RECLASSIFICATION OF M ICROG ASTERI NI 119 



Propodeum with slightly more rugosity ; areola almost closed above. Hind wing slightly 

 broader than in rhiphens. Ovipositor sheath slightly shorter ; seen from above, with its hairs 

 much more upstanding (cf. Text-fig. 99). 



Philippines : Mt. Banahao, 1 $, the TYPE, {Baker) ; Bukidnon, Tangcolan, 

 1 $, (Baker). 



Type in the U.S. National Museum. 



This is the only species of the eublemmae-s\ibgrou\) , that is known to me outside 

 the continent of Africa. 



Apanteles oroetes sp. n. 



9. Wings clear hyaline without milky tint ; stigma dark brown. 

 Propodeum very smooth, its satin-like sheen very weak. 



Tergite 1 strongly narrowed behind, its surface like that of the propodeum. Ovipositor 

 sheath about as long as the hind tibia but the ovipositor fully twice as long as its sheath. 

 Length: ca. 2 mm. without ovipositor. 



S. W. Africa : Aus, i.1930, 1 $, the TYPE, (R. E. Turner). 

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



With its very short antenna and long ovipositor, this little species is very distinct. 

 No other species in the eitblemmae-subgvoup shows a similar reduction in the strength 

 of the mesoscutal sculpture. 



Apanteles hersilia sp. n. 



This species and the next — coitus — are closely related. 



$. Head somewhat triangular from in front ; in a lateral view, the clypeus somewhat pro- 

 tuberant. Antenna thin, about as long as the body and of somewhat characteristic appearance ; 

 the flagellar segments rather abruptly diminish in length towards apex (Text-fig. 95) ; the 

 preapical segment is fully one and a half times longer than wide. 



Tergite 1 widened just where it turns over and thence narrowed to apex but not strongly so, its 

 surface quite strongly rugose. 



Length: ca. 24 mm. without ovipositor. 



S. Africa : Cape Province, Mossel Bay, iv.1921, 1 $, the TYPE, (R. E. Turner). 

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



This little species is essentially characterized by the coarseness of its mesoscutal 

 and scutellar sculpture. 



Apanteles coilus sp. n. 



$. Head not in the least subtriangular seen from in front ; in a lateral view, the clypeus not 

 protuberant as in hersilia. Antenna a little shorter, of ordinary appearance (Text-fig. 96). 

 Sculpture of tergite 1 and of propodeum finer than in hersilia. Tergite 1 hardly widened just 

 where it turns over, as in hersilia. 



S. Africa: Cape Province, Ceres, iii.1925, 2 $$, one the TYPE, iv.1925, 1 $ ; 

 Aliwal North, 4,350 ft., 1-13.1.1923, 1 $, (all R. E. Turner). 

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



There is nothing particularly distinctive about this species; its sculpture is like 

 that of the majority of the species in the eublemmae-subgvowp.
