-wide at the apex ; the keels reach to the middle ; the 2nd to 5th segments 

 strongly punctured ; the 3rd to 5th closely and regularly ; the 2nd with the 

 punctures larger and sparser and with a smooth space down the middle. 

 Antennas blackish above, brownish below on the flagellum, yellow on the scape 

 Apical third of hind tibise with short rufous spines, the lower part with more 

 than the upper. Ovipositor as long as the basal 3 joints of the hind tarsi united. 

 Xanthopimpla nursei, sp. nov. 



Luteous, tinged with rufous, the head pale lemon-yellow, with a black mark 

 covering the ocelli and extending below close to the antennas, the mark be- 

 coming narrowed below ; 2 large oval marks on the centre of mesonotum on 

 the lateral lobes, a spot on the depression behind the tegulas, 2 oblique, ovate 

 marks on the base of mesonotum, an irregular stripe across the middle of 1st 

 abdominal segment, its centre narrowed and irregular, transverse marks on the 

 2nd to 5th, those on the 4th and 5th broader and more regular ; and 2 large 

 irregularly ovate marks on the 7th, black. Antennas brownish black above. 

 Wings hyaline, the stigma and nervures black. Ovipositor as long as the basal, 

 4 joints of the hind tarsi united. 9 . 



Length 12 mm., terebra 2 mm. 



Parapsidal furrows deep ; indicated on the basal slope only. Areola large, 

 6-angled, narrowed at the base, as long as it is wide in the middle, before it 

 begins to narrow ; the lateral areas not much narrowed on the innerside. Except 

 at the base of the mesonotum in the middle, where it is weakly punctured, 

 the whole of the thorax is smooth and shining ; the mesonotum is thickly 

 covered with whitish pubescence. Face closely, strongly punctured, the sides 

 more weakly than the centre ; the clypeus is not separated from it. Labrnm 

 long, gradually narrowed to a point. First abdominal segment impunctate ; 

 the 2nd at the base and middle smooth, the rest strongly punctured, the 

 punctures clearly separated ; the 2nd to 5th are closely, strongly punctured, 

 except at the raised apices ; the transverse furrow on the apex of the 2nd is 

 wider and with the punctures larger and deeper. Basal slope of 1st segment 

 strongly keeled on either side. Areolet small, triangular, almost appendiculated. 



The middle of the face above and on the sides is bordered by shallow furrows ; 

 the face is as long as broad. Scutellar keels distinct from the base to the apex ; 

 higher at the base than at the apex. The 1st abdominal segment is one-half 

 longer than it is wide at the apex. Apex of tibias with 2 rows of short spines. 



The orange colour may be owing to discolouration. 



Cryptin^. 

 Cratocryptus rvfipes, sp. nov. 

 Black ; the eye orbits on the innerside and below, the line on the lower part 

 dilated above, a squarish mark in the centre of the face, clypeus, basal half 

 of mandibles, the dilated basal part of pronotum, a line on the propleuras, at 

 the base below, tegulas, scutellum, the sides of metanotum at the apex broadly, 

 the mark extending narrowly on to the pleurae a large, irregularly oval mark
