2oo z. bouCek 



very deep. Mesoscutum densely punctured, the extremely narrow interspaces on disc with 

 some transverse microreticulation but not raised transversely. Dorsellum with two moderate 

 elevations separated by median depression, hind margin with faint carina. Propodeum 

 medially about twice as long as dorsellum, with weak median and plical carinae; median area 

 with moderately thick hairs directed mostly headwards; hind margin very slightly curved. 

 Straight subvertical groove dividing upper mesopleurum narrow and shallow. Hind femur 

 nearly i-8 times as long as broad, outer surface smooth between moderately dense punctures; 

 small teeth of the comb slightly irregular (Text-fig. 225). 



Gaster (Text-fig. 227) distinctly longer than head plus thorax combined, clavate. First 

 tergite at least 1-2 times as long as broad and about o-6 the breadth of the fifth tergite; the 

 latter with deep ovipositorial groove virtually reaching base of tergite, the yellow cross-band 

 of which crosses about middle of rather long sheaths of ovipositor. Puncturation of gaster 

 relatively coarse, interspaces narrow but distinct; first tergite with raised smooth median line. 



(J. 6-3—8-7 mm. Very similar to § but gaster relatively more clavate, first tergite more 

 globose and less than half as broad as gaster posteriorly. Carapace of united tergites 1-7-1-8 

 times as long as broad. Last sternite basally deeply excavated, its apex truncate to sub- 

 emarginate medially and smooth at margin. 



Biology. The specimens collected by F. X. Williams were probably all reared 

 from the nests of Calligaster williamsi Bequaert (Eumenidae, Hym.), as mentioned 

 by him in his paper on the Oriental wasps (1919 : 163; the host then recorded as 



Calligaster cyanoptera (Saussure)).

Ferriere himself labelled, though not published, one female as Type and this is 

 now designated as lectotype, whilst his 'cotypes' become paralectotypes.
