is a stoutly crenulated furrow. Metanotum finely aciculated, almost smootli. 

 Basal third of propleurae smooth, the apex above finely closely punctured, 

 below more strongly closely, obliquely striated. Base of mesopleurae finely 

 aciculated, the base and middle finely striated the apex finely striated, bor- 

 dered behind by a narrow clearly defined crenulated furrow which extends 

 along the sternum to the apex. Basal half of metapleurae smooth, the apical 

 finely, closely reticulated, the two parts separated by a smooth oblique 

 furrow. Mesosternum with a wide furrow deepest on outerside. On the sides, 

 the hind tarsi are dilated, becoming gradually thinner towards the apex ; 

 the basal joint is as long as the following two united ; the spurs thick, sharply 

 pointed at the apex, closely, thickly serrated below, the claws small, curved. 

 Mandibles tridentate, the apical tooth longer and sharper than the basal, 

 which are bluntly rounded of equal size. 



Phlebopenes Perty is identical with Prionopelma West. It is a genus 

 well represented in the JNeotropical Region and contains some of the largest 

 Chalcids. 



Elachistin^e. 



Elachistus carinatus. sp. n. 



Black, shining, the antennas testaceous, darker towards the apex, the legs 

 yellowish fulvous, the coxae and apex of femora with the fulvous tint brighter 

 redder ; the abdomen on the basal half broadly pale testaceous. Head and 

 thorax spars j ly covered with long white hair ; the legs densely covered with 

 white pubescence. Head and prothorax smooth, the mesonotum to 2iear the 

 apex strongh closely, transversely striated. Scutellum finely, closely, dis- 

 tinctly punctured, the ribs sides smooth and shining. Pleurae smooth the 

 propleurae depressed in the middle. The antennae are sparsely covered with 

 long white hairs. Male. Length, 3 mm. 



Bred from larva of Hawk-Moth. 



The mesonotum has a distinct keel down the middle. Face broadly, 

 roundly keeled in the middle, not separated from the clypeus. Prothorax 

 prominent, narrowed, clearly separated from the mesonotum, which has 

 narrow, but distinct parapsidal furrows and a distinct keel down the middle. 

 Scutellum large, narrow at the base, bordered there laterally by oblique fur- 

 rows, the apex bluntly rounded. Abdomen short, ovate, flat, shortly, but 

 distinctly pedunculated. The short hind spur not quite so long as the meta- 

 tarsus, the longer as long as the basal two joints united.

Antennae 10-jointed,the last three forming an indistinct club, the pediocle 

 smooth, narrowed at the base, twice longer than wide, the others pilose, wider 

 than long ; they are placed immediately over the clypeus, which is clearly
