RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROGASTERINI 47 



Head from above deeper than in opacus and exactly as in cavifrons. Eyes slightly more 

 convergent below than in either opacus or cavifrons but the face shiny and smooth-looking as in 

 cavifrons. 



Tergite 1 exactly as in niceppe (cf. Text-fig. 28). 



Philippines : Luzon, Mt. Makiling, 1 <j>, the TYPE, (Baker). 



Type in U.S. National Museum. 



An aberrant but most distinct species on the characters given in the key. 



Apanteles anodaphus sp. n. 



0*$. Legs predominantly dark ; hind femur blackish ; hind basitarsus whitish yellow at 

 base. Gaster yellow at base beneath. 



$. Face shiny but coarsely and indistinctly punctate. Vertex between the ocelli and the 

 eye-margin shiny but distinctly punctate. Flagellum somewhat bristly, weakly tapered to 

 apex, decidedly long and with the preapical segment about one and a half times longer than 

 wide. 



Mesoscutum strongly shining, strongly punctate ; punctures almost confluent along the 

 course of the notaulices but more or less discrete behind and here sulfate without trace of 

 striation. Scutellum strongly shining and with traces of punctation along sides. Arcolation 

 of propodeum strong, as in opacus and close allies. Anterior half of mesopleurum very shiny, 

 coarsely, confluently punctate. Abscissa 1 of the radius about three times as long as the 

 transverse cubitus ; hind wing rather narrow. 



Tergite 1 about two and a half times longer than wide, parallel-sided, its horizontal surface 

 striate-rugose and with narrow, medial channel that, in front, narrows to a very strongly raised 

 keel. Enclosed area of tergite 2 about three times as wide apically as long ; its basal width 

 twice as long as a lateral sulcus. 



$. Like female except that enclosed area of tergite 2 is a little less transverse. 



N. Guinea : Papua, Kokodana, 1200 ft., iv.1933, 1 $, the TYPE, viii, 1 <$, ix, 

 4 <S<S> (L. E. Cheesman). 



Type in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.). 



Clearly allied to opacus and its relatives, this species is distinct on account of its 

 dark wings and shiny, heavily punctate mesoscutum. 



Apanteles cypris sp. n. 



$. Differs essentially from opacus in having tergite 1 shorter, wider and not or hardly 

 narrowed behind ; the median field of tergite (2 + 3) is, in consequence, more transverse (Text- 

 fig- 39)- 



Disc of scutellum distinctly punctate but the punctures more obvious on anterior half. 



Tergite 1 with a distinct longitudinal channel, margined along each side. Ovipositor sheath 

 about three quarters as long as the hind tibia. 



Philippines : Manila, 11 $$, one the TYPE, (R. Brown) ; Luzon, Mt. Makiling, 

 4 £$ ; Los Banos, 2 $$ ; Mt. Banahao, 1 $, (All Baker). Malaya : Singapore, 

 2 $$, (Baker). 



Type in the U.S. National Museum. 



Characterized by the shape of the first tergite and the strongly curved ovipositor 

 (cf. following species).
