part of the petiole strongly longitudinally striolated ; the 

 second segment inside the oblique furrows strongly longi- 

 tudinally striolated ; the base at the sides smooth ; the 

 furrows striolated ; the suturiform articulation longitu- 

 dinally striolated, broadened at the sides. The wings are 

 yellow to near the base of the first cubital cellule ; the 

 first cubital cellule is hyaline above and beneath and at 

 the base ; and there is a clearer hyaline spot below the 

 transverse cubital nervure. The stigma is broadly yellow 



at the base. 



Bracon ingratus, Sp. 110V. 



Long, fere 10 mm. 



Hab. Agra (Rothney). 



Head shining ; the tips of the mandibles black ; a 

 broad furrow leads down from the ocelli. Thorax shining, 

 impunctate ; the curved furrow on the mesopleurse wide ; 

 the median segment with a gradual slope, very smooth 

 and shining. On the metapleurse is a broad oblique 

 furrow. Legs entirely luteous, the tibiae thickly covered 

 with pale hair. Wings bright yellow to near the stigma, 

 which is luteous, black at base and apex ; the first cubital 

 cellule with a large somewhat triangular hyaline spot, and 

 there is a smaller one below the first transverse cubital 

 nervure. Petiole smooth ; the apex in the centre with a 

 few stout longitudinal keels ; the lateral furrows wide. 

 The other segments strongly rugosely punctured ; the 

 second segment with a stout keel in the centre reaching 

 near to the apex ; at the sides is a broad slightly curved 

 depression, stoutly keeled on the innerside ; the other 

 segments have a stout transverse keel at the base, which 

 become wider at the sides, and are crenulated. 



In coloration it agrees exactly with Bracon agraensis; 

 but may be at once separated from it by the strongly 

 punctured abdomen with the longitudinal keel on the 

 second segment.
