Braconinae. 



Chaolta plumarius, Fab. 



Under the name of ,,Br. plumarius, Fab." is a species 

 of Chaolta from Sumatra (Dahldorff), 11909, 11908 and 

 Java, 11905 (de Haan), all clearly old specimens. As the 

 species has not been described, so far as I can make 

 out, I give a description of it here. 



Antennal scape, head, thorax and 4 front legs red, 

 the hind legs and the abdomen black; the ventral sur- 

 face of the abdomen and the outer edge of the 1st seg- 

 ment narrowly above, white. Wings rufo-hyaline, the 

 base lighter coloured than the rest, the apex, from the 

 froTit of the 3rd cubital cellule in the forewings, and the 

 apex of the posterior more broadly, fuscous; the costa, 

 stigma and basal nervures fulvous; there is a small black 

 cloud at the parastigma, ,and the apex of the stigma is 

 narrowly black; the 3rd abscissa of the radius is shorter 

 than the '2nd ; the 2nd • transverse cubital nervure is 

 obli(]ue and roundly curved. Basal 4 segments of ab- 

 domen closely, not very strongl}^ striated; the area on 

 the centre of the 2nd segment is closely, finely striated, 

 extends to the base of the apical fourth and becomes 

 gradually narrowed from the base to the apex. There 

 V are oblique furrows on the sides of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th 

 ■ segments. The sheaths of the ovipositor are broad and 

 densely covered with stiff black hair. Metanotum for 

 the greater part black. Legs stout, densely haired. Facial 

 plate wider than long, obliquely narrowed towards the 



*) Mr. Cameron,. having been so kind as to determine a 

 groat part of tlie Asiatic and African species of tlie Iclmeu- 

 monidae and Braconidae of the Kgl. Zoolog. Museum in 

 Berlin, sent his M. S. to the Museum in order that it might 

 be published in the ,, Mitteilungen" of the Museum. As this 

 proved to be impossible owing to the fact that the space 

 long ago was reserved to other papers I was by the author 

 intrusted with the task to send the paper to other perio- 

 dicals and, what was necessary, as the original Manuscript 

 was a large one, to divide it in parts of a size suitable to 

 the concerned journals. This being done, the parts of the 

 originally as one paper intended publication now will appear

a,pGx, the side« raised, tln^ to|) in the centre keeled. Ç. 

 jjcngth 15 mm; terebra 16 mm. Temples and 

 sides of occiput broadly rounded, the centre of occi]mt 

 transverse. Antennal scape about 8 times longer than 

 wide, thfe apex below not mach projecting. Base of 

 nu'S(motum roundly i-aised.

The facial plate is almost as long as it is wide at the 

 base; it is narrowed towards the apex, which is trans- 

 verse; the edges are depressed, and there is no central 

 keel. Between the antennae is a horn of equal width and 

 about 4 times longer than wide. Head cubital, the 

 temples longer than the eyes, the sides behind broadly 

 roitnded. The basal 4 segments of the abdomen closely 

 longitudinally striated, the basal more strongly than the 

 others, its sides more strongly than the centre, the striae 

 on them being more clearly separated. On the centre 

 of the 2nd segment is a narrow, triangular, longish striated 

 area, which extends to the base of the apical fourth of 

 the segment; from its base a straight curved furrow runs 

 obliquely to shortly beyond the middle; the part outside 

 it is stoutly transversely striated. The furrow on the 

 sides of the 3rd segment is distinct and roundly curved. 

 The furrow at the base of the 3rd is distinct and stoutly 

 crenulated ; that on the 4th is narrower ; there are narrow, 

 but distinct furrows, no.t very strongly crenulated, on 

 the apices of the 3rd and 4th segments. Mesonotiim 

 rounded, not flat, almost trilobate. Antennal scape 

 about two and a half times longer than wide; the apex 

 below projecting into a short, sharp tooth. 



Characteristic of this species is the stout tooth bet- 

 ween the antennae. 



Chaolta pilipes, sp. nov. 



Black, antennal scape, mandibles to shortly beyond 

 the centre, palpi, thorax, except the metanotum, and 

 the 4 front legs, red; wings dull fulvous yellow, fuscous 

 along the margin from the radius to near the transverse 

 median nervure; the 2nd transverse cubital nervure, 

 oblique, roundly sinuated, costa and nervures black, 

 the stigma fulvous, black at the base and apex. Basal 

 4 segments of abdomen closely striated, the basal more 

 strongly than the others, the striae on the 3rd and 4th 

 running into reticulations; the area on base of 2nd seg- 

 ment longish triangular, not narrowed to a point, one 

 tlhrd of the length of the segment ; the 2nd and 3rd seg- 

 ments with oblique lateral depressions, the 1st wider and 

 less roundly curved than the 2nd. The depressed sides 

 of the 1st segment are finely and regtilarly striated; the 

 striae on the centre are stronger, more irregular and, 

 intertwine. Ç.

 incised. Legs stout, the pubescence long, thick and oense
