 on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th abdominal segments — the 4 

 middle marks larger, broader than long, the 1st and 4th smaller 

 rounded — and the base of the hinder tibiae narrowly, black ; 

 wings hyaline, the apex slightly, narrowly, smoky, the ovipositor

Length 12 mm.; terebra 4 mm. 



Kuching. 



Areola 4-angled, narrow ; the tooth bearing area oblique, 

 triangular, transverse, sharply pointed on the innerside ; the 

 basal lateral area narrowed on the innerside ; the outer keel 

 roundly curved outwardly. Face flat, closely punctured ; the 

 clypeus gradually, roundly narrowed to a sharp point. Areolet 

 4-angled, shortly but distinctly appendiculated ; the recurrent 

 nervure is received shortly beyond the middle. Basal two seg- 

 ment of abdomen smooth, shining, impunctate; the others 

 closely punctured ; the transverse furrows narrow, shallow, 

 crenulated. First abdominal segment twice longer than its 

 width at the base ; the 2nd square, the others broader than 

 long. Front, vertex and entire thorax smooth, shining, im- 

 punctate. Face longer than broad ; the clypeal fovea deep. 

 Scutellum roundly convex. 



Belongs to Krieger's Group. I. (Berich. d. Naturf. Gess. 

 zu Leipzig, 1898, p. 92). It is allied to punctata Fab. Sec. 

 Krieger, but, inter alia, wants the spots on metanotum. 



Xanthopimpla himaculata, sp. nov. 



Luteous, the head and thorax smooth, impunctate, the 

 mesonotum with 2 large conical spots ; the front and vertex 

 broadly in the centre, the occiput with a much broader mark 

 a small mark, wider than long, on the sides of the metanotum, 

 and marks on the 7 basal segments of the abdomen, black ; 

 the areola large, 6-angled, longer than wide ; wings hyaline, 

 the nervures and stigma black ; the ovipositor shorter than
