MR. A. MURRAY'S MONOGRAPH OF THE FAMILY OF NITIDULARIA. 301 
right-angled, exterior apical angles rounded. Abdomen somewhat rugosely punctate and 
pubescent, the punctures variolose; the segments with a line along the posterior margin ; 
fimbrie with the inner margin nearly straight, and, on the pygidium, continuing parallel 
to the outer margin nearly to the apex. Legs ferrugineo-piceous. 
From Mysol, an island to the north of Ceram. A unique specimen was found by 
Mr. Wallace, and is now in the British Museum. 
** Body broad. Scutellum quadrangular, or nearly so.

Habitat in Borneo prope Sarawak. 
Oblong, broad, depressed, opaque, rugosely punctate, black, cinereo-pubescent. Head 
thickly but lightly rugosely punctate, deeply bifoveolate on each side in front; antennæ 
and mouth piceous; maxillæ testaceous, Thorax slightly shining, more strongly rugosely 
punctate, with a large, rather deep fovea on each side near the posterior angles, with 
the sides and base margined, narrower in front than behind, strongly bisinuate at the 
base, with the posterior angles nearly right-angled, rather sharp, and slightly pointing 
backwards, the anterior angles obtuse, rounded, and declinate; the sides are Fig. 67. 
very slightly and almost imperceptibly ciliated. Scutellum (fig. 67) transverse, Xa 
subrectangular. Elytra subquadrate, broader than long, feebly costate; the 
sutural costa straight, the rest oblique, with a long triangular interstice between the 
suturaland the second costa; the interstices flat, broad, irregularly rugosely punctate ; 
the shoulders rather large, not very prominent; the sides rather deeply margined, not 
very much inflexed; the apex truncate and feebly margined, and the external apical 
angles rounded. "Abdomen broad and expanded, the sides rounded; the fimbrize rather 
broad, curved, and slightly raised at the inner margin. Underside thickly but less 
rugosely punctate. Legs rather slender, nigro-piceous ; tarsi paler, testaceo-piceous. 
There is a smaller variety found at Singapore, which differs in no respect, that I can 
see, except size. It is about 23 lines in length and 1 line in breadth, instead of being 
3 lines by 1$. 
It is interesting to find a tendency to the ciliated sides which are characteristic of the 
Australian Brachypepli, in a species inhabiting a country which approaches their 
locality. 
Found under bark by Mr. Wallace at Sarawak and at Singapore.
