HYMENOPTERA FROM SARAWAK. 103 
The wings have a steel-coloured iridescence; all the ner- 
vures are complete; the basal abscissa of the radius is distinct- 
ly shorter than the apical; it is straight, not curved, and is 
slightly angled near the base. The ovipositor and abdomen 
appear to be stouter than usual; the former is as long as the 
body.

Black, shining, the head, pro- and mesothorax, the front legs 
and the middle coxe, trochanters and femora, red: the Ist, 2nd 
and basal half of the 3rd abdominal segments strongly longitudi-

~° Hab. Kuching, February. 
Antenne black, shorter than the body; the scape 3 times 
longer than broad, of equal width throughout; the 3rd about 
one-third longer than the fourth. Front of vertex smooth and 
shining, their sides sparsely haired. Face strongly punctured, 
except in the centre above the clypeus, where it is depressed. 
Clypeus smooth, bare, except at the apex, twice broader than 
high, its sides above broadly rounded. Mandibles rufous, 
black at the apex, the middle closely and finely striated. 
Metanotum covered with black hair; its apical slope rather 
strongly longitudinally striated. ‘The raised apical part of the 
petiole is depressed and smooth in the middle; the sides 
are stoutly, irregularly striated; the apical half of the 
lateral depression is stoutly transversely striated. The 2nd seg- 
ment is closely, strongly longitudinally striated except on the
