556 On Two new Species of Bracon. 
above and the pleure smooth and shining, the median 
segment broad, smooth, evenly rounded, the sides with an 
irregular, large, longitudinally impressed depression. Abdo- 
men broad, the basal segment with well-marked lateral 
furrows diverging towards the apical margin of the segment, 
the middle near the apex bearing a short longitudinal carina; 
abdominal sutures distinct, that between the second and third 
segments crenulate, the second segment with a diamond- 
shaped raised plane in the middle at base, beyond which the 
depressed dorsal surface of the segment is coarsely rugose ; 
the apical margin smooth and shining, the second, third, and 
fourth segments with short, lateral, oblique furrows, which 
are distinctly crenulate; the rest of the abdomen above 
smooth and shining. 
3. Closely resembles the female, but is longer, with a 
narrower abdomen ; the antenne brownish yellow; the apical 
joints of the intermediate and posterior tarsi fuscous; the 
dorsal surface of the sixth, not fifth, abdominal segment 
black, the second to fourth segments with oblique lateral 
depressions and transverse furrows arching towards the bases 
of the segment: wings narrower, the fuscous clouds on the 
fore wing smaller. 
?. Length 12 millim. to apex of abdomen; ovipositor 
15 millim.; expanse 20 millim. 
6. Length 14 millim.; expanse 20 millim. 
Allied to B. agraensis, Cameron, but differing in the 
colour of the wings and considerably in the sculpture of the 
thorax and abdomen. 
Bracon famulus, sp. n. 
?. Resembles the preceding, but the head is broader, 
flattened above, and abruptly truncated at the occiput, the 
thorax larger proportionately, the median segment with a 
longitudinal medial groove, along the middle of which is a 
short raised carina; the abdominal segments coarsely rugu- 
lose above, the apical segment smooth and shining, the sutures 
between the second, third, fourth, and fifth segments indis- 
tinctly crenulate, the second and third segments with oblique 
lateral depressions. Fulvous yellow, the antenne deep 
brownish black; a large circular black spot on either side of 
the third segment at apex ; posterior tibie and tarsi fuscous, 
basal half of the sheath of the ovipositor black: wings hyaline 
yellow, fuscous on the apical half of both wings; fore wing with 
a fuscous cloud on either side of the basal nervure, succeeded 
by a clear hyaline spot in the first cubital, passing into the 
discoidal cell; the basal portion of the stigma yellow; a
