NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF BRACONIDAE. 57 



Wings hairy and suffused with pale brown apically, de- 

 nuded and hyaline basally, radial cell short and narrow, 

 cubitus and subdiscoidal nervures almost completely obliterated, 

 areolet long petiolate and itself reduced almost to obliteration. 

 Nervures in hind wings obliterated apically. 



Hob. Amboina. One specimen. Collected by Muir. 



Apparently belongs to the same group as M. pedunculatus> 

 Szep., from Sydney, N. S. W. 



Microdus distinctus, n. sp. 



2 3 mms. long. Black, shining, punctate and partly 

 clothed with hairs, metanotum coarsely rugose, abdomen 

 microscopically rugulose on basal segment, polished apically, 

 front and middle legs, tropin and hind legs at the knee brown. 



Head transverse, wide between the eyes, which are strongly 

 convex, ocelli arranged in an isosceles triangle on the vertex, 

 the anterior angle obtuse, anterior member less than 1 dia- 

 meter from lateral, which are equidistant from the eye and 

 from each other; front broadly carinate in the middle and 

 deeply excavate behind the antennae, the excavations not mar- 

 gined posteriorly; antennae 29-jointed, shorter than the body, 

 basal joint stout, nagellum filamentous, opaque and hairy, re- 

 current apically; face a little wider than long, lateral margins 

 of the clypeus foveate, cheeks about half the short diameter 

 of the eye. Pronotum narrow, the pleurae wider, divided by a 

 transverse groove, disc polished; mesonotum convex, parapsides 

 and lateral margins costate, sternae and pleurae separated by 

 a costate furrow, hind margin of the latter also marked with 

 a costate furrow, the disc polished, disc of the scutellum 

 triangulate, a broad, deep, costate groove at the base; meta- 

 notum convex, the pleurae punctate on the disc, dorsal and 

 anterior margins marked by costate furrows. Abdomen as 

 long as the thorax, first three tergites flat dorsally, 1st longer 

 than wide and carinate at the base, 2nd and 3rd together 

 longer than 1st, the furrow between 1st and 2nd deeply im- 

 pressed on either side of the middle, division between 2nd and 

 3rd lightly marked, 4th to 8th transverse. Ovipositor longer 

 than the abdomen. Hind legs stouter than the anterior ones. 



Wings infuscate and hairy, radial cell short and extremely 



narrow, 1st abscissa of the cubitus obliterated, areolet petiolate. 



Hab. Amboina. One specimen. Collected by F. Muir. 



Sub-fam. CARDIOCHILINAE. 



Laminitarsus new genus (type muirii). 



Head transverse, face wide and short, eyes elongate, oval 

 and convex, cheeks well developed, temples full, front ex- 

 cavated, ocelli arranged in an isosceles triangle, the anterior 

 angle of which is very obtuse, the anterior member less than 

 half its diameter from lateral members, these about 2 diameters
