ON PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA. 91 



Head and thorax densely covered with white pubescence. Face cloi-cly, fine- 

 ly punctured ; from each antenna) a stout keel runs down to shortly below the 

 face ; they converge below, the converging parts being much thinner than the 

 upper. A stout keel runs down from the lower, innerside of the outer antenna) 

 along the innerside of the eyes ; on the upper part of the front are some irre- 

 gular oblique stria?. Ocelli large, placed in a curve on the edge of the vertex. 

 Occiput transverse ; on its top are 2 stout and a thinner, lower curved keel. 

 Basal slope of pronotum smooth, the sides bordered by a stout keel ; the 

 propleurae irregularly, somewhat strongly striated. Mesonotum with 4 stout 

 longitudinal keels, the central stouter than the others ; it is irregularly trans- 

 versely striated. Sides and centre of scutellum stoutly keeled, the central 

 keel stouter than the others. There are 2 keels down the centre of the 

 metanotum. Meso- and metapleuras smooth and shining ; the latter thickly 

 covered with white pubescence. Abdominal petiole with the dilated basal 

 part as long as the hind coxae, smooth. The mesosternum is bordered 

 laterally by a shallow furrow. Antennas longer than the body, the 3rd 

 joint twisted, slightly longer than the 4th ; they are 14-jointed. 



I have described in Manchr. Memoirs, 1888, an Onychia siriolala from Bengal ; 

 it may be known by the thorax being entirely black, besides the structural 

 differences. 



Chalcidid^:. 

 L'eucaspis quettaensis, sp. nov. 

 Black, the sides of the head in front broadly, from the ocelli to shortly 

 below the eyes, the pronotum except the basal slope and a broad tranverso line 

 in the middle, a large markiin the centre of the mesonotum, transverse at the 

 base and apex, and gradually, but not much, narrowed towards the apex, the 

 scutellum, except at the base, the black on the base projecting as a triangular 

 wedge into the yellow, a mark, longer than wide, on the sides of the metanotum 

 its innerside straight, the outer gradually narrowed to the middle, a small 

 conical spot — the narrowed end below— under the wings, a large pyriform 

 mark, extending from the top to the bottom and with the wide end below 

 on the base of the metapleura?, a broad band on the apex of the 1st 

 abdominal segment, the mark commencing near the top of the apical slope • 

 following this are 2 broad transverse bands, the narrower, extending to 

 the sides and curved ; the 2nd broader, not reaching to the sides, not so 

 curved and with the sides more rounded, followed by a large, longer than 

 broad, mark, broadly rounded at the apex, and the apical three-fourths of the 

 ventral surface, yellow. Legs yellow ; the greater part of the 4 front coxce, the 

 hinder coxae except for a triangular mark on the innerside at the base above 

 the sides from shortly below the middle and the underside from behind the 

 middle and the teeth, all of which are black. Wings hyaline, suffused with 

 fulvous at the base, the apex with fuscous ; the basal nervures fulvous. The 

 3rd to 5th and the apical joints of the antennas are fulvous ; the scape is 

 fulvous red. $ .
