DESCRIPTIONS OF A NEW GENUS AND SOME NEW 

 SPECIES OF EAST INDIAN HYMENOPTERA. 



By p. Cameron. 



BRACONID.E. 

 AGATHIDIN.E. 



LisiTHERiA, gen. nov. 



First cubital, praediscoidal and third discoidal cellules not sepa- 

 rated ; the recurrent nervure only indicated on the lower side. The 

 prfebrachial and the pobrachial cellules not separated ; the transverse 

 median nervure interstitial. Malar space short, but distinct. Parapsidal 

 furrows distinct. Post-scutellum keeled. Metanotum with an elon- 

 gated area in the centre. Mesopleurs without a rugulose furrow. 

 Maxillary palpi five-jointed. The radius in the hind wings is faint, 

 but distinct ; the cubitus is almost obliterated, there is a distinctly 

 closed cellule at the base of the anal. Areolet broadly rounded at the 

 top, the cubital nervures clearly separated. Parapsidal furrows deep. 

 Anterior claws cleft. 



The head is not rostriform, as it is in the Agathidini, but there is 

 a clear malar space, the eyes being distinctly separated from the base 

 of the mandibles. Palpi lougish ;■ the joints not dilated. Autennal 

 scape about three times longer than wide. The pobrachial nervure 

 in the hind wing is entirely obliterated, as is also the transverse 

 pobrachial ; the pobrachial, anal and discoidal cellules are obliterated. 

 The long spur of the hinder tibiae extends beyond the middle of the 

 metatarsus. Abdomen without furrows or depressions ; its ovipositor 

 short, hardly projecting. The eyes are large. Labrum projecting; 

 its apex rounded. 



LiSITHERIA NIGRICORNIS, Sp. nOV. 



Luteous, shining, smooth, the thorax punctured ; the metanotum 

 more closely than the rest ; the antennae black, the scape for the 

 greater part rufous, the flagellum closely covered with a pale pile ; the 

 hinder tarsi fuscous ; the wings clear hyaline, iridescent, the stigma 

 fuscous; the nervures darker. $ . Length, 6-7 mm. 



Hah. Deesa (Nurse). 



AntenufB longer than the body, slender. Face closely and distinctly 

 punctured ; the clypeus almost impunctate ; nnmediately below the 

 antenna are two lougish, rounded tubercles. The ocellar region and 

 the middle of the occiput above are blackish. There are two stout 

 keels on the scutellar depressions. The keels forming the central area 

 on the metanotum are stout, oblique, and are united on the top ; they 

 are more distinct on the upper than on the lower half ; there is a 

 distinct keel below the spiracles. Legs thickly covered with white 

 pubescence. 



ICHNEUMONIDiE. 



Haliphera flavomaculata, sp. nov. 

 Black ; the inner orbits broadly below to the clypeal foveas, 

 narrowly above to the top of the eyes, a curved mark on the outer half
