The Hymenoptera of the Georgetown Museum. I .*].'> 



large, oblique, rounded tubercle, its sides closely strongly striated, the striae 

 curved roundly ; the base of the 2nd segment has a striated border ; it is 

 much longer than any of the others, twice the length of the 1st. The abdomen 

 becomes gradually narrowed to a fine point. 



The male is similar, differing only in the longer, non-clavate antennae 

 and in the shorter abdomen which is as long as the head and thorax united, 

 it is broader, not narrowed to a point at the apex, but forming a longish 

 oval. Female. Length 2.5, Male 2 mm. 



The specimens are labelled " Bred from egg-sack of mantis i " If correct 

 this would be a new host, for the group-species of other genera pre known, 

 however as parasites in the eggs of Orthoptera. 



Telenomus pulchricornis. sp. n. 



Black, the antennal scape and the basal four or fiv^, joints of the flagellum 

 rufo-fu'vouSjthe legs pale rufo-testaceous, the wings hyaline, the nervures pp.'e 

 testaceous; the apical five joints of antennae form a distinct club, thickened 

 wider than long, the joint at its base narrower, more transversely ovate, wider 

 than the joint at its base. Head smooth aid shining, distinctly wider than 

 the thorax. Eyes large, parallel. Ocelli in a wide curve, the hinder placed at 

 the extreme edge of the vertex, touching the eyes. Mesonotum opaque 

 closely punctured, thickly covered with short white pubescence. Pleurae 

 smooth, shining, the apex of mesopleurae crenulated. 1st abdominal segment 

 strongly striated the Vase of the 2nd with a narrow crenulated border, the 

 abdomen is flattened, broadly ovate, not much longer than the thorax. Female. 

 Length, a little more than 1 mm. 



Antennae thickly covered with white pubescence Looked at from behind 

 the mesonotum is seen to be striated at its apex. Scivtellum very smooth 

 bare and shining, margined behind by a crenulated border, just before its 

 apex ; post-scutellum continuous with this, opaque, finely rugose. The 1st 

 funicular joint twice the length of the pedicle ; the flagellum twice the length 

 of the scape. 



The specimens are marked as being reared from eggs of " plant bug." 



Telenomus dilophonotce, sp. n. 



Black, the apex of coxae narrowly, trochanters, base and apex of tibiae 

 and the tarsi whitish yellow; wings h} T aline, the i ervures pallid testaceous. 

 The antennas are not quite black, having a fuscous tint, the apical joints, 

 forming the club, are clearly separated, the bas* 1 one smaller than the others, 

 the apical conical, the others wider than long, the basal 32 joints of the flagel- 

 lum longer than wide, the others shorter, as wide as long. Smooth shining, 

 almost bare ; the eyes large, projecting. Abdomen longish ovate, longer 

 than the thorax, its basal segment slightly wider than long, striated, the 

 segment entirely smooth. Female. Length hardly 1 mm.
