Some New Mymaridae and a New 



Signiphora in the Collections of the 



Zoological Museum, Berlin. 



By A. A. Girault. 



Genus Anaphes Haliday. 



1. Anaphes comosipennis n. sp. 



Female: — Length, 0.70 mm. 



Jet black, the wings distinctly but not very 

 deeply dusky throughout. Funicle 1 subglobular, 

 less than half the length of 2 which is slightly shorter 

 than 3, the latter longest, subequal to the pedice', 

 somewhat over twice longer than wide; 4 and 5 sub- 

 equal, somewhat shorter than 2, 6 still a little shorter, 

 distinctly much longer than 1. Fore wings slender, 

 densely hispid, the discal ciliation arranged in about 

 eleven lines, the longest marginal fringes subequal 

 to the greatest width or somewhat longer, the blade 

 a little curved. Club a little longer than joints 5 and 6 

 of the funicle combined. Hind wings narrow, with 

 a paired row of discal cilia along each margin. A 

 commonplace species. 

 \ M a 1 e : — Not known. 



Described from one female. 



Habitat: German East Africa.

 shorter than 3, 2 longest, about a third longer than 

 3; 4 shortest, oval, 5 shorter than 6 which is subequal 

 to 1 but wider. Fore wings slender, the longest mar- 

 ginal cilia about two thirds the greatest wing width, 

 the discal cilia like fine, soft, moderately long hairs, 

 about fourteen lines where the blade is widest. Vena- 

 tion colorless. Petiole much longer than the hind 

 coxae. Scape compressed, simple. Proximal tarsal 

 joint slender, much the longest.

 above specimen on a slide. 



2. Polynema auricorpus n. sp. 

 Female: — Length, 1 .05 mm. 



Golden yellow, the abdomen blackish except 



petiole, the ovipositor not exserted. Scapes, pedicel, 

 funicle 1 and also 2 more or less, and the legs con- 

 colorous; rest of antennae black. Petiole of abdomen 

 a little longer than the hind coxae. Fore wing with 

 a distinct brownish rather broad cross-stripe just 

 proximad of middle, the discal cilia fine, about 16 

 lines across the widest portion, the longest marginal 

 cilia about two thirds (or less) the greatest wing width. 

 Funicle 1 about as long as the pedicel, subequal to 4, 

 2 longest, a fourth longer than 3 which is distinctly 

 longer than 1 ; scape not sculptured. Fore wings 

 moderately slender, body of moderate size. Propo- 

 deum with a narrow but distinct median carina. 

 Proximal tarsal joint much the longest. Funicle 6 

 over twice longer than wide, a little longer than I . 

 Discal cilia sparse proximad of the cross-stripe. 



Male: — Not known. 



From one female. 



Habitat: German East Africa. 



Type: In the Zoological Museum, Berlin, on 

 a slide. 



3. Polynema hyalinipenne n. sp. 

 Female: — Length, 1.00 mm. 



Black, the wings hyaline, the legs and antennae 

 concolorous except proximal three tarsal joints, knees 

 and tips of tibiae. Funicle 1 a little shorter than the 

 pedicel, distinctly longer than wide, a little longer 

 than 4 which is a little more than half the length of 2, 

 the longest; funicle 3 a third shorter than 2, subequal 

 to 6 which, however is broader. Fore wings moderate 

 in width, the longest marginal cilia somewhat over 

 two thirds the greatest width, the discal cilia fine, 

 about eighteen lines across the widest part of the 

 wing. Scape not sculptured. Ovipositor slightly ex- 

 serted. Strigils present. Eyes dark red and of mode- 

 rate size. Proximal tarsal joints slender. Funicle 3 

 is sometimes a little longer. 



Male: — Funicle joints only about two and 

 a half times longer than wide.

 a female with the types of P. orientale. 



4. Polynema pernigripes n. sp.

Colored like hyalinipenne but the fore 

 wings with a cross-stripe as in auricorpus, the 

 antennae with funicle 1 a little longer than in h y a- 

 linipenne, 2 shorter, only a fourth longer than 3. 

 The discal cilia disappear proximad of the fuscous 

 stripe and there are about 22 lines across the widest 

 part, all fine ; marginal cilia as in hyalinipenne. 

 Propodeum with a narrow, long, median carina. 



Male: — Unknown. 



From one female.
