80 G. E. J. NIXON 



India : Bangalore (type locality) ; Coimbatore, 12.x. 1923, 2 $$, bred from 

 Phycodes radiata on Ficus bengalensis (in B.M.N.H.) ; Samalbhat, 25.x. 1927, 1 $, 1 $, 

 bred from Phycodes sp. (V. T. Rao). 



Type in the U.S. National Museum. 



Host : Phycodes radiata Ochs. (Glyphipterygidae). 



A most distinct species on account of the structure of the vertex, propodeum and 

 first tergite. 



Apanteles cebes sp. n. 



$. Legs yellowish brown ; hind tibia showing a hardly noticeable increase in infuscation 

 towards apex. 



Eyes not convergent, wide apart on the face. Face dull, finely, closely punctate. Antenna 

 about three quarters as long as the body, thick, imperceptibly thickened apically, with the more 

 apical segments closely articulated and segments 16-17 very slightly transverse ; the flagellum 

 appears faintly greyish owing to an excessively fine, adpressed pubescence. 



Propodeum short, dull, with considerable fine rugosity ; in one specimen out of three, a 

 costula is faintly indicated. Median cell very densely setose, though the setae are more or less 

 colourless, hard to see ; metacarp fully five times as long as its distance from the apex of the 

 radial cell. Thicker spines along upper part of outer side of hind tibia rather sparse, not 

 sharply differentiated from the finer spines adjacent to them. 



Horizontal part of tergite 1 polished medially, indistinctly punctate towards sides. Ovipositor 

 sheath very slightly longer than the hind tibia, ca. 25 : 23 and, except at base, closed only with 

 short, almost adpressed hairs. 



Length: 2-5 mm. without ovipositor. 



Philippines : Baguio, Benguet, 3 $$, one the TYPE, (Baker). 

 Type in U.S. National Museum. 



A subtly distinctive species and somewhat isolated. It is largely characterized 

 by the appearance of the head combined with the thick antenna. The densely 

 setose median cell is also important for its recognition. I am inclined to think that it 

 comes closer to the leptoura-group than to the taragamae-complex. 



Apanteles psenes sp. n. 



9- Hind tarsus very pale yellow, the segments with faint apical infuscation. 



Face impunctate but with satin-like sheen. Frons, vertex and temples hardly roughened but 

 dull and with a satin-like sheen. Antenna rather thin, with segments 16-17 very slightly longer 

 than wide ; in one of the two females, the flagellum, being not at all shrunken, shows a hardly 

 perceptible apical thickening. 



Propodeum completely but rather weakly areolated. Fore wing faintly brownish ; medial 

 cell densely setose all over, the setae dark ; hind wing rather narrow. 



Tergite 1 (Text-fig. 42), coarsely rugose. Ovipositor sheath slightly longer than the hind tibia. 



Length: 2-4 mm. without ovipositor. 



Malaya : Parit Buntar, 2 $$, one the TYPE, 4 $$, 9.XU.1930, (G. H. Corbett). 

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



A distinctive little species, largely characterized by the sculpture of the head in 

 combination with the very pale legs. Not closely related to the taragamae-complex 

 of species.
