and meso-notum shining, impunctate, as is also the scutellum ; the 

 parapsidal furrows deep, extending from the base to the apex. 2 • 



Length nearly 4 mm. 



Head shagreened, opaque, the front more coarsely shagreened 

 than the rest. Malar space more than half the length of the 

 antennal scape, not furrowed. Lower part of clypeus bordered by 

 deep furrows, its apex smooth, brown. Antennae placed shortly 

 below the middle of the eyes ; the scape is shorter than the second 

 joint of the nagellum ; the latter is nearly as long as the following 

 two united. Hinder ocelli separated from each other by a distinctly 

 greater distance than they are from the eyes — by almost twice the 

 length of the antennal pedicle. Pro- and meso-pleurae opaque, 

 coarsely shagreened ; the raised upper part of the latter shining, 

 almost smooth. Base of metanotum shining, almost entirely smooth, 

 the apex with some distinct transverse striae ; the rest of the median 

 segment closely, finely, mostly longitudinally reticulated ; the 

 longitudinal striae stronger and more distinct than the transverse. 

 Abdomen, including the petiole, smooth and shining ; the petiole 

 slender, about twice the length of the upper part of the metanotum. 

 The recurrent nervure is received shortly beyond the transverse 

 cubital ; the transverse median distinctly beyond the transverse 

 basal ; there is no distinct angle in the apical part of the radius. 

 Hind tibiae and tarsi with a few pale golden spines ; the long spur of 

 the hind tibiae is two-thirds of the length of the metatarsus, which is 

 as long as the following two joints united ; the last is as long as the 

 penultimate, but not so long as the third. The antennae are longer 

 than the body ; are slender and fuscous below towards the apex. 



Comes close to E. levigena, Kieffer, which has also an unforked 

 metasternal process.

Gen. TEISSOMALUS, Kief. 

 Trissomalus teansvaalensis, Dub. 



Dr. Broom sends a Bethylid, which is certainly a Trissomalus, 

 Kieffer (Ann. de la Soc. Scient. de Bruxelles, xxix., 105), and which 

 is probably identical also with the type of that genus, namely, 

 Goniozus transvaalensis, Dubuysson." As, however, it does not 

 quite agree with the description, I give one of it here.
