52 HYMENOPTERA FROM SARAWAK. 



the base and the lower half of the mesopleurae closely, but not 

 strongly punctured ; the middle longitudinally striated ; the 

 metapleurae punctured at the base, the rest closely longitudinally 

 striated. Legs coloured like the body, the hinder tarsi black. 

 The base of the wings have a fulvous tinge. Abdomen shining, 

 the middle segments aciculated; the gastrocceli are smooth, 

 shallow. 



It is doubtful if this is a true Anisobas. The antennas are 

 stout and are slightly thickened towards the apex ; the basal 

 joints of the flagellum are all much longer than broad ; the face 

 is obliquely narrowed from the top to the bottom ; the labrum 

 projects and is narrowed towards the apex ; the keel on the 

 propleurae (characteristic of typical Anisobas) is stout; the 

 scutellum is obliquely raised, the sides stoutly keeled and the 

 apex at the top depressed ; the median segment is completely 

 areolated ; the areola is longer than wide, is not much narrowed 

 towards the apex and rounded backwards at the base and apex ; 

 the sides are stoutly spined. The wings are as in Ichneumon. 

 The abdomen is not much longer than the head and thorax united ; 

 there are seven segments ; the last is large, above nearly as long 

 as the sixth ; the ovipositor largely projects. 



Bodargus, gen. nov. 



Eyes placed high up, separated by their own length from 

 the base of the mandibles. Face and clypeus forming almost 

 one piece ; the suture separating them being almost obsolete ; the 

 foveas are shallow ; apex of clypeus transverse, its sides broadly 

 rounded. Occiput deeply emarginate. Antennae shorter than 

 the body, serrate. Scutellum roundly convex ; the sides stoutly 

 keeled. Median segment depressed at the base ; the areola is 

 faintly indicated, is twice longer than broad, is open at the base 

 and is gradually narrowed towards the apex ; the other areas are 

 obsolete, except on the apical slope where there are three. 

 Areolet much angled, narrowed at the top. The transverse 

 basal nervure is interstitial ; there is a short nervure on the 

 cubital-disco nervure and a longer more distinct one on the 

 recurrent ; the transverse median nervure in the hind wings is 

 broken far below the middle. Legs short; the hinder femora do 

 not reach much beyond the apex of the second segment. The
