56 ME. W. E. KTEBT ON THE CHALCIDIN^. 



5. Anacrtptus. (Plate III. figs. 8-9). 



Type Epitranus impulsator, "Walk. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. (3) i. 

 p. 348 (1862), from Makassar. 



Antennae inserted near the mouth, 13-jointed, rather short and 

 of moderate thickness, slightly attenuated beyond the scape, and 

 clothed with very fine down ; scape about half as long as the 

 flagellum ; joints 2 and 3 small, joints 4-12 of about equal length, 

 each as long as joints 2 and 3 together, joint 13 very small, 

 conical ; head excavated as far back as the ocelli, and hinder edge 

 of the scutellum also strongly concave ; scutellum unarmed ; 

 abdomen petiolated, petiole moderately stout, fully as long as the 

 abdomen ; hind coxae very large, nearly as long as the petiole ; 

 hind femora comparatively narrow, and strongly punctured, ser- 

 rated beneath, and with a large tooth near the base ; hind tibiae 

 with a large obtuse tooth near the base on the outside. 



This genus must be closely allied to Chalcitella, Westw., but 

 may be distinguished by the peculiar structure of the hind tibise. 



6. Aeeetoceka. (Plate III. figs. 10-11.) 



Type Epitranus alhipennis, Walk. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1874, 

 p. 400, from Hiogo, Japan. 



General structure of Epitranus ; head narrower ; antennae 13- 

 jointed, inserted near the mouth ; scape about two fifths of the 

 total length ; flagellum short and rather thick, slightly pilose, 

 second joint rather long, third very short, the next nine of about 

 equal length, apical joint small, conical ; hind femora armed with 

 many very minute teeth. 



The single specimen is carded in such a manner as to render a 

 proper examination of the antennae very difficult. 



7. Thatjaiapfs. (Plate III. figs. 12-14.) 



To include Smicra masus, "Walk. Ent. i. p. 134 (1841) ; S. decora, 

 Walk. Notes Chalc. iii. p. 54 (1871); and one new species. 

 S. decora may be regarded as the type. 



Antennae 12-jointed, inserted low on the face; scape one sixth 

 of the total length, second joint bare, the rest very pilose and of 

 nearly equal thickness throughout, the last three very short, the 

 last subtruncate ; scutellum bidentate ; metathorax with two 

 large teeth on each side ; petiole half the length of the abdomen, 

 which is subglobose ; hind coxa? stout, much longer than the
