ON PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA. 587 



eyes more thickly covered with longer white pubescence. Pro- and mesothorax 

 strongly, closely punctured, the mesonotum more strongly than the pleurae • 

 these are densely covered with white pubescence. Scutellum punctured like 

 the mesonotum ; its basal depression deep, with 3 stout keels. Post-scutellum 

 smooth, depressed in the middle at the base. Metanotum closely, rugosely 

 punctured ; its centre with 2 curved keels, converging at the apex, on the top 

 of the apical slope ; there is an indistinct keel between them at the base. 

 Abdominal segments, except the apex of the 1st, strongly closely punctured. 



This is a Metopins, s. str., the head being as wide as the thorax ; and the 2nd 

 joint of the maxillary palpi is greatly swollen. 



M. rufus, Cam. (also from Abu), may be known by the rufous head and thorax. 



Ophionince. 

 Campoplex nursei, sp. nov. 



Black, a narrow short line on the lower side of the 2nd abdominal segment 

 at the apex, and the following, except irregularly above, rufous, the 4th and 

 6th with the top black mark larger than on the others ; the forelegs, except for 

 a broad line on the base of the femora, the apex of the middle femora, their 

 tibiae and tarsi and the hind tibiae except for a small black spot and a slightly 

 larger mark on their apex, pale whitish yellow, as are also all the calcaria ; 

 mandibles, except the teeth and the palpi pale yellow; wings clear hyaline, 

 the nervures and stigma pale yellow ; the areolet large, the nervures almost 

 touching in the middle ; the recurrent nervure received in the middle. $ . 



Length 12 mm. ; terebra 1 mm. 



Abu. 



Sides of front,' face, clypeus, mandibles, and outer orbits densely covered 

 with long silvery pubescence. Face and clypeus closely, rugosely punctured ; 

 the front and vertex much more sparsely punctured. Thorax more strongly 

 punctured than the face ; on the apex of the mesonotum the puncturation 

 runs into reticulation, and there is a striated space before the scutellum, which 

 is roundly convex and strongly, closely punctured, more or less striated. The 

 puncturation on the metanotum is close, more or less transversely striated ; 

 there is a weak curved transverse keel at the base, but no area ; the base of the 

 metanotum is more finely punctured than the rest. Except at the base the 

 propleuras are closely strongly striated ; the mesopleuree more strongly 

 punctured than the mesonotum, the punctures too are more clearly separated ; 

 behind the middle is a strongly striated band, the apex itself being smooth ; the 

 metapleurae are more closely, finely punctured, smoother behind the spiracles. 



Characteristic of this species are the yellow hind tibiae. 



Tarytia, gen. nov. 



Wings without an areolet, the recurrent nervure received on the outerside 



of the transverse cubital, almost interstitial. Parallel nervure broken shortly 



above the middle ; transverse median nervure interstitial, apical nervures in 



hind wings entirely absent. Clypeus not separated from the face, its apex
