140 HYMENOPTERA FROM SARAWAK., 
furrows do not reach to the centre of the mesonotum. The areo- 
la is 4-angled ; it becomes gradually, but not much, widened to- 
wards the apex, which is transverse; it is moderately large, is 
wider than long and is transverse at the apex; the tooth-bear- 
ing area is longish, oblique, triangular, the keels uniting on the 
inner side. The keel on the metapleuree is narrowed at the base. 
Abdomen smooth at the base and apex ; the 2nd and 3rd segments 
are Closely, but not strongly punctured; the apical transverse 
furrows are longitudinally striated. The marks on the 3rd seg- 
ment are larger and more oval than the others ; on the 4th they are 
smaller; on the 5th they are longer and broader, the last pair 
are oval. The antenne are brownish-red below; the scape 
largely black above. oe

Pecilopimpla, gen. nov. 
Abdominal segments smooth, impunctate, broader than lone, 
without transverse or oblique depressions; the petiole broad, 
scarcely narrowed at the base. Scutellum roundly convex: its 
basal slope only keeled. Median segment with three large arez 
on the base. ‘Temples moderately large, roundly narrowed. 
Occiput rounded inwardly, margined. Vertex obliquely, roundly 
depressed. Eyes emarginate on the inner side, large, reaching 
near to the base of the mandibles. Clypeus short, separated from 
the face, depressed obliquely below and with the apex distinctly 
margined. Labrum not projecting. Mandibular teeth large and 
of equal size. Parapsidal furrows only indicated at the base. 
Areolet small, oblique, 5-angled, narrowed above. ‘Transverse 
median nervure not interstitial, being received shortly beyond 
the transverse basal. The transverse median nervure in hind 
wings broken shortly above the middle. Legs stout; the claws 
long, simple. The apical abdominal segment is broad, not nar- 
rowed as usual, at the apex; it is furrowed down the middle, 
this being also the case with the 2nd segment. 
The antenne are stout, as long as the body and hardly taper 
towards the apex. The apical abscissa of the radius is not 
curved upwards; there is a short stump ofa nervure on the cubito- 
disco nervure.
