NEW SPECIES OF HYMENOPTERA FROM INDIA. 107 



BRACONIDiE. 



Iphiaulax elizeus, sp. nov. 



Luteous ; the antennge, front, vertex, the occiput, the upper half 

 of the outer orbits, and the apical abdominal segment black ; the face, 

 clypeus, and malar space, and upper half of the inner orbits, pale 

 yellow ; the wings to the transverse basal neivure and the basal half 

 of the stigma yellow ; beyond that dark fuscous ; the apex of the 

 hinder tibiae broadly, and the hinder tarsi black. ^ and ? . Length 8, 

 terebra 2 mm. 



Hab. Deesa (Nurse). 



Head smooth and shining, the face sparsely covered with pale hair ; 

 mandibles pale rufous. Back of abdomen irregularly rugosely punc- 

 tured ; the sutures on the second, third, and fourth segments are wide 

 and stoutly striated ; on the sides of the fifth the furrow is wide, 

 closely and finely striated ; the furrows on the apex of the fifth and 

 sixth segments are narrow, distinct, and deep ; there is no keel or 

 distinct plate on the base of the second segment. The base of the first 

 cubital cellule is hyaline, broadly above and below ; the cloud on the 

 posterior wings commences opposite that on the anterior. 



Iphiaulax smenus, sp. nov. 



Rufous, the flagellnm of the antennae black ; the wings dark 

 fuscous, the first cubital cellule and a spot below it hyaline, the stigma 

 yellowish fulvous ; the mesonotum and scutellum sparsely but dis- 

 tinctly punctured ; the median segment closely and strongly punc- 

 tured. <? and ? . Length 8-11 mm., ovipositor 13-16 mm. 



Hab. Deesa (Nurse). 



Vertex smooth ; the front with a deep furrow, its sides finely and 

 closely punctured ; the sides of the face somewhat strongly and 

 closely punctured. Clypeus almost smooth, except close to the apex. 

 Mandibles punctured and rufous at the base, the apex black. Parap- 

 sidal furrows distinct, narrow, deep, indistinctly crenulated. Median 

 segment thickly covered with white pubescence. Petiole coarsely 

 rugosely punctured, except in the centre at the apex ; the lateral 

 furrows with a few transverse keels ; the second, third, and fourth 

 segments are more closely rugosely punctured ; the transverse and 

 oblique furrows are closely striated ; the apices of the segments are 

 smooth ; the oblique furrows on the second segment are stoutly 

 striated, the hollow at their apex smooth. There is no plate or keel 

 on the base of the second segment. The basal four segments of the 

 abdomen are together as long as the head and thorax united. 



Agrees in coloration (except that the hinder tibiae and tarsi 

 are not black) with I. imnjabenses, Cam., but that species has the 

 ovipositor only as long as the body, and the abdomen is shorter 

 and broader. The species varies considerably in size. The 

 male has (or may have) the apical segments of the abdomen 

 black.
