RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROGASTERINI 37 



ovipositor sheath about three quarters as long as the hind tibia ; vannal lobe 

 distinctly concave, without projecting hairs. Philippines coedicius sp. n. (p. 46) 



73 Mesoscutum unusually coarsely rugose, the lines of the notaulices broad and very 



coarsely punctate-rugose. 



Head above with coarse shiny sculpture but the temples without clear puncta- 

 tion ; ovipositor sheath slightly shorter than the hind tibia. China 



florus sp. n. (p. 49) 



- Mesoscutum showing normal rugosity, the lines of the notaulices not as coarsely 



rugose as this, or if the sculpture appears to approach the condition found in florus, 



then the ovipositor sheath is much longer (ortia) ...... 74 



74 Ovipositor unusually thick (Text-fig. 56), straight except at apex ; median field of ter- 



gite (2 -f- 3) highly polished, hardly twice as wide as long. 



Mesoscutum almost evenly reticulate-punctate ; ovipositor sheath almost one 

 and a half times longer than the hind tibia. Solomons . . ortia sp. n. (p. 81) 



- Ovipositor never as straight as this, nor as thick ; if markedly thickened (clila), then 



more or less curved throughout ; median field of tergite (2 + 3) more transverse 



than this ............. 75 



75 Tergite 1 hardly narrowed behind (Text-fig. 42) ....... 76 



- Tergite 1 very distinctly narrowed behind. 



Median field of tergite (2 + 3) very short, with sharply angled lateral corners; 

 hind femur deeply infuscate .......... 79 



76 Hind femur bright yellow ; hind tibia almost whitish yellow with faint apical infusca- 



tion ; median and submedian cells of the fore wing very densely setose, the setae 

 obviously brown ; small sp. ca. 2-4 mm. without ovipositor. 



1st abscissa of the radius and the transverse cubitus subequal, rather thick and 

 angled at their junction. Malaya ..... psenes sp. n. (p. 80) 



- Hind femur blackish throughout ; hind tibia much darker, being infuscate at least 



on apical half ; median and submedian cells more sparsely setose, the setae on the 

 whole pale to colourless ; larger spp., ca. 2-8 mm. without ovipositor ... 77 



77 Entire hind tarsus blackened ; punctation at posterior end of notaulic course very 



strong and without obvious longitudinal elements 



Vertex behind the ocelli rather strongly rugose and with faint traces of transverse 

 aciculation ; metacarp about four times as long as its distance from the apex of 

 the radial cell. Queensland ...... oenone sp. n. (p. 69) 



- At least segments 2-4 of the hind tarsus yellow ; punctation at posterior end of 



notaulic course much finer and mixed with longitudinal elements ... 78 



78 Apical segment of the hind tarsus reddish yellow ; metacarp about five times as long 



as its distance from the apex of the radial cell ; tergite 1 almost smooth, strongly 

 shining ; ovipositor sheath distinctly longer than the hind tibia ; ovipositor very 

 thin. Malaya ........ contemptus sp. n. (p. 72) 



- Apical segment of the hind tarsus blackened ; metacarp about four times as long as 



its distance from the apex of the radial cell ; at least the horizontal surface of 

 tergite 1 quite strongly rugose ; ovipositor sheath not longer than the hind tibia ; 

 ovipositor thicker. India ....... sauros sp. n. (p. 70) 



79 Vertex behind the ocelli with extremely fine, on the whole smooth, transverse 



aciculation. 



Ovipositor considerably thickened (Text-fig. 53) ; ovipositor sheath slightly 

 longer than the hind tibia. India ..... clita sp. n. (p. 67) 



- Vertex here rugose and with at most faint traces of broken, transverse aciculation 



and then the ovipositor sheath is very distinctly longer than the hind tibia . . 80 



80 Tergite 1 highly polished, its horizontal surface strongly narrowed to apex and 



virtually without trace of sculpture.
