ON PARASITIC EYMENOPTERA. 583 



■white ; the mandibles, except the teeth, rufous ; wings hyaline, the nervures 

 and stigma black ; the head and thorax densely covered with silvery pube- 

 scence, calcaria minute, hardly as long as the width of the apex of tibiae. 

 Collar as long as the temples, densely covered with longish white pile ; finely 

 rugose, a stout keel down its centre. Occiput transverse, margined ; it is not 

 quite so wide as the length of the temples ; ocelli in a curve, the hinder 

 separated from each other by a distinctly greater distance than they are from 

 the eyes — by more than the length of the antennal scape. Basal 2 joints of 

 antennal flagellum united, as long as the 3rd, which is longer (but not much) 

 than the 4th. Mesonotum opaque, covered with white pubescence ; the 

 puncturation is distinct; tbe punctures clearly separated ; the apex is flat in 

 the centre. Scutellum sparsely punctured laterally, the centre opaque, almost 

 impunctate ; the basal furrow is transverse, narrow, but distinct. Median 

 segment closely, rugosely punctured; towards the apex it bears round, separated 

 punctures. Pleurae alutaceous, densely covered with silvery pubescence. 

 Parapsidal furrows narrow, oblique. Pleurae alutaceous, densely covered with 

 silvery pubescence. 9 . 



Length 11-12 mm. ; terebra 7 mm. 



Abu. 



The hind legs are unfortunately absent. 



Evania deesaensis, sp. nov. 



Black ; the antennal scape, the first joint of flagellum, the 2nd and base of 3rd 

 rufo-testaceous ; the fore legs testaceous, the middle femora and trochanters 

 almost fuscous ; wings hyaline, the nervures and stigma testaceous, the 

 stigma darker coloured than the nervures. Face strongly obliquely striated, the 

 striae stout, clearly separated, converging towards the middle of the face below ; 

 the upper part of the face being quite smooth. Sternal process Y-shaped ; the 

 apical forks straight, oblique. $. 



Length 4 mm. 



Deesa. February. 



Eyes parallel ; the upper inner orbits bordered by 2 longitudinal strise 3 ot 

 which the outer is the more distinct. Ocelli in a curve ; the hinder separated 

 from each other by almost double the distance they are from the eyes. The 

 antennal pedicle and the following joint together are as long as the scape ; 

 the 3rd is distinctly shorter than the 2nd and about the same length as the 

 4th. Apex of pronotum transverse, with the sides rounded. Parapsidal furrows 

 deep, converging towards the apex; the space between them covered with round, 

 distinct, clearly separated punctures ; the outer edge of the mesonotum 

 bordered by a narrow keel ; inside this is a stouter keel, which unites with the 

 parapsidal furrows, forming a triangular area. Scutellum rugosely punctured. 

 Median segment regularly, closely reticulated. Propleurae filled up with 3 rows 

 of deep punctures. Upper half of mesopleurae smooth, shining ; the lower 

 covered with round, not very clearly separated punctures. Abdominal petiole 

 a little longer than the metanotum, stoutly, sharply, longitudinally striated.
