RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROG ASTERINI 49 



Face somewhat wide, very distinctly punctate, especially towards the antennal sockets. Eyes 

 hardly convergent. Occiput and temples quite strongly rugose though the sculpture almost 

 fades out between the posterior ocellus and the eye-margin. Antenna as long as the body. 



Mesoscutum on each side of the middle line, strongly shining between its rather large, sharp 

 punctures ; a large area at the posterior end of the notaulic course striate-punctate. Disc of 

 scutellum highly shining and with traces of large, but very ill defined punctures that towards 

 sides become mixed with longitudinal rugosity. Sculpture of mesopleurum consisting of 

 punctation rather than simple rugosity. Costula of propodeum usually broken and ill defined. 

 Metacarp a little shorter in proportion to its distance from the apex of the radial cell than in 

 diodes. 



Tergite 1 and (2 + 3) (Text-fig. 74) ; horizontal part of tergite 1 with fairly distinct, polished, 

 medial trough. 



Siam. Burma. China. 



Type in British Museum (Nat. Hist.). 



The series from China has the hind wing very slightly less wide than the two 

 series from Siam and Burma and the ovipositor slightly shorter. In spite of these 

 differences I think that only one species is present. 



A. salutifer is largely characterized by the colour of its hind femora, combined 

 with the shape of tergite 1 and the long ovipositor. 



Apanteles dores sp. n. 



$. Related to both diodes and salutifer and in many respects intermediate between those two 

 species. 



Hind tibia, like the hind femur, reddish yellow, but tipped with infuscation ; slightly more 

 than basal half of hind tarsus 1, reddish yellow. Scape reddish yellow except for darkened 

 apical rim. 



Head above more rugose than in salutifer and much more rugose than in diodes. Width of 

 face and its punctation as in salutifer. 



Surface of mesoscutum dull by comparison with that of diodes and salutifer ; punctation 

 similar to that of salutifer with dull interspaces. Disc of scutellum with stronger punctation 

 than in salutifer and more conically narrowed behind. Mesopleurum coarsely rugose with 

 punctures clearly in evidence only at extreme posterior limit of sculptured zone. Propodeum 

 distinctly longer than in diodes, hardly longer than in salutifer ; costula weak but distinct ; 

 three posterior areas highly polished. Metacarp very long, fully six times as long as its distance 

 from the apex of the radial cell. 



Tergite 1 with large, smooth areas and polished medial trough. Median field of tergite 

 (2 -\- 3) as in diodes. 



Borneo : Sandakan, 1 $, the TYPE, (Baker). 

 Type in U.S. National Museum. 



This species is largely characterized by the dullness of the mesoscutal sculpture. 



Apanteles floras sp. n. 



$. Hind femur yellowish brown ; hind tibia still paler with faint apical infuscation. 



Frons and vertex with coarse, glistening rugosity ; sculpture of temples finer but without 

 trace of punctation. Face strongly shining, smooth. Eyes not at all convergent. Antenna as 

 long as the body ; more apical segments rather loosely articulated, the preapical segment fully 

 one and a half times longer than wide ; flagellum somewhat bristly.
