HYMENOPTERA FROM SARAWAK. 121 
itudinal striz are mixed with transverse finger striec. The 
sutures are closely striated. ‘The areaon the base of the 2nd 
segment is long and narrowed, extends to shortly beyond the 
middle and becomes drawn out into a fine point. The oblique 
depressions on the 3rd and 4th segments are shallow and not 
very distinct. The sheaths of the ovipositor are thickly covered 
with hair. 
The toothed apex of the antennal scape is not so prominent 
aS itis in the type (C. lamelluata, Cam.) <A characteristic of 
the genus is the long front tarsi which are more than twice the 
length of the tibie. 
In Mr. Ashmead’s generic synopsis of the genera of 
Braconide (U.S. Nat. Mus. Bull. xxiii, 137) no mention is made 
of the broad front plate, stress being laid on the toothed apex 
of the scape which is probably only of secondary importance. 
Chaolta Cam. (Manchr. Memoirs, 4th May, 1899, No. 3, p. 81) is 
identical with Blastomorpha, Szepligeti, Termesz, Fuzetek; xxiii, 
p. 50, 1900. To it also belong Bracon intrudens,Sm., from 
Celebes, B. perplexus, Sm., B. inguretus, Sm., from Borneo and 
B. vulturosus, 5m., from Singapore. 
Llphea, gen. nov. 
Abdomen long and narrow, almost cylindrical; the seg- 
ments, except the apical, longer than broad, smooth without 
transverse furrows, the 2nd and 3rd segments separated like the 
others and without a suturiform articul tion; the 2nd segment 
with a large shield-shaped plate on the base of the second seg- 
ment. Hypopygium large cultriform. Antenne long and stout, 
the scape large, globose. ‘Temples large, roundly narrowed; occi- 
put roundly incised. Eyes large, slightly incised on the inner side; 
the malar space of moderate length. Wings long and narrow ; 
the transverse median nervure interstitial ; the transverse basal 
is united to the cubital a short distance from the base of the lat- 
ter, which issues from the costa and not from the transverse basal ; 
the recurrent nervure is received at the apex of the Ist cubital 
cellule and is not interstitial; the anal nervure is received 
shortly below the middle. Fore tarsi about one-fourth longer 
than the tibie; the Ist joint of the tarsi not much longer than
