272 ^Ir. K. K. 'riuner on 



which it may prove to be a subspecies. It differs iu tlie 

 clearer hyaline wings, in the smaller stigmal fuscous mark, 

 and iu the position of the recurrent uervures. The hitter 

 character does not appear to be very reliable in this genus. 



Family Braconidae. 



Subfamily ViPioyrx.s, A'^iereck. 



Genus Moxocoila, Roman. 



Monocoila signata, sp. n. 



2 . Fulva; maiidibulis apice, anteiuiis, vertice, prosterno lateribus, 

 mesosterno, mesonoto notaulis exceptis, terebra, valvulis, tarso- 

 ruruque articulo apicali nigris ; alls fusco-hyalinis, venis nigris. 



Long. 5 mm. 



? . Head finely punctured, sparsely on the shining vertex, 

 more closely on the opaque face ; a shallow sulcus running 

 from the anterior ocellus to the base of the antennae ; the 

 black colour on the vertex produced auterioily in the middle 

 so as to include the ocellar region and reaching the base of 

 the antennae ; the head transverse and rather strongly nar- 

 rowed behind the eyes. Thorax shining, sparsely and very 

 finely punctured ; notauli deep and smooth ; median seg- 

 ment smooth and shining. Abdomen rugose-reticulate, the 

 sutui'es crenulate ; second tergite with a low median carina 

 from the base, nearly reaching to the suture marking the 

 division between the fused second and third tergites ; the 

 apical lobes of the fifth tergite on each side of the apical 

 emargination more strongly rounded than in ])ectoruHs, 

 Holmg., and the emaigination itself distinctly narrower. 

 Terebra less than half as long as the abdomen. Neuration 

 as in M. pectoralis, but the cubital nervure is not curved at 

 the base, in this point resembling M. secunda, Szepl. 



Hab. Ceres, Cape Province, November 1920 {R.E.Turner) ;

The sculpture of the tergites is less coarse than in pectoralis.

 mandibuUs flavis, apice nigris, antennis palpisque nigris, pro- 

 sterno macula parva utrinque tarsisque articulo apicali uigris ; 

 alia fuscis, venis nigris.
