94 HYMENOPTERA FROM SARAWAK, 
its apex more broadly, a large curved line on the post scutellum, 
a large mark on the mesopleure narrowed and rounded below, 
its top at the base and apex—the apex more widely—obliquely 
narrowed, the greater part of the base of the metapleurae—the 
mark straight at the base, the apex rounded and its top part 
wider than the lower, a large curved—its top rounded—oblique 
mark on either side of the 1stabdominal segment, a broad trans- 
verse line on the 2nd, a large curved one on the 3rd, which is 
dilated roundly backwards at the side and is then continued 
along the lower edges to the base of the segment, 2 small oblique 
marks on the top of the 4th, yellow; the remaiuing segments. 
and the ventral surface rufous, mixed slightly with yellow. Legs 
yellow, the fore-femora broadly above, the middle broadly, 
irregularly at the base, a large curved mark on the outerside 
of the hinder-narrow at the top becoming gradually wider to- 
wards the bottom-the lower edge and the teeth, the hinder 
tibie broadly below on the inner and outer sides and their 
calcaria, deep black. Wings almost hyaline, the fore pair 
infuscated broadly in front, the nervures black.

Except the front, the entire head and body is strongly and 
closely punctured; the face and clypeus are more closely and 
finely punctured than the rest; the front above the antenne is 
smooth and shining; the scutellar depressions are strongly, 
distinctly, but not very closely, striated ; the lower part of the 
pro- and mesopleuree depressed and smoothand shining, this part on 
the mesopleure being obscurely finely striated around the edges. 
There are 7 teeth on the hinder femora: the basal one is short, 
blunt and indistinct; the 2nd is not much longer, but more 
distinct and broader; the middle 8 are very much larger, longer 
and more widely separated; the 6th is distinctly shorter than the 
5th; and the 7th is shorter and less distinct than the 6th. The 
hinder tarsi are rufous: the 4 anterior dark yellow; the hinder 
coxee are rufous on the under side at the apex and have there a 
yellow mark. The ovipositor reaches to the apex of the scutellum.
