below the antennae. Mesonotum trilobate , smooth , except the 

 furrows which are striated and the space at the end of the 

 middle lobe which is sparsely, irregularly reticulated. Scutellum 

 large , smooth ; rounded at the base , its basal depression large, 

 transverse at the base , the lateral keels reaching beyond the 

 base of scutellum ; in its centre are 4 keels. Postscutellum de- 

 pressed, opaque , coarsely shagreened. The long metanotum has 

 a furrow at the base ; in the centre of the metanotum is a single 

 keel reaching close to the middle ; it then bifurcates , forming 

 an area , which becomes gradually widened to its centre , the 

 apical part being of equal width ; the apical slope is irregularly 

 transversely striated. Propleurae finely longitudinally striated ; 

 the extreme top and a hollowed space in the centre of the basal 

 two-thirds , its apex narrowed to a blunt point , smooth ; below 

 this longitudinally striated part is a longitudinal keel , wider 

 which the part is closely obliquely striated , except at the apex. 

 Mesopleurae smooth , the base and apex striated ; below is a 

 smooth furrow bordering the sternum. Petiole not quite so long 

 as the thorax, dilated at the apex, opaque, closely, finely rugose, 

 the sides obliquely striated ; it is sparsely covered with sparse, 

 erect hairs ; the 2 nd segment is shorter than the petiole , but 

 longer than the following segments united ; it becomes gradually 

 widened towards the apex and is opaque. Legs covered with 

 white erect hairs, the spurs are very short. The recurrent nervure 

 is interstitial. 



Stenophasmus Smith is treated by Szepligeti as a mere 

 synonym of Spaihius, cf. Gen. Ins., Braconidae, p. 52. 



Dis ophry s albopilosellus sp. nov. 

 Rufo - testaceous , the basal 2 segments of abdomen darker 

 coloured , the apical blackish , the flagellum of antennae black ; 

 the wings hyaline, slightly tinged with fuscous, the basal nerves 

 of wings luteous ; the costa , stigma , radius and cubitus black ; 

 the areolet in front half the width of the posterior part ; where 

 the transverse cubital nervures are bullated at their junction 

 with the cubitus. Face and clypeus punctured , the front and 

 vertex smooth ; a keel runs obliquely from between the ocelli 

 to the eyes ; there is a shallow elongated fovea on the centre 

 of the lower part of the front. Mesonotum closely punctured, 

 except on the sides of the lobes ; the middle lobe with a shallow 

 depression on the basal slope. Scutellum more strongly punctured 

 than the mesonotum. Metanotum with a longish, straight, oblique 

 slope ; the areola is obliquely narrowed at the base , transverse 

 at the apex ; it is transversely striated ; on either side of it is
