 reared Chalcklidae from Borneo. (Hym.) 



By P. Canieron, Whitle, New Mills (England). 



Philo pison gen. nov. 



Antennae short, 8-jointed? if the terminal lobe be composed 

 of 3 joints , the scape in $ slender , not much shorter than the 

 following joints united, the pedicle longer than wide, the following 

 3 joints as wide as long, the end Joint or joints swollen gradually, 

 narrowed to a point ; the scape in cf greatly swollen and com- 

 pressed, the base distinctly narrowed, the outerside of the dilated 

 part thicker than the inner ; it becomes gradually roundly widened 

 towards the apex and is distinctly longer than the succeeding 

 joints united ; the antennae are placed over the mouth. Head 

 narrow , very little developed behind , the temples obliquely nar- 

 rowed. Eyes large , parallel ; the ocelli in a curve. Pronotum 

 large , narrowed gradually from the apex to the base, the sides 

 roundly raised , the centre flat ; the mesonotum raised in the 

 centre, the base and apex obliquely sloped. Scutellum flat , the 

 sides bordered by a broad, rounded keel. Abdomen sessile, wider 

 than the thorax , flat , ovate , slightly shorter than the thorax. 

 Legs normal , the femora moderately stout ; the spurs slender, 

 short ; the tarsi slender, 5-jointed. Marginal vein a little shorter 

 than postmarginal. The large eyes do not converge above with 

 either sex. 



The exact systematic position of the type of this genus is 

 not quite clear to me, but for the present I should refer it to 

 the Pireninae. Characteristic is the large, dilated antennal scape 

 of the (f. The nature of the thoracic furrows and depressions 

 may require revision , the specimens I have examined (all bred) 

 appear not to have become quite hardened. 



It is somewhat remarkable that there should be in Borneo 

 two genera of Chalcklidae belonging to different Tribes , with the 

 antennal scape greatly enlarged in the males , this being a rare 

 character with Chalcids.

Bronzy-black, the antennal scape and l st Joint of flagellum 

 and legs pale testaceous, the femora darker coloured — darker in 

 some specimens than in others — the tarsi paler than the tibiae; 

 wings clear hyaline , the nervures pale , almost white. Smooth, 

 shining, bare. $ and <f. — Length 1 mm.
