PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA OF BALUCHISTAN. 277 



liquely narrowed at the base ; the apical slope is smoother and shining ; it is 

 surrounded by a keel ; the spiracles are small, round. Abdominal petiole long, 

 longer than the 2nd segment ; the post-petiole is dilated and clearly separated ; 

 the spiracles are placed close to its middle ; the spiracles on the 2nd segment 

 are placed shortly behind the middle. The abdomen is smooth ; not compress- 

 ed, the middle not much narrower than the thorax ; the sheath of the ovi- 

 positor projects, but not beyond the dorsal apex ; it is broad, stout ; the last 

 ventral segment projects bluntly. Pterostigma thick, rounded behind ; the 

 areolet is 5-angled, narrowed in front, receiving the recurrent nervure in the 

 middle ; the transverse median nervure is interstitial. The radial cellule is 

 short, widened and angled at the areolet ; the apical nervures in the hind 

 wings are obsolete. Clypeus not separated from the face ; a large depression at 

 the sides ; its apex broadly rounded. 



In the arrangement of Dr. Ashmead (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXI II, 95) 

 this species runs into 1 ranosema. As, however, no complete description of that 

 genus has been given, it is possible that it may not belong to it ; in that case, the 

 species may form the type of a new genus. 



Tranosema f spilostoma, sp. nov. 



Length 6 mm. 9. 



Peshin, April. 



Similar in size and colouration to T. (?) striata, except that the apical half 

 of the clypeus is reddish-fulvous, it differs otherwise in the thorax not being 

 striated, nor is the petiole ; the petiolar area is not so wide at the base com- 

 pared with the length ; the areola at the base is narrowed from the middle 

 instead of from the basal third and is not so distinctly closed at the base ; the 

 dilated part of the abdominal petii le is equal in length with the narrowed 

 basal part, while in T. (?) striata the post-petiole is distinctly shorter than it : 

 the transverse cubital nervures are united in front, while in striata they arc 

 separated ; and the 2nd discoidal cellule is wider at the apex, compared with 

 the base ; in striata it is not much more than twice ; in spilostoma, fully 3 times. 



Barylypa pilosella, sp. nov. 



Black ; the face, clypeus, the inner orbits to near the ocelli, the line obliquely 

 narrowed above, the outer entirely, the basal half of the mesonotum on the 

 sidis, the line continued on the outer side to the apex of the tegulse, scutellum, 

 the lower half of the mesopleurae and the others almost entirely yellow; the 

 yellow bordered more or less with rufous ; abdomen red, the basal half of the 

 1st, a liue on the top of the 2nd, the apex of the 5th, the top and apex of the 

 Gth and the 7th segments entirely, black. Four front legs yellow ; the middle 

 trochanters and base of femora marked above with black ; hind legs yellow, the 

 coxae above, the femora above and below, the tibiae above and below at the 

 apex and the apical jjiats of tb.3 tarsi, black. Wings hyaline, the stigma 

 testaceous, the nervures black ; the recurrent nervure interstitial. $ .
