Description of a New Species of Parasitic Cynipidae 



from Borneo, with a Synopsis of the Bornean Species 



of Parambhjnotus Cam. (Hym.) 



By P. Camerou, New Mills by Stockport (England). 



Paramhlynotus ruficollis sp. nov. 



Black, the head, prothorax and tegulae rufous, tlie anterior 

 legs and apical half of middle femora rufo - testaceous ; wings 

 hyaline, iridescent, the costal nervure and radius black, the other 

 nervures fuscous. Face transversely rugose ; the clypeus depressed 

 in the centre ; the parts bordering the depression finely , closely 

 striated. There is a stout, rounded keel between and above the 

 antennae. Inner eye orbits with a striated border. Malar space 

 longer than the eyes ; the cheeks distinctly margined. Prothorax 

 stoutly punctured laterally ; in the centre of the pronotum is a 

 flattened triangulär spine. Mesonotum and scutellum stoutly 

 transversely striated and with sonae finer longitudinal striae 

 between the transverse ones ; the striae on the scutellum run 

 into reticulations. Sides of metanotuni broadly margined ; in the 

 centre is a stout keel. Meso- and metapleurae smooth , below 

 thickly covered with white hair. Abdomen smooth , the petiole 

 with 2 stout central and 2 thinner outer keels, the inner of the 

 latter being curved. 



Length 6 mm. cf. 



Kuching, Borneo. (John Hewitt, B. A.) 



The antennae are nearly as long as the body ; the 3'^'^ Joint 

 is straight and shorter than the 4*^^; the last is a little longer 

 than the preceding. 



The 3 known Bornean species of Paramhlynotus may be sepa- 

 rated thus : 



1 (4) Head red ; the tibiae and tarsi black. 



2 (3) Prothorax red ; antennal scape black ; mesonotum trans- 



versely striated, length 6 mm .... ruficollis n. sp. 



3 (2) Prothorax black ; antennal scape red ; mesonotum coarsely 



rugosely punctured ; length 3 mm . . ruficeps Cam. 



4 (1) Head (and body) black, the tibiae and tarsi testaceous. 



punctulatus Cam. 

 Mr. Hewitt has sent recently the undescribed cf of P. punctu- 

 latus ; it resembles the ?, but has longer antennae ; they are 14 — 

 jointed ; the 3'''^ Joint is a little shorter than the 4*^^ and is 

 neither dilated nor incised ; the 4 anterior femora are for the 

 greater part testaceous like the tibiae and tarsi.
