ICHXEUMONID GE.VERA LABIUM AND PCECILOCUYPTUS. 1 1 



between the notauli. 8catellum and postscutellum smootli, 

 almost impunctate ; niesopleurse rather coarsely and not very 

 sparsely punctured on the anterior two-thirds, smoother pos- 

 teriorly ; vertical gi-oove between the episternite and epimeron 

 crenulate on uppei' half, smooth ventrally. Basal area of median 

 segment bi-oad and ver-y short, the carina separating it from tlie 

 areola only indicated laterally, surface smooth ; areola veiy 

 broad, not distinctly separated from the petiolar area, smootli, 

 with indications of transvei'se rugae posteriorly and with a few 

 scattered punctures; external area smooth, with a few indistinct 

 punctures ; dentiparal area coarsely, but rather sparsely, punc- 

 tured ; spiracular area and juxta-coxal area with numei'ous 

 punctures, not quite as coarse as those on the dentiparal area; 

 arepe bounding the petiolar area rugose next to the bounding 

 carinse. Petiole apically very broad, a little raised medially on 

 the basal half ; all the tergites shining, with numerous minute 

 piliferous punctures ; second tergite fully t^v'ice as broad as long, 

 third tergite fully three times as broad as long. Areolet long, 

 second abscissa of the radius longer than the second transverse 

 cubital nervure; distance between the second recurrent and second 

 transverse cubital nervure equal to less than half the length of 

 the latter nervure.

This is very distinct in the pilosity of the whole insect, the 

 robust and broad abdomen, and the black and rather short 

 antennpe. 



Labium subpilosulum, sp. n. 



$ . Fulvo-feri'uginea ; antennis omnino, mandibulisque apice 

 nigris ; capite, propleuris sixpra, tegulis, mesopleuris macula 

 magna sub alis a.nticis, scutello, postscutello, coxisque anticis 

 intermediisque flavis; tibiis posticis apice tarsisque posticis articulo 

 apicali inf uscatis ; alis hyalinis, iridescentibus, venis fuscis. 



Long. 7 mm. 



2 . Mandibles simple ; clypeus and face fused, without a 

 dividing-line, sparsely punctured, with fine hairs springing fi'oni 

 the punctures. Antennte 37-jointed, third joint distinctly sliorter 

 than the fourth and fifth combined, the joints becoming trans- 

 verse about the twelfth. The emargination of the eyes is almost 

 obsolete ; front and vertex smooth and shining. Mesonotum 

 shining, with a few sparse and very small punctures, the median 

 lobe rather more closely punctiu^ed, not prominent; notauli short 

 and shallow. Mesopleurse anteriorly sparsely punctui-ed on the 

 upper half, closel}'^ punctured rugulose on the lower half, smooth 

 posteriorly ; the epimeral sulcus crenulated on the upper half 

 only. Median segment with the apical carina of the basal 

 area broadly interrupted in the middle ; areola and petiolar area 

 finely rugulose, not distinctly divided ; external ai-ea smooth and 

 shining; dentiparal area^ rugulose, without spines; spiracular
