310 JAMES WATERSTON — OOENCYRTUS PACIFICUS, ETC. 



all over numerous short bristles from the second sternite onwards, and there are two 

 patches besides, on sternite 5 ; on the same sternite the four posterior bristles (2, 2) 

 are stouter and longer. Ovipositor with the articulated portion of the sheath short 

 and broad, about one-fifth of the base ; the apex of the sting finely and very shortly 

 serrate. 



Length, •? mm. ; alar expanse, about 2 mm. 



(J. — Similar to the 5 ; the metallic green on the genae more pronounced. Antennae 

 with scape blackish brown, and the remainder fuscous ; paler towards the tip, but 

 with no such contrast between club and funicle as in the P. Hind femora infuscated. 



Head. — The eyes are wider apart on the vertex, and the lateral ocellus separated 

 by at least its own diameter from the edge of the eye. Antennae : length, "7 mm. ; 

 the joints are the same as in the ?, but the segmentation of the el^b is obliterated. 

 Scape rather broader than in the ? (3 : 1). Pedicel short and broad (5:3); funicle 

 cylindrical, joints in the ratio, 11 : 12 : 14 : 16 : 15 : 15. The club (in the same 

 proportion, 60) is one-half broader than the last funicular joint. The funicular 

 joints bear tubular hairs, of which the longest do not exceed the joint on which they 

 stand ; these hairs run as far as the middle of the club, those on the distal half being 

 shorter. The sensoria of the funicle are as in the 5, but there are only one or two 

 in all on the club. 



Legs. — -The first mid tarsal joint is shorter, with fewer heavy spines on this and the 

 succeeding joints (4-5 less in the case of joint 1) ; there is only one such spine also 

 at the apex of the tibia, before the spur. 



Length, "7 mm. ; alar expanse, about 2 mm.
