cubital cellules ; the stigma and nervures fuscous ; the basal nervures paler 

 than the others, the stigma darker in front. $ . 



Length 5 mm. 



Ferozepore. March (Major C. G-. Nurse). 



Middle of mandibles rufous. Clypeus shining, closely distinctly punctured ; 

 its apical half depressed ; it is clearly separated from the face ; the lest 

 of the head closely rugosely punctured, more or less striated ; the sides 

 of the vertex with distinct curved striae. Thorax closely rugose ; the 

 middle of mesonotum irregularly longitudinally reticulated, striated, weakly 

 at the base, more strongly at the apex. Median segment longitudinally 

 reticulated ; deeply and strongly on the apical slope, which has, on the 

 sides above, a stout triangular tooth. Abdomen with the basal half strongly, 

 closely, irregularly, longitudinally striated, the striaa becoming gradually 

 weaker ; the apex is alutaceous, covered densely with a close white pile. 

 Antennae over 30-jointed ; the apex is broken off. Palpi blackish, fuscous 

 towards the apex. The punctuation on the lower part of the mesopleurae is 

 coarse and runs into reticulations.

 Pseudapanteles leptothecus, sp. nov. 



Black, densely covered with short white pubescence, shining, the apex of 

 interior femora broadly, their tibiae and tarsi, the basal third of the middle 

 tibiae, the middle tarsi and the basal third of the hind tibiae, testaceous ; the 

 spurs paler ; wings very clear hyaline, almost lacteous, the costa, stigma and 

 nervures almost white. $ 



Length 4 - 5 mm. ; terebra 2 mm. 



Deesa. January. 



Scutellum large, longer than wide, narrowed towards the apex, shining, 

 smooth, glabrous. Postscutellum longer than wide, bordered by 2 stout keels, 

 which hardly converge at the base. Metanotum smooth, shining, glabrous ; 

 the apical slope with an indistinct pyriform depression. First abdominal seg- 

 ment almost square, depressed in the middle at the base ; the other segments are 

 wider than long, transverse, smooth and shining ; the apical is covered with white 

 pubescence. Sheath of ovipositor broad, narrowed at the base. Pterostigma 

 large, widest in the middle, the basal slope rounded, the apical straight, 

 oblique. Pleural furrow wide, deep, covered with white pubescence which 

 gives it a striated appearance. 



This species belongs to the genus Pseudapanteles, Ashm, which, however, is 

 not recognised as valid by Szepligeti, who sinks it in Apanieles, (Hal.) al 

 Cf. Genera Ins. Braconidas, p. 105. 



Agathince. 



Disoplirys laticeps, sp. nov. 



Luteous, the antennae, except the scape above, black, wings fuscous, the base 

 to the middle of the transverse basal nervure arid a cloud, gradually narrowed
