margined except at the sides, behind the carina mainly smooth in the middle third. Meso- 

 scutum about twice as broad as long, moderately finely reticulate, rather more coarsely in the 

 middle. Scutellum about as long as the mesoscutum, slightly broader than long, moderately 

 convex, somewhat coarsely reticulate, the frenum rather more finely than the rest. Propodeum 

 about, or slightly more than, three quarters as long as the scutellum ; median area 11-1-2 

 times as broad as long, strongly and somewhat coarsely reticulate ; median carina distinct, 

 extending slightly on to the nucha, the latter occupying slightly less than half the total length ; 

 callus moderately thickly pilose. Mesopleuron moderately finely reticulate ; upper triangular 

 area of mesepisternum not quite smooth but with traces of alutaceous sculpture. Fore wing 

 with marginal vein 1-45-1 65 times as long as the stigmal vein ; postmarginal vein slightly 

 shorter than the marginal. 



Gaster ovate, about as long as the thorax, 1-4-1 5 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. 



o*. Differs from the $ as follows : 



Eyes smaller, separated by 1-55-1-6 times their length ; malar space 0-52-0-58 the length of 

 an eye ; antennal scape fully as long as an eye, reaching slightly above the vertex ; pedicellus 

 barely twice as long as broad ; funicle proximally not stouter than the pedicellus [distal part 

 of flagellum missing] ; gaster subcircular, shorter than but as broad as the thorax. 



Holotype $. England : Dorsetshire, Studland Bay, 26.vii.1921, reared from 

 a cocoon of Lasiocampa trifolii (Esp.) (T. E. Belcher), in BM(NH). 

 Paratypes. Same data, 2 $, 4 $, in BM(NH). 



The female is near that of submarginatus (Thomson) but differs in having the 

 antennal scape longer, reaching above the median ocellus ; head in dorsal view 

 slightly more transverse, with scrobes less deeply excavated, temples more rounded 

 posteriorly, hind ocelli more remote from edge of occiput. It differs from that of 

 potatoriae sp. n. in having the proximal segments of the antennal funicle quadrate, the 

 occiput rather more deeply excavated, size slightly greater. 



The male is very close to that of potatoriae but has the first segment of the antennal 

 funicle quadrate and as long as the second. 



Eupteromalus laticeps sp. n. 



(Text-figs. 615, 630) 



$. Body black with a slight bluish tinge. Antennal scape testaceous, fuscous distally ; 

 pedicellus and flagellum fuscous. Coxae concolorous with thorax, legs otherwise reddish 

 testaceous with the fifth tarsal segment brownish. Tegulae brownish testaceous. Wings 

 faintly tinged with grey ; venation brownish testaceous. Length 1-75 mm. 



Head in dorsal view (Text-fig. 615) notably transverse, nearly 1-3 times as broad as the meso- 

 scutum, 2-25 times as broad as long ; temples slightly more than one quarter as long as eyes, 

 converging strongly ; POL 1-25 OOL, ocelli very small, separated by 3 times their major 

 diameter from the eyes. Head in frontal view oval. Eyes separated by 1-4 times their length. 

 Malar space slightly less than half length of eye. Anterior margin of clypeus hardly produced, 

 shallowly emarginate. Head moderately finely, but rather strongly, reticulate. Both 

 mandibles with 4 teeth. Antennae (Text-fig. 630) inserted distinctly above level of ventral 

 edge of eyes ; scape nearly seven eighths length of an eye, reaching the median ocellus ; com- 

 bined length of pedicellus and flagellum distinctly less than breadth of head ; pedicellus slightly 

 more than twice as long as broad, slightly longer than anelli plus first funicular segment ; 

 flagellum distinctly clavate ; funicle proximally distinctly stouter than the pedicellus ; proxi-
