210 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



ovipositor, longer than the l)od3^ There is a transverse furrow 

 at the base of the scutellum, from either side of which a shorter 

 oblique one runs along the sides. As in the male, I can detect 

 no proper teeth on the mandibles ; the apex of the latter has a furrow 

 in the middle. 



Belongs to the Toryminae, in which it will form a new tribe 

 sufficient!}' characterized b}' the densely pilose nntenna3, and, 

 more particularly, by the presence of the oblique nervure issuing 

 from the submarginal. The latter is a feature which I cannot 

 find in any Chalcid in my collection, nor can I find any genus 

 described with such an additional nervure. 



Eutanycormus 'pilicornis, sp. n. 

 Black, smooth, and shining, sparsely covered with longish black 

 hair ; the antennal scape and legs rufo-testaceous, the mandibles and 

 oral region of a slightly darker rufo-testaceous colour ; wings hyaline, 

 the nervures blackish, the stigmal spot longish oval. 5 . Length, 

 5 mm. ; ovipositor, 8 mm. 



Kuching, Borneo (John Hewitt, B.A.). 



Metanotum, except the outer edges, transversely rugose ; a curved 

 crenulated furrow in the centre of the smooth outer part. Meta- 

 pleuras smooth above, the lower part striated at the base, the rest 

 coarsely aciculated, the middle broadly depressed. There is a wide 

 depression on the apex of the mesopleurse, formed by the apex of the 

 latter being depressed, and by the base of the metapleurae being 

 raised ; the depression does not reach to the top of the pleurae, and 

 is narrowed above ; it is finely, closely, longitudinally striated ; the 

 part above it is less closely striated. The collar is about one-half 

 longer than wide, and is roundly narrowed at the base. 



CLEONYMIN.E. 

 Taoga, gen. nov. 

 Antennae thirteen-jointed, the scape not reaching to the ocelli. 

 Eyes hairy, large, oval, the malar space as long as them. Parapsidal 

 furrows narrow but distinct. Scutellum large, its apex broadly 

 rounded. Metanotum short, its apex transverse above ; it has a steep 

 vertical slope. Abdomen sessile, its base transverse, fitting close to 

 the metanotum ; the second segment fully one-half the length of the 

 first, the third as long as them both united ; its apical half has a 

 central keel, which is prolonged along the back of the basal segment 

 of the ovipositor ; the latter is keeled along the sides ; it is as long 

 as the basal part of the abdomen ; the following segment is half its 

 length ; ])oth are densely pilose. The apical segments are apparently 

 absent. Marginal branch half the length of the submarginal ; the 

 stigmal short, thick, dilated at the apex; the post-marginal branch 

 short. Legs normal ; the tarsi five-jointed, the spurs short ; there 

 are two on middle tibiae ; the claws short and slender. The antennas 

 issue from near the base of the clypeus, below the eyes ; frontal de- 

 pression wider below than the eye orbits ; in the centre of the lower 

 half is a wide keel, narrowed towards the top, where it is raised.
