Mr. F. Walker on some new species of Chalcidites. 111 
of the oviduct as long as the body: legs yellow; coxe and thighs 
green; tips of the latter yellow; tips of the tarsi fuscous: wings 
limpid ; nervures piceous; ulna shorter than the humerus; radius 
very short; cubitus extremely short. The characters which are 
common to the genus, such as the minute transverse undulations on 
the thorax, the long scutum, the distinct sutures of the parapsides 
and the extremely short podeon, are here omitted. The length of 
the oviduct will distinguish this insect from most of the British spe- 
cies of Callimome*. In this character it most resembles C. Bedeguaris, 
varians, scutellaris, Hedere and Arundinis, but it has more slender 
antenne and a smaller body than any of these species. 
October ; near London. 
6. Lamprotatus Rubrius, mas. Viridis, abdomine eneo-viridi, anten- 
nis nigris, pedibus fulvis, femoribus viridibus, alis limpidis. (Corp. 
long, lin. 14; alar. lin 24.) 
Male.—Body convex : head and thorax finely squameous: head a 
little broader than the thorax: antenne stout, filiform, not longer 
than the thorax ; first joint long, dilated beneath ; second short-cya- 
thiform ; third and fourth very minute; fifth and following joints 
to the tenth long, linear, successively decreasing in length; club 
linear, conical at the tip, twice the length of the tenth joint : thorax 
oval, stout, deep, very convex: prothorax moderate, transverse : 
scutum of the mesothorax broad ; sutures of the parapsides very di- 
‘stinct, approaching each other; axille Jarge, triangular, not conni- 
ving ; scutellum truncate-conical, not impressed in front but having 
a transverse channel near the tip: metathorax large, obconic, decum- 
bent: podeon short, stout, punctured, less than one-sixth of the 
length of the abdomen: abdomen oval, smooth, shining, slightly con- 
vex, shorter and much narrower than the thorax ; metapodeon occu- 
pying more than one-third of the dorsum, having a broad channel 
throughout its length; octoon less than one-half of the metapodeon 
in length; ennaton much shorter than the octoon; decaton a little 
longer than the ennaton; protelum as long as the ennaton; para- 
telum shorter than the protelum ; telum very short: wings ample; 
humerus much less than half the length of the wing; ulna not more 
than half the length of the humerus; radius twice the length of the 
ulna ; cubitus rather shorter than the ulna; stigma large, pyriform, 
emitting a short branch towards the radius. 
Found by Dr. Greville near Edinburgh. 
7. Lamprotatus Helenor, mas. Aneo-viridis, antennis nigris, pe- 
dibus fulvis, alis limpidis. (Corp. long. lin. 1}; alar. lin. 21.) 
Female.—Body convex: head and thorax finely squameous : head 
a little broader than the thorax: antenne filiform, longer than the 
thorax ; first joint long, slender; second short-cyathiform ; third and

Kollar, « 4 tdi nearer than any other species that I have seen to Or- 
myrus, which genus connects the Torymide with the Eucharide.
