(Chalcididae). (H ym .) 



By P. Camerou. 



Philomides flavicolllis sp. nov. c? 



Black, the inner eye orbits broadly, the lower half of 

 the outer more uarrowly, the prothorax except narrowly at 

 the base, a large mark, narrowest behind, on the sides of 

 the base of the mesonotum, the apex of the femora and the 

 tibiae and tarsi, yellow; the basai segment of the abdomen 

 testaceous. Wings hyaline, the apex along the nervures 

 testaceous ; the nervures black. çf — Length 8 mm. 



Gibraltar. J. J. Walker. R. N. 



Head, except on front dépression closely, distinctly 

 punctured and thickly covered with white pubescence; the 

 dépression deep, smooth and shiniug. Anteunae black, except 

 the pedicle; the flagellum, if anythiug, longer than the scape, 

 greatly thickened, fusiform. Malar space distinct, depressed 

 broadly in the centre. The punctuation on the thorax is 

 coarse and runs into reticulations, especially on the scutellum, 

 which is very large, nearly as long as the mesonotum ; its 

 apex is narrowed, almost trausverse, with the sides rounded ; 

 it projects largely over the median segment. Abdomen short, 

 broad, its apex rounded ; the segments smooth. Legs stout, 

 thickly covered with white hair ; the claws large, the apex 

 with two stout unequal teeth; the base with 3 smaller ones. 

 Mandibles edentate. 



The genus P/dlomicUs was described by Haliday in the 

 Ann. Soc. Ent. d. Fr. 1862, p. 115 on a species (Paphiwt) 

 from „l'île de Chypre". The latter species may be known 

 from that hère described by the flagellum of autennae, the 

 clypeus, labrum, and the mandibles at the end and the greater 

 part of the thorax being yellowish, iustead of black.
