RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROGASTERI X I 39 



87 Edge of vannal lobe beyond its widest part with a more or less complete fringe of hairs. 



Face with distinct punctation ......... 88 



- Edge of vannal lobe beyond its widest part with at most a few hardly visible, slightly 



projecting hairs. 



Hind coxa in greater part infuscate ........ 89 



88 Face dull, densely and very obviously punctate ; ocelli in a high triangle, the trans- 



verse, posterior tangent to the median ocellus passing far in front of the hind pair ; 

 hind coxa blackish ; punctures densely crowded along the notaulic courses and 

 forming dull bands. China ...... dryas sp. n. (p. 85) 



- Face shiny and with only a faint punctation ; ocelli in a lower triangle, this tangent 



almost touching the posterior pair ; hind coxa yellow ; these punctures, though 

 slightly larger than elsewhere on the mesoscutum, much less crowded and not 

 forming dull bands along the notaulic courses. New Hebrides 



coretas sp. n. (p. 85) 



89 Mesopleurum in the oblique direction sufficiently hollowed out to form a discrete, 



linear sternaulus ............ 90 



- Mesopleurum in the oblique direction merely hollowed out in the manner common 



to most species. 



Head from above almost subquadrate ; posterior end of the notaulic courses 

 indicated by a zone of shiny striate-punctation ; stigma brownish-yellow. 

 Philippines ......... saravus sp. n. (p. 81) 



90 Mesoscutum shiny with a heavy, discrete punctation. 



Face smooth, shining ; vertex around the ocelli highly polished ; sternaulus 

 showing traces of rugosity towards the wing insertions . . . . .91 



- Mesoscutum much more densely punctate, duller, the punctures so crowded on 



anterior half as to render the surface, at first sight, finely rugose. 



Sternaulus much more sharply discrete and rugose more or less throughout . 93 



91 Metacarp between four and five times as long as its distance from the apex of the 



radial cell ............. 92 



- Metacarp fully six times as long as its distance from the apex of the radial cell. 



Eyes large, close together on face ; hind femur and hind tibia reddish yellow ; 

 hind tibia faintly infuscate at apex. Borneo .... usipetes sp. n. (p. 81) 



92 Punctures of mesoscutum unusually large for the size of the insect, hardly more 



crowded at posterior end of notaulic courses and here tending to fade out ; eyes 

 markedly convergent. 



Hairs of the ovipositor sheath standing out almost at right angles. New 

 Hebrides ......... stenotelas sp. n. (p. 82) 



- Punctures of mesoscutum smaller and closer but the general surface much as in 



stenotelas, very shiny with the punctures tending to fade out posteriorly ; eyes con- 

 siderably less convergent. 



Ocelli in a slightly lower triangle, the posterior tangent to the anterior ocellus 

 almost touching the posterior pair. New Hebrides . . pisenor sp. n. (p. 82) 



93 Antenna as long as the body ; face shining, impunctate ; hind coxa yellowish on 



apical half. Philippines ...... elagabalus sp. n. (p. 84) 



- Antenna shorter than the body, face finely punctate ; hind coxa infuscate through- 



out. 



Apical segments of antenna closely articulated, the flagellum decidedly thick . 94 



94 Stigma broad (Text-fig. 63) ; eyes normal ; face paler around the antennal 



insertions. W. Indies. Africa. Malaya . . piceoventris Muesebeck (p. 82) 



- Stigma normal ; eyes considerably narrowed (Text-fig. 60) ; face evenly darkened. 



British Isles ........ trachelitis sp. n. (p. 84) 



95 Propodeum with complete areolation, the costula strongly developed ; vannal lobe 



beyond its widest part with complete, though extremely short fringe (Text-fig. 19).
