RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROGASTERINI 179 



radial cell ; abscissa 1 of the radius slightly longer than the transverse cubitus, the two veins 

 distinctly angled ta their junction. 



Median field of tergite (2 + 3) longer than in any other species, except inops, included in the 

 mycetopliilits-group, highly polished (Text-fig. 189) ; rest of tergite (2 + 3) highly polished and 

 with only sparse hairs across its apical part. Ovipositor sheath about one and one third times 

 longer than the hind tibia, markedly falcate. 



Length: ca. 3-2 mm. without ovipositor. 



Philippines : Luzon, Mt. Makiling, 1 $, the TYPE, (Baker). 

 Type in the U.S. National Museum. 



Apanteles inops sp. n. 



$. Remarkably like odites and in spite of the differences already mentioned in the key, inops 

 may be only a small specimen of that species. Nevertheless, in view of the existence of these 

 differences, I prefer to give the single female specific rank until further specimens and closer 

 investigation enable a sounder conclusion to be drawn. 



The thin antenna is as bristly as in odites ; segment 17 is fully one and a half times longer than 

 wide.

 Type in the U.S. National Museum. 



Apanteles phaenna sp. n. 



$. A very dark species with the hind femur, especially on inner side, distinctly paler than the 

 evenly dark brown hind tibia. Wings markedly smoky. 



Head rather deep from back to front (Text-fig. 186). Face convex, virtually impunctate in 

 type ; a distinct trace of punctation in the second female. Top of head smooth, with satin-like 

 sheen. Posterior ocellus separated from the eye-margin by a distance equal to fully twice the 

 longer diameter of the ocellus. Antenna thick and of powerful build, slightly longer than the 

 body with the two preapical segments about one and a quarter times longer than wide ; the 

 apical segment, and to a less extent segment 17, are paler than the rest of the antenna. 



Mesoscutum faintly dull, its sculpture very fine and not resolvable. Propodeum with traces of 

 weak rugosity. Claws large, well developed ; inner spur of the hind tibia not much longer than 

 the outer one and hardly reaching the middle of the basal segment of the tarsus. 



Tergite 1 very strongly narrowed behind and with a polished, completely differentiated tip 

 (Text-fig. 188). Ovipositor sheath nearly one and a quarter times longer than the hind tibia, its 

 hairs somewhat upstanding. 



Length: ca. 2-4 mm. without ovipositor. 



Philippines : Mdr. Or., Hong, Mt. Halcon, 4,500 ft., ii.v.1954, 2 $£, one the 

 TYPE, (M. & D. Townes). 

 Type in Coll. Townes. 



Apanteles pycnos sp. n. 



This is a very distinctive species with strongly infumated, densely setose wings. 

 Its relationship with phaenna may be less close than the superficial resemblance 

 suggests. The form of tergites 1 and (2 + 3) is more like that of mycetophilus ; in 

 phaenna, on the other hand, these two tergites bear a closer similarity to those of such 

 species as calycinae and iriarte.
