are shallow furrows along the base of the 3rd and fourth segments. Sheath of 
ovipositor stout, thickened towards the apex. 
Bracon longicanaliculatus, sp.n. 
Black, the basal 4 abdominal segments and the sides of the 5th narrowly at 
the base, bright red; the 4 front legs testaceous, the anterior paler, more 
yellowish than the middle, their apical tarsal points black; the hind 
legs black; the trochanters, apex of femora narrowly and base of tibie 
more broadly (about the length of the shorter hind spur) black; the 
short hind spur black, the outer dark red. The apical half of the last 
abdominal segment is pale yellow, wings yellowish hyaline, a fuscous cloud runs 
from the hinder part of the transverse basal inside of which it is rounded, 
continued along the outerside of the transverse median (which it does not touch) 
to the parastigma, then obliquely along the basal abscissa of the cubitus to the 
posterior part of the wing, outside the recurrent and discoidal nervures there is 
a large apical cloud, commencing at the end of the stigma and roundly curved 
at the base; the hind wings have the apical half fuscous, with an irregular 
hyaline cloud near the apex, the stigma and nervures in the hyaline parts 
fulvous yellow ; the recurrent nervure is received close to the apex of the lst 
cubital cellule. The abdomen is more than twice the length of the thorax, 
the basal 2 segments are narrow, the lst not quite one-quarter longer than 
the 2nd ; there is a triangular depression in the centre of its base; there the 
sides are broad and rounded ; the broad furrow along the sides of the apical 
two-thirds ; there is a broad, deep furrow along the sides of the 2nd, from the 
base to the apex, and an oblique one on the basal two-thirds of the 3rd; the 
3rd and following segments form a iongish oval. 
Bracon fuscinervis, sp.n. 
Ferruginous, the antenne, head, palpi, lower part of propleure, prosterum, 
the 5th following abdominal segments and the legs black : wings fuscous, the 
costa and fore-part of the stigma black ; the hinder part of the stigma and the 
nervures fuscous ; the base of the cubitus straight, angled at the junction with 
the apical part, which is oblique and slightly rounded ; the recurrent nervure is 
received close to the apex of the Ist cubital cellule. Smooth, shining. The keel on 
the 2nd abdominal segments well defined, smooth, broad, gradually narrowed, 
the base twice the width of the apex, bordered by wide, deep furrows ; the 
lateral furrows wide, deep ; at their apex is a short, narrow oblique furrow. The 
1st transverse furrow smooth, bifurcated on the sides, the enclosed area triangu- 
lar ; there is a narrow, smooth furrow on the base of the 3rd mesonotum flat. 
Bracon obscurilineatus sp.n. 
Black, the thorax rufo-testaceous, the prosternum and lower part of the 
propleure—almost three-fourths—to near the apex, black; the basal 4 seg- 
ments of the abdomen distinctly tinged with rufous; the 4 front legs rufo- 
testaceous, the anterior femora infuscated at top and bottom; the middle 
black rufous, in the middle; the hind legs black, the trochanters rufo-testa- 
ceous, the tibie and tarsi lighter in tint, the spurs testaceous ; the apical joint 
of the 4 anterior tarsi black ; wings yellowish hyaline, a fuscous cloud at the
