Celebes. It has the same general colouration as our species, but 
with the hinder femora red; the median segment being also red. 
Trichiothecus ruficeps, Sp. nov. 
Black; the head pro- and mesothorax and the 4 anterior legs 
ferruginous: the wings uniformly fucous-violaceous. Q. 
Length 18 mm. terebra 15 mm.

Antenne black, the scape rufous. Head smooth and shin- 
ing; the face sparsely covered with black pubescence; the 
clypeus with longer hair. Mandibles ferruginous, their teeth 
black. Metanotum covered with black pubescence, its base ru- 
fous. Petiole smooth and shining; its centre broadly raised in 
the centre which bears some large scattered punctures. The 
2nd to Sth segments are closely and somewhat strongly punctur- 
ed, except on their apices; the depressions havea stout keel in 
the middle. Tibiz and tarsi thickly covered with stiff black 
pubescence. Sheath of the ovipositor thickly covered with 
short, stiff black pubescence. 
Xanthopimpla latebalteata, sp. nov. 
Rufous-yellow ; the vertex, the front broadly in the middle, 
the upper part of the vertex to the middle, the mesonotum ex- 
cept at the base, the base of the metanotum to shortly below _ 
the middle of the areola and broad transverse bands on all the 
abdomial segments—occupying more than the basal half of the 
segments and the whole of the apical one—black. Wings hya- 
live, the apex slightly infuscated. Areola large, longer than 
wide. Legs immaculate. Antennae black, brownish beneath ; 
the scape yellow beneath. 6. 
Length 14 mm. 
Hab. Kuching. 
Face distinctly punctured, thickly covered with white pubes- 
cence. The basal central part of the mesonotum is more dis- - 
tinctly raised than usual; the furrows do not extend beyond the 
basal third. Scutellum and post-scutellum stoutly keeled 
laterally. Areola distinctly longer than wide, the basal two 
thirds obliquely narrow; the lateral keel is received shortly, 
but clearly, beyond its middle; the apex is transverse. The
