CAMERON—HYMENOPTERA. 81 
Brullé (Hymén. iv. 89) describes, under Pimpla, two species (macula and vittata) 
from Bourbon, which clearly are to be referred to Hehthromorpha. Both are closely 
related to the present species. 
The distribution of Hehthromorpha is peculiar ; species are found in the Indo- 
Malay Subregion of the Oriental, in Indo- and Austro-Malaya, in South Africa, 
Australia, and the genus is widely spread in Oceanic Islands—in Tahiti, the Sandwich 
Islands, Saint Helena, and Ascension. For a genus containing less than 20 species 
(so far as known) the distribution is certainly very extensive. 
24. Hehthromorpha latibalteata, sp. nov. 
Yellow, with the following parts black: the centre of the front broadly, the ocellar 
region (the black on it united to the black on the front), the occiput (except at the 
sides), three lines on the mesonotum (the longer central narrower than the lateral), 
a broad line down the middle of the metanotum, propleurze except at the base (the 
mark continued under the tubercles and united to a line down the apex of mesopleure, 
the latter obliquely dilated below forwards and obliquely backwards on to the 
mesosternum), a line on the metapleurze above the spiracles, enclosing them narrowly 
down the sides, a large mark, rounded at the base, dilated at the apex, on the middle 
of the first abdominal segment, the basal two-thirds of the five following and the base 
of the last broadly. Legs yellow, tinged with rufous, the red on the posterior more 
largely developed than on the others; the hind coxze on the inner side to near the apex, 
a spot on the outer half in the centre, narrowed behind, a broad line on the inner side 
of the femora and a shorter, more irregular one on the outer, black. Antennze black, 
brownish at the base of the flagellum below; the scape yellow, black above. Wings 
hyaline, suffused with fulvous at the base, the stigma fuscous; the cloud occupies the 
apex of the radial cellule entirely and extends into the cubital, in which it is narrowed 
at the apex. Smooth; the mesonotum sparsely punctured in the middle. Metapleure 
sparsely punctured at the base. The third and fourth segments of the abdomen are 
punctured distinctly in the middle ; the last segment has the apical half brownish rufous. 
Antennal joints distinctly nodose beyond the middle. ¢. 
Length 13-14 mm. 
Localities. Chagos, Peros Banhos, in June, 
The basal segment of the abdomen is slightly, roundly narrowed to the spiracles; the 
oblique furrows on the sides of the segments are distinct. 
Braconide. BRACONINZ. 
[25. Iphiaulax fletcheri, sp. nov. 
Black, the head, pro- and mesothorax, and the front legs red; the palpi black, densely 
covered with white hair; wings dark fuscous, the stigma to the radial nervure pale 
ochraceous, the rest of it and the nervures black. ¢. 
Length 10 mm.; terebra 5 mm.
