKIM : Kurseong, 5000 ft., viii. 08. 



Type in Indian Museum. 



I have only seen the type of this species, but the areolet is so 

 regular in its conformation and symmetrical in both wings that 

 it can hardly be an aberration.

 GENOTYPE, G. teres, Grav. 



Head distinctly transverse, more or less strongly contracted 

 behind the oval eyes ; frons sometimes with cornigerous excres- 

 cences, vertex narrow ; clypeus convex, apically rounded or sub- 

 truncate, sometimes densely pilose apically and nearly always 

 indistinctly discrete from the usually prominent epistoma ; genal 

 costa continuous. Antennas slender and filiform, about the length 

 of the body. Thorax stout and gibbulous ; notauli indistinct ; 

 tnetathoracic areas complete, obsolete or wanting; petiolar area 

 semicircular, usually entire, but with the basal carina sometimes 

 deficient ; apophyses obsolete, spiracles small and subcircular. 

 Scutellum convex and triangular, apically obtuse, and rarely pale-
