762 M. W. R. de V. GRAHAM 



distinctly less than the breadth of the head ; scape slightly shorter than an eye, but reaching 

 the level of the median ocellus ; pedicellus twice as long as broad, about equal in length to the 

 anelli plus the first funicular segment ; flagellum slightly clavate ; funicle stout, proximally 

 slightly stouter than the pedicellus ; funicular segments i and 2 subquadrate, 3-6 slightly 

 transverse ; clava about twice as long as broad, slightly shorter than the combined length of 

 the three preceding funicular segments ; sensilla of flagellum fairly numerous. 



Thorax 1-5-1-6 times as long as broad. Pronotal collar rather weakly and irregularly 

 margined except at the sides, reticulate with a narrow smooth strip along its hind margin. 

 Mesoscutum twice as broad as long, finely reticulate. Scutellum practically as long as the 

 mesoscutum, very finely reticulate. Propodeum sloping at only a moderate angle relative to 

 the plane of the mesoscutum and scutellum, medially about three quarters the length of the 

 scutellum ; its median area somewhat broader than long ; nucha occupying somewhat less 

 than half the length of the propodeum ; plicae and median carina sharp, the latter sometimes 

 extending on to the nucha for a short distance ; callus thickly haired. Fore wing about 2-3 

 times as long as broad ; basal cell, basal vein, and proximal part of cubital vein, bare, basal 

 cell and speculum open below ; marginal vein about 14 times as long as the stigmal vein ; 

 postmarginal vein slightly longer than the marginal. 



Gaster nearly as long as head plus thorax, long-ovate, about as broad as the thorax, 1-8-2 

 times as long as broad, acute apically ; basal tergite occupying slightly more than one third of 

 the total length, with several rather conspicuous hairs ; the three following tergites smooth, 

 bare except at the sides ; last tergite slightly shorter than its basal breadth ; tips of ovipositor 

 sheaths just visible in dorsal view. 



o*. Differs from the $ as follows: 



Body with brighter green tints ; antennae testaceous with the funicle and clava slightly 

 darker than the rest ; legs paler, not brownish-marked. 



Antenna : funicle slightly less stout, proximally not thicker than the pedicellus, its segments 

 quadrate, except the sixth which is slightly transverse, sometimes the fifth is very slightly so. 

 Fore wing with ratio of lengths of marginal vein to stigmal vein a little less than in the female. 



Gaster almost circular, flattened ; much shorter, though broader, than the thorax ; basal 

 tergite occupying half the total length, the remaining tergites very strongly transverse. 



Holotype $. Germany : Berlin, reared 1956 from Hyponomeuta evonymella 

 L., in Hope Department, University Museum, Oxford. 



Paratypes. Same data, 1^,1$, in Hope Department, Oxford ; Germany : 

 Kitzeberg, 1 $, 5.1.1932, reared from Apanteles glomeratus (L.), on Pieris brassicae 

 (L.) {H. Blunck), in BM(NH). 



The female is very near to that of acuminatus sp. n., but differs chiefly in the shape 

 of its head, which is less broad relative to the mesoscutum, less transverse, with 

 longer temples. The antennae are inserted a little lower on the head, and have a 

 slightly shorter scape. The gaster is not acuminate apically and its last tergite is 

 slightly shorter than its basal breadth ; the first four tergites are smooth. 



Eupterotnalus acuminatus sp. n.

Pteromalus submarginatus Thomson, 1878: 156, $, ex parte. 



$. Head and thorax dull bluish or dull olive-green, often with some bronze reflections 

 dorsally. Antennae blackish ; scape with at least its proximal third testaceous, sometimes 

 only its apex infuscate. Coxae concolorous with the thorax ; legs otherwise testaceous or 

 reddish with the tips of the tarsi brownish ; knees, tips of the tibiae, and bases of the tarsi,
