98 G. E. J. NIXON 



Tergite i strongly rugose. Ovipositor sheath about one and one third times longer than the 

 hind tibia. 



Length: ca. 3 mm. without ovipositor. 



Sumatra : Fort de Kock, 920m., 1924, 1 $, the TYPE, (Jacobson). 

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



The essential characters of this species are the thick antenna and the large head. 

 The appearance of the meso-scutellar furrow is also rather characteristic but its value 

 could be better appreciated if more specimens were available. 



Apanteles prosymna sp. n. 



5. A small dark-legged species essentially characterized by the abrupt apical narrowing of 

 tergite 1 with its horizontal surface, in consequence, being wider than long. 



Hind legs obscure reddish brown with the hind tibia becoming paler on basal half. Stigma 

 evenly brown. 



Frons above, temples, and vertex, dull, rugulose. Face dull, faintly rugose. Antenna 

 slightly shorter than the body, with the preapical segment about one and a third times longer 

 than wide. 



Mesoscutum shiny but with a satin-like sheen ; its punctation fine ; posterior end of notaulic 

 course with a large zone of striate-punctation. Disc of scutellum polished and without sculpture. 



Tergite 1 and median field of tergite (2 + 3), (Text-fig. 87). 



Length: ca. 2 mm. 



Malaya : Kuala Lumpur, 15.V.1939, 15 $$, one the TYPE, 1 $, bred from 

 Lycaenesthes emolus. 



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



Host : Lycaenesthes emolus Godart (Lycaenidae). 



Apanteles javensis Rohwer 



Apanteles javensis Rohwer, 1918 : 567. 



Apanteles javensis Rohwer ; Wilkinson, 1928a : 113. 



9. This species is closely related to prosymna and the main differences have been given in the 

 key. There is little to add. 



Tergite 1 is considerably narrower and its horizontal surface, in consequence, is less transverse 

 (Text-fig. 89). The basal part of the hypopygium (hard to see!) shows fine, transverse aciculation. 



Java : Buitenzorg (type locality). Siam. Ceylon. 

 Type in the U.S. National Museum. 



Host : Parnara conjuncta Herrich-Schaffer, Parnara mathias F. (Hesperiidae). 



A series from Ceylon and another from Siam (Bangkok) differ from the two para- 

 types in the British Museum and the females referred to by Wilkinson in a number of 

 small details that I am unable to evaluate on the total material available. In these 

 two series, the females have the ocelli slightly further apart, the sculpture of the 

 mesoscutum reduced so that the surface is strongly shining and almost smooth and 

 the hind wing slightly narrower. These differences, however, may be correlated 

 with a reduction in size, the females being about 1-8 mm. while the paratypes are 

 about 2-2 mm.
