(Forest Insects, Bureau of Entomology, Washington, D. C.) 



The following pages contain descriptions of four species of Bracon- 

 idae received from Mr. S. LEEFMANS. The types of all these are in the 

 United States National Museum. 



Apantcles papilionis (VIERECK). 



Apatiteles (ProtapanteLes) papilionis VIERECK, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 

 vol. 42, 1912, p. 145. 



Six specimens of this species, which was originally described from 

 Mysore, India, were received from Mr. S. LEEFMANS with his letter dated 

 November 27, 1919 and said to have been reared from larvae of Papilio 

 sarpedon LINNAEUS at Buitenzorg, Java. 



Apantelcs homonac, new species. 



Probably closest to Apanteles taragamae Viereck but may be separated from that 

 species by the areolation of the propodeum and shape of the second tergite. 



Female.— Length, 2.5 mm.; length of ovipositor 1 mm. Head subopaque, finely 

 reticulato-punctate; postocellar line slightly shorter than the ocellocular line; antennae 

 18 jointed, the joints beyond twelfth shortened; scutum opaque, closely punctured, the 

 punctures tending to become confluent anteriorly; mesepisternum with distinct rather 

 close punctures; scutellum polished, the basal furrow and the dorsal lateral furrows 

 finely foveolate; lateral faces of scutellum polished; propodeum shining, areola and 

 petiolar area confluent forming a large shining area which is broader where the trans- 

 verse carinae join it, all carinae strong; first tergal plate rectangular in outline, strongly 

 convex medially where it is aciculato-granular, laterally it is aciculate, apically these 

 aciculations curve towards the middle where they join a shining tubercule; second 

 tergite as long as first, twice as wide as long, basally and laterally with an oblique 

 impressed line; tergites beyond first smooth and shining; ovipositor as long as abdomen, 

 straight below, convex above, sharply pointed apically, curved slightly downward at 

 tip. Black; anterior legs beyond middle of femora, intermediate tibiae and tarsi, basal 

 two-thirds of posterior tibiae, all of hind tarsi, reddish-yellow; tibial spurs white; wings 

 hyaline, venation yellowish-brown with stigma paler.
