RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROGASTERINI 97 



Apanteles galatea sp. n. 



$. A small, very dark-legged species largely characterized by an ovipositor sheath that is 

 about one and half times longer than the hind tibia and an ovipositor that is thin and dovvncurved 

 at apex. 



Face polished, smooth. Frons above and vertex between the posterior ocellus and the eye- 

 margin polished and smooth. Antenna fully as long as the body with the preapical segment fully 

 one and a quarter times longer than wide. 



Disc of scutellum somewhat flattened, polished but with a trace of punctation around sides. 

 Propodeum with its areolation much reduced ; no costula or keel behind the spiracle. 



Tergite 1 strongly narrowed behind. Hairs of tergites 4-6 at least on dorsal surface reduced 

 more or less to a single row. 



Length: 2 mm., without ovipositor. 



Philippines : Mindanao, Dapitan, 1 $, the TYPE, (Baker). 

 Type in the U.S. National Museum. 



Apanteles solox sp. n. 



$. A species essentially characterized by the long, hind tarsus (Text-fig. 88). Although it is 

 coupled with ariovistus in the key, solox is actually more closely related to dolus and allied species. 



Hind femur infuscate throughout and the hind tibia pale only at extreme base ; hind tarsus 

 more or less evenly infuscate throughout. 



Face shiny and virtually impunctate (cf. rugiceps and dolus). Vertex between the posterior 

 ocellus and the eye-margin faintly dull and with a trace of obsolescent rugose-punctation. 

 Antenna about as long as the body with preapical segment about one and a quarter times longer 

 than wide. 



General surface of mesoscutum very shiny ; punctation, especially along the middle lobe, 

 somewhat superficial. Disc of scutellum highly polished. Areolation of propodeum greatly 

 reduced ; neither costula nor keel behind the spiracle present. Outer side of the hind tibia 

 particularly strongly spinose, the thicker spines much more numerous and more erect than in 

 dotus. Metacarp not extending quite so close to the apex of the radial cell as in dolus. 



Tergite 1 much as in dolus and rugiceps. Hairs of tergites 4-5 tending to be reduced to a 

 single row at least on the dorsal surface of the tergites. Ovipositor very thin. 



Length: 25 mm. without ovipositor. 



Malaya : Singapore, 1 $, the TYPE, (Baker). 

 Type in the U.S. National Museum. 



This species differs from rugiceps, dotus and cocotis in having a longer ovipositor. 

 There are numerous other differences. 



Apanteles ariovistus sp. n. 



$. This species lacks the typical facies of the majority of the species of the faragamae-complex 

 and is largely characterized by the possession of a somewhat large head. 



Hind femur infuscate throughout ; hind tibia becoming obscurely paler on about apical third. 

 Wings very faintly brownish. 



Face shining and virtually impuncate. Vertex between posterior ocellus and eye-margin 

 almost polished. 



Mesoscutum very shiny, the punctation along the middle line of each lobe tending to fade out. 

 Suture between mesoscutum and disc of scutellum shallow, foveate rather than costate. Disc of 

 scutellum highly polished. Areolation of propodeum much reduced ; no differentiated costula 

 present. Hind wing rather narrow.
