the apex. Mesopleure without a furrow, but the mesoternum appears to be 
bordered by a distinct, if shallow, furrow. Antenne slender, longer than the 
body, 14-jointed, the joints longish, of about the same length and thickness. 
Parapsidal furrows obsolete. Scutellum at the base with a distinct crenulated 
furrow. Stigma wide, about 3 times longer than it is wide at the radius; 
parastigma distinct. 2nd cubital cellule small, shorter along the radius than 
along the cubitus. Palpi long. 
In the arrangement of Szépligeti (Gen. Ins. Braconide, 159) this genus runs 
to Hedylus which differs from it in the radius leaving the stigma beyond the 
middle, by the mesonotal furrows being distinct, by there being a crenulated 
mesoplural furrow, by the recurrent nervure being interstitial and by there 
being no anal nervure. From all the described genera it differs in the keeled 
metanotal and basal abdominal segments. 
Stiropius carinatus, sp. n. 
Black, the head, prothorax and antennal scape testaceous, the sides of the 
abdomen narrowly above, the ventral surface, palpi and the legs whitish testa- 
ceous ; the flagellum fuscous, almost testaceous at the base ; wings hyaline, 
iridescent, the stigma and nervures pallid testaceous, the stigma almost white 
in the centre. Female. Length 2m.m.; ovipositor5m.m. “ A leaf miner.” 
No doubt it is a parasite on a Dipterous leaf-miner. 
Head, pro-and mesothorax smooth, the metanotum opaque, alutaceous, a 
stout keel down its centre. Basal 2 segments of abdomen opaque, alutaceous, 
almost aciculated, the 2nd with a few scattered punctures ; there is a keel down 
the centre, the keel on the 2nd is the stronger. The 2nd segment is about one- 
third longer than the Ist or 3rd, which are of about the same length ; the oviposi- 
tor is as long as the 3rd.
