78 Cameron, Hymenoptera Orientalia. 



securiform depression striated, curved at the sides; 

 the other furrows smooth; the hypopygium cultriform; 

 the apex sharp, elongate. 



Bracon JEJUNUS, Sp. nov. 



Long. 1 2 ; terebra 5 mm. 



Comes near to B. seditiosus, but may be known from it 

 by its much shorter ovipositor; by the much more roughly 

 striated second abdominal segment ; by the third segment 

 being punctured ; by the centre of the petiole being much 

 more strongly punctured and the lateral depressions 

 deeper. 



Antennae black. Head luteous ; the vertex obscurely 

 punctured ; the front smooth ; its furrows not much 

 widened at the base ; the face rugose ; the tips of the 

 mandibles black ; the palpi covered with white hair. 

 Thorax smooth and shining. The raised central part of 

 the petiole strongly irregularly longitudinally striolated ; 

 the lateral depressions smooth ; at their base, before the 

 basal central depression, are four oblique keels. The second 

 segment is coarsely longitudinally striated ; the triangular 

 basal area is covered with large, irregular foveae ; the sides 

 at the base are depressed, the depression with curved 

 keels ; the securiform depression is wide, deep and strio- 

 lated ; the other depressions are also deep and less strongly 

 striated ; the apical depressions are narrow, distinct and 

 obscurely striated. The femora are sparsely covered with 

 pale, longish, the tibiae, and tarsi thickly with shorter, 

 fulvous hair ; the apices of the tarsi black. The apical 

 third of the stigma is black ; at its base is a black cloud 

 which extends slightly beyond the cubital nervure; on the 

 lower side of the first cubital cellule is a faint hyaline 

 cloud, which extends into the discoidal cellule.
