ICHNEUMONIN^ IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM. 153 



1. TESTACECOLOR, Sp. n. 



A stout and dull, clear testaceous female with only the sternum, 

 frons and frontal orbits substramineous ; flagellum alone black, 

 white-banded ; wings flavescent. At once known in the present 

 genus by its unique coloration ; the aciculate-glabrous, and 

 laterally ]ju no tate, postpetiole ; the small, subquadrate and nearly 

 glabrous metanotal areola, with or Avithout distinct central 

 costulte ; by the pale stigma ; and by having all the simple coxje 

 curiously deplanate beneath. Length, 13-14 mm. 5 only. — 

 The alutaceous thoracic sculpture relates this species to C. ruhrt- 

 costis Hlmgr., but the head is very broad and distinctly broader 

 than thorax. — Found at Unyoro in the Budongo Forest in the 

 middle of December at 3400 feet ; and at Chagwe in the 

 Mabira Forest in the middle of July at 3500 feet, in Uganda, 

 during 1911. 



Barichneumox. 



Berthoumieu has described three species from Algeria; Bui-gst 

 has discovered that three of the paUearctic kinds extend to 'J'unis; 

 and I have brought forward (Ann. S. Afr. Mus. xv. 1916, p. 364) 

 another from the Cape. This Thomsonian genus will probably 

 be found here over at least the more temperate regions. 



1. CONCINNATOR, sp. n. 



A small and evenly ]3unctate, black male with vertical dots and 

 base of scape beneath obscurely, and all the tibiae and femora 

 clear, fulvous; wings subinfumate throughout. Head not 

 strongly constricted posteriorly ; frons and face closely, the 

 apically a little rounded clypeus very sparsely, punctate. Fla- 

 gellum short and setaceous, hardly longer than head and thorax, 

 apically pale beneath. Thorax stout, cylindrical, shining and 

 evenly punctate ; notauli indicated ; metanotal areola triangular, 

 its basal carina convex and apical concave, emitting strong 

 costuljB a little beyond its centre ; petiolar area elongate, dis- 

 creted with very strong lateral carime ; spiracles small and 

 elongate, apophyses wanting. Scutellum punctate and shining, 

 only basally carinate. Abdomen cylindrical and dull ; basal 

 segment stout, gradually explanate, with the postpetiole sub- 

 bicarinate and evenly punctate ; gasti'occeli small and superficial, 

 intervening space not striate.; ventral segments two to four 

 plicate, valvules black and notexserted. Legs neither short nor 

 slender ; all the femora and tibia? fulvous, with the front tibife 

 internally paler. Wings somewhat small, evenly brunneous 

 throughout ; stigma black ; areolet obliquely pentagonal, broad 

 above, emitting the sinuate recurrent nervure beyond its centre ; 

 lower basal postf ureal. Length, 8 mm. J only. — The sculpture 

 and disposition of the wing nervures are very like B. gemellus 

 Grav., though the whole jjuncturation is less close and more 

 distinct. — Two or three males Avere found in Abyssinia, probably 

 about Harrar, in 1910 (Collector ignot.).
