in the female are not dilated. 4. Gastrocistrus ; in this genus 

 the second and third joints of the antennas are very minute ; 

 it has more affinity to Spalangia than to CalUmonw or EupeU 

 miis. 5. Trichogramma ; the species described is only one- 

 seventh of a line in length ; it has the scutum of ihemesothorax 

 very much developed, the scutellum very small ; we believe its 

 tarsi are tetramerous. 6. Ajjrostocetus, likewise, has the 

 tarsi tetramerous ; the oviduct is exserted. 7. Emholemus ; a 

 singular genus, having wings like Ahjsia; and antennce like 

 Proctrotrupes. 8. Hemisius ; allied to T(^/e«ow^^^5, Haliday.

Head, between the eyes, deep oohreous; mesothorax, grey-green 

 approaching to brown after death; it has several darker shades, 

 and two black spots, near the hinder margin of its scutum ; the seg- 

 ments then are greenish-brown and unicolorous to the teluni, 

 which is, in the female, elongate, and of a clear ferruginous brown. 

 The wings are clear, with the exception of four small fuscous 

 spots either on or near their upper margin; the first of these 

 is situated half-way from the insertion towards the tip, and is 

 quite marginal ; the second is a little farther from the insertion, 

 and not quite marginal ; the third and fourth are still exterior, 

 and are perfectly marginal. The legs are brown. (Breadth 5hn.) 



Taken in June, July, and August, in the Isle of Wight, 

 Coombe, Birch, and Darent woods, on the Centaurea nigra ; 

 in size and form it much resembles Teph. Curnuta.
