RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROGASTERINI 81 



Apanteles ortia sp. n. 



$. Hind tibia yellowish brown, becoming a little paler towards base. 



Eyes not convergent. Face smooth, shining. Upper part of frons and vertex dull and rather 

 strongly rugose. Scape yellowish ; antenna almost as long as the body with segment 17 about 

 one and a half times longer than wide. 



Mesoscutum with decidedly coarse rugose-punctation. Disc of scutellum polished. Pro- 

 podeum having a densely rugose appearance ; areola weakly defined and costula also very weak. 

 Seen from the side, the thorax is somewhat flattened dorso-ventrally and is elongate by compari- 

 son with salutifer and florus. 



Tergite 1 narrow, distinctly a little narrowed behind. 



Length: ca. 3 mm. without ovipositor. 



Solomon Is : Ugi I., 6.V.1934, 11 $, one the TYPE, 1 <$, (R. A. Lever). 

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



This is a gregarious parasite, making thin, papery cocoons, loosely heaped together. 

 It is characterized by the polished, weakly transverse median field of tergite (2 + 3) 

 and the long, thick ovipositor. Seems to be fairly closely related to salutifer and 

 florus but is distinct from these species, inter alia, on the shape of the basal tergites of 

 the gaster. 



Apanteles saravus sp. n. 



$. Legs obscure brownish throughout. Wings faintly brownish ; stigma pale brownish 

 yellow with a faintly darker border ; venation similarly coloured. 



Face smooth, shining, impunctate. 



Notaulic course behind showing striate-punctation. Areolation of propodeum on the whole 

 sharply defined ; keels bounding the areola particularly sharp. Median cell densely setose all 

 over; metacarp fully six times as long as its distance from the apex of the radial cell. Inner 

 spur of the hind tibia hardly longer than the outer one. 



Ovipositor sheath about as long as the hind tibia, its hairs long, upstanding (Text-fig. 57). 



Length: ca. 2-33 mm. without ovipositor. 



Philippines : Imugin, N. Viscaya, 5 $$, one the TYPE ; Luzon, Mt. Makiling, 

 1 $, (all Baker). 

 Type in the U.S. National Museum. 



This species appears to belong to a small complex, not perhaps very closely knit, 

 occurring in the Indo-Australian region and essentially characterized by certain 

 details of wing structure. The wings are markedly brownish and have their setae 

 brown and easy to see ; the median cell is densely setose all over ; the hind wing is 

 narrow, with the cubitellan cell somewhat elongate (Text-fig. 15). 



The sparseness of noticeably thicker spines along the upper surface of the hind 

 tibia is a useful aid to the recognition of saravus. 



Apanteles usipetes sp. n. 



$. Like saravus, this species has the ocelli in a low triangle with the transverse tangent to the 

 anterior ocellus virtually touching the posterior pair. Differs from saravus as follows : — 

 Legs paler with the hind femur dingy yellow. 

 Eyes larger and closer together on the face. Antenna very slightly thickened apically with the
