118 HYMENOPTERA FROM SARAWAK, 
This is probably the species recorded ‘by Smith (Journ. 
Linn. Soc. 1857, 122) from Sarawak as Bracon aculeator, Fab.; 
but the present is different from the Indian species I have 
regarded as aculeator, Fab., Sec. Brullé. According to Brullé the 
latter has the basal 3 segments of the abdomen finely longitudi- 
nally striated and it has a transverse furrow outhe base of the 
oth segment. : 
In colouration this species is identical with /. luertius here 
described ; but that species is easily known by the head being 
obliquely narrowed behind the eyes. 
Black, the TELS Juscous, hj paling at the apex. Short broad 
species. 
Iphiaulax wichvasoita Sp. NOV. 
Black, thickly covered with black hair, the head,,. scape of 
antenne and the fore femora in front rufo-testaceous, the wings 
dark fuscous to the base of the stigma, beyond that milk white; - 
the stigma from near the base pale testaceous, the radial and 
cubital nervures pale, almost white. Q. 
Length 7-8 mm., terebra 1 mm. 
Hab. Kuching. 
Scape of antenne short, about twice longer than broad. Have 
sparsely punctured and covered with fuscous hair. The scutellar 
depression is rufous. Post-scutellum irregularly longitudinally 
closely striated and with a smooth keel in the centre which be- 
comes wider at the apex. The 2ud to 5th segments are closely 
longitudinally striated, the strize intermixing all over; the basal 
plate on the 2nd segment is elongate, extends to the middle of 
the segment and becomes gradually narrowed; it is bordered later- 
ally by 3 stout oblique keels. ‘The 3 transverse furrows are wide, 
deep and longitudinally striated; the lateral furrows are wide and 
shallow; they are dark rufous in the centre. Legs thic y 
covered with black hair. The 1lstand2nd abscissz are together 
not equal in length to the 3rd; the recurrent nervure is not quite 
interstitial, it being received at the apex of the 1st cubital cellule. 
The eyes are distinctly margined; the ocellar region black; 
the temples are distinctly, roundly narrowed; the occiput is 
transverse; the abdomen is elongate-ovate, narrowed towards 
the base and apex.
