108 Timehri. 



4 times longer than wide. Wings hyaline, the nervures testaceous. Apex of 

 scutellum projecting, with a shallow incision, its sides broadly rounded. 

 Metanotal area? large, irregular ; the basal row distinct, the central large ; the 

 middle slightly wider than long, the others longer than wide. Female. 

 Length, 7 mm. 



Sides of front closely reticulated punctured, the hollow finely, closely 

 striated. The basal slope of pronotum aciculated, the rest, the mesonotum 

 and the scutellum closely, reticulated — punctured. There are 3 stout curved 

 keels on the lower part of the propleurae, the 3 uniting at the base ; there 

 are stout curved striae in the centre of the upper part ; the apex above is finely 

 closely punctured ; the upper basal two-thirds of the mesopleurae irregularly, 

 not very closely striated, the lower part aciculated ; the rest closely, strongly 

 reticulated. The pubescence on the head and thorax is dense and white. 



Closely allied to S. guianensis, which may be known from it by the black 

 pubescence, by the longer abdomen, with shorter petiole, and by the apex of 

 scutellum not being bilobate. 



Spilochalczs melanura, sp. n. 



Yellow, the top of the antennal scape narrowly, the upper parts and apex 

 of flagellum, a semicircular mark covering the lower half of the occiput, united 

 to the top by a narrow median line, there being a transverse line at the middle 

 ocellus, a small triangular spot on the centre of the basal slope of the pronotum, 

 a broad curved line on the base of the mesonotum, on the middle two-thirds 

 from its centre a line runs to the scutellum, at the base it is of the same width, 

 as the transverse line ; it becomes gradually wider towards the apex ; there is a 

 broad transverse line, narrowed in the middle, at the base of the scutellum ; a 

 longish conical mark in the nentre of the apical three-fourths of the scutellum, 

 the narrowed end at the base, a semicircular mark on post-scutellum, a broad 

 transverse mark in the centre of the 1st to 4th dorsal abdominal segments, 

 the centre of the 5th broadly above the whole of the 6th and the sheath of 

 ovipositor, a large, irregular ovate mark in the centre of the hind coxae, 

 nearer the base than the apex, a smaller, squarish spot in the centre of the 

 apex of the femora on both sides, the underside of the hind trochanters, and 

 the femoral teeth, black ; there are 12 teeth, the basal long, curved, thickened 

 and yellow at the base ; the 2nd smaller than the others. Female. Length, 

 6 m.m. Male, 4 m.m. 



Pubescence short, white, pro-mesonotum and scutellum umbilically 

 punctate ; the apex of scutellum with the projecting margin narrowed 

 slightly in the middle. Metanotu.ni irregularly areolated ; the areola more 

 than twice longer than wide, obliquely narrowed to ? sharp point at the base, 

 becoming narrowed towards the apex which is transverse. Abdominal petiole 

 short, as wide as long. 



Spilochalcis peronata, sp. n. 

 Rufo-testaceous, the head paler in tint, as are also, to a less extent, the 

 4 front legs, the upper side of the flagellum, the apical joints more broadly,
