Eupteromalus genalis sp. n. 



(Text-figs. 618, 619) 



$. Head and thorax bronze-green, in places with a bluish tinge, especially on the pleuron, 

 head, and propodeum ; gaster bronze with slight greenish reflections. Mandibles, scape, 

 pedicellus and anelli testaceous ; rest of antennae brown. Coxae concolorous with the thorax, 

 fore coxae sometimes partly testaceous ; rest of legs testaceous, tips of tarsi brownish. Wings 

 hyaline, veins pale testaceous. Length 1-8-2-3 mm. 



Head of characteristic shape (see Text-figs. 618, 619 and explanation in key to females). 

 Antennal scrobes moderately deeply excavated. POL i -25-1 3 OOL. Eyes elongate, separated 

 by 1-3-1-45 times their length. Malar space 0-44-0-54 the length of an eye. Both mandibles 

 with 4 teeth (only one female examined). Head finely reticulate ; clypeus radiately strigose, 

 the striae extending some distance up the genae and face. Lower edge of antennal toruli 

 distinctly above the ventral edge of the eyes ; scape somewhat shorter than an eye, reaching 

 about to the lower edge of the median ocellus ; combined length of pedicellus and flagellum very 

 distinctly less than breadth of head ; pedicellus about twice as long as broad, much longer than 

 the first funicular segment ; funicle virtually cylindrical, slightly stouter than the pedicellus, 

 all its segments very slightly transverse, or the first segment quadrate ; clava about twice as 

 long as broad, its length slightly less than that of the three preceding funicular segments 

 together. Sensilla fairly numerous, in one row on each segment. The antenna is very similar 

 to that of submarginatus (cf. Text-fig. 632). 



Thorax somewhat flattened, slightly broader than high, in dorsal view 1-5-1-6 times as long as 

 broad. Pronotal collar sometimes irregularly margined almost throughout, sometimes hardly 

 at all, mainly reticulate, with a smoother strip along the hind margin. Mesoscutum about twice 

 as broad as long, finely reticulate, slightly more coarsely in the middle posteriorly. Scutellum 

 as long as the mesoscutum, slightly broader than long, only slightly convex, finely reticulate. 

 Propodeum about, or slightly more than, three quarters as long as the scutellum ; median area 

 1-3-1-4 times as broad as long, strongly, moderately finely reticulate ; median carina distinct, 

 extending a little way on to the nucha ; plicae very sharp and strongly bisinuate ; nucha 

 occupying slightly more than one third the total length ; callus moderately thickly pilose. 

 Lower part of mesepisternum, and mesepimeron, moderately finely reticulate ; upper sub- 

 triangular part of mesepisternum mainly alutaceous ; metapleuron rather more coarsely reticu- 

 late. Fore wing with marginal vein 1-5-1-7 times as long as the stigmal vein ; postmarginal 

 vein variable, from distinctly shorter to slightly longer, than the marginal. 



Gaster ovate, nearly or just as long as the thorax, 1-3-1-45 times as long as broad ; basal 

 tergite occupying slightly less than half the total length ; the first four tergites smooth, bare 

 except at the sides. 



<J. Differs from 9 in having the antennae wholly testaceous ; flagellum subclavate ; funicle 

 proximally not stouter than the pedicellus ; proximal segments of funicle subquadrate, the 

 first a little shorter than the second ; distal segments slightly transverse. 



Holotype $. Italy : Alto Polesine, reared in 1931 from Masicera [=Paraphoro- 

 cera] senilis (Mg.) (A. Goidanich), in BM(NH).
