HYMENOPTERA OF SARAWAK. 101 



much longer on the lower than on the upper side ; the trans- 

 verse median nervure is received distinctly beyond the trans- 

 verse basal ; the cubitus is very faint, almost obliterated be- 

 yond the transverse cubital. 



This species has the cubitus originating 1 far back behind 

 the stigma as in Zeuxevcuiia, but in that group the 1st cubital 

 and the discoidal cells are not separated as they are in my 

 species and in Evania. 



Braconim;. 



Chaolta ruficeps, sp. nov. 



Black, the head, antennal scape, thorax and 4 front legs 

 rufous ; wings dark fuscous-violaceous, with black stigma and 

 nervures ; sheath of ovipositor stout, black, covered with long,

Length 17; terebra 19 mm. 



Hab. Buatal. April. 



Scape of antennae smooth, not excavated, or with the sides 

 keeled ; its apex below with a stout keel ending in a short 

 broad tooth. Plate below the antennae large, rounded and 

 narrowed towards the apex ; its keel its stout, reaches close to 

 the middle and originates at the base of the antennae, its apical 

 half being higher than the basal and dilated in the middle; the 

 face below it and the sides above are irregularly punctured and 

 striated. Oral depression with stout, oblique sides above. 

 Temples longer than the eyes. Median segment infuscated in 

 the middle ; its sides closely punctured. The sides of petiole 

 closely, distinctly longitudinally striated ; the centre more ir- 

 regularly striated, the striae running into reticulations ; the 

 2nd and 3rd abdominal segments are closely, strongly longi- 

 tudinally striated, the striae stronger in the middle and at the 

 base, the area being similarly striated ; the 4th segment is close- 

 ly, rugose, almost reticulated ; the others smooth ; the furrows 

 wide and shallow, striated. Wings long; 2nd abscissa of radius 

 about on^, fourth longer than the 3rd.
