RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROGASTERINI 117 



S. Africa : Pondoland, Port St. John, 12-30.vi.1933, 1 $, the TYPE, (R. E. 

 Turner). 



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



Apanteles olorus sp. n. 



$. Metacarp about four times as long as its distance from the apex of the radial cell. Hind 

 tibia and hind tarsus slightly thicker than in oscus with fewer thickened spines on the outer side 

 of the hind tibia. Tergite 1 slightly more narrowed apically than in oscus. Hypopygium (Text- 

 fig. 92). 



S. Africa : Pondoland, Port St. John, x.1923, 1 $, the TYPE, (R. E. Turner). 

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



The difference between this species and oscus are decidedly tenuous and further 

 specimens may show that they are not valid for specific differentiation. 



Apanteles rhipheus sp. n. 



$. This species differs from both oscus and olorus in having a much thicker ovipositor. It is 

 closely related to eublemmae with which it may be compared as follows: — 



Stigma less pallid ; venation proximal to the a reolet clearly pigmented. Hind wing narrower. 

 Tergite 1 more narrowed behind. Ovipositor longer (Text-fig. 99). 



S. Africa : Cape Province, Mossel Bay, 18-30. xi.1921, 1 $, the TYPE, 5-31. vii. 

 1921, 1 $, xii.1921, 1 $, (R. E. Turner). 

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



Apanteles paralus sp. n. 



$. In colour, the wings of this species are indistinguishable from those of eublemmae but the 

 metacarp is slightly longer in relation to its distance from the apex of the radial cell. 



Antenna as long as the body, that is, markedly longer than in both rhipheus and eublemmae. 

 Disc of scutellum more narrowed behind than in eublemmae, slightly convex and sculptured 

 weakly almost all over ; towards sides the sculpture becomes longitudinal. 



Tergite 1 markedly rugose compared with eublemmae. Ovipositor sheath longer than in 

 eublemmae and the ovipositor considerably thicker. 



S. Africa : Cape Province, Ceres, 2-21.iii.1921, 1 $, the TYPE, (R. E. Turner). 

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



The relationship between this species and eublemmae-rhipheus is very close and the 

 species are in need of further study. 



Apanteles upis sp. n. 



$. Here is a species closely related to both eublemmae and rhipheus but differing from both in 

 having the metacarp about twice as long as its distance from the apex of the radial cell. It is 

 more like rhipheus than eublemmae, differing from it only in a few details: —
