Probably the amount of black on the legs varies. The apical joint of 

 the tarsi may be black. Bred from eggs of the hawk-moths, Dilophonota ello 

 and Anceryx caicus. 



Telenomus atripes, sp. n. 

 Black, shining, the knees and tibiae and tarsi testaceous, the apex of 

 tibiae infuscated, the rest of the legs fuscous rather than black, the antennae 

 dark testaceous, the apical four joints forming a not very distinct club, the 

 basal three joints wider than long, the apical conical, longer than wide, the 

 pedicle almost twice longer than wide ; narrowed at the base, the middle joints 

 are slightly wider than long, transversely oval. Wings hyaline, the nervures 

 pale testaceous; the edges are distinctly ciliated. Female. Length, \ to 

 | of mm. 



Bred from eggs of a Noctuid ("cutworm.") 



Head distinctly wider than the thorax, which is longer than the abdomen. 

 The colour of the legs varies, they may be almost entirely black ; the fuscous

Scelionini. 



Macrotelia ery thro pus. sp. n. 



Black, the legs red, the antennal scape of a slightly darker red, the apex 

 slightly and narrowly blackish, the 2nd and 3rd joints piceous, the 4th and 

 5th of a darker piceous colour below ; wings clear hyaline, the nervures pale 

 fuscous, the stigmal branch more than twice the length of the marginal. 

 Abdomen one half longer than the head and thorax united, the lateral keel 

 stout, shining. Mesonotum with a furrow down the middle ; this furrow is 

 wider at the base, through the sides being obliquely sloped. Scutellum 

 bordered by oblique, clearly defined furrows and with a triangular fovea 

 in the centre of the basal half. Tegulae piceous. Densely covered with 

 white pubescence. Sides of apical abdominal segment projecting into long 

 spines above. Male. Length, 4 mm. 



A stout keel runs down from the ocelli and is continued down the sides 

 of the frontal furrow ; it is bordered on both sides by three stout oblique keels. 

 Centre of vertex irregularly finely rugose ; there are three stout oblique keels 

 on the sides, the lower sides curved. Eyes margined. The outer orbits on the 

 inner half with two rows of foveae formed by stout keels. The occiput margined 

 with a crenulated border on the innerside. Pronotum smooth, the apex 

 margined by a keel which runs down the pleurae shortly behind the middle, 

 the upper (and longer) part there being roundly curved. The upper apical 

 part of the propleuiae is coarsely reticulated bordeied below by a rounded 

 keel ; in the centre of the lower part are 2 keels, dividing it into four parts. 

 There is a keel down the centre of the mesonotum, the parts on either side of it 

 being depressed. Base of mesoplen.rae stoutly, longitudinally striated. Post 

 scutellum bordered by stout curved keels ; the part on either side crenulated 

 stoutly and bordered by a keel ; the base of the metanotum is bordered by a
