stump; the transverse median nervure is received shortly 

 behind the middle of the cellule. Eyes hairy. Clypeus not 

 separated from the face by a furrow. The 2 nd abdominal 

 segment is shorter than the others and is separated from 

 the 3 rd by a curved, distinct furrow. Legs stout, the hinder 

 coxse stout, longish; the long spur of the hinder tibise 

 almost half the length of the metatarsus. Ovipositor 

 hidden. 



This genus might be described as an Apanteles with 

 the antennse 31 — jointed, instead of 18. The only described 

 genus of Micro gasterince with a larger number of antennal 

 joints is Dapsüotoma, Cam., from India, which has 36 joints, 

 a distinct radial cellule and areolet, the median segment 

 reticulated and keeled down the middle, &c. The body is 

 very shining. 



Xestapanteles lat iann ulatus, sp. nov. 



Black, the basal half of the ventral segment pale in 

 the centre, brownish red round the edges, narrowly above, 

 broadly at the apex and below; palpi clear white; the 

 4 anterior legs rufo-testaceous, their coxse black, the hinder 

 pair black, the trochanters testaceous, the apical Joint paler 

 than the basal; the basal half of the tibise and their spurs 

 white; wings clear hyaline, the stigma fuscous, the nervures 

 pale testaceous. Head, thorax, legs and apical segments 

 of abdomen densely covered with short pale pubescence. 

 Flagellum of antennse dark fuscous, the basal 2 joints of 

 almost equal length. Head and thorax closely, distinctly 

 punctured; there is a longitudinal ovate fovea, surrounded 

 by a smooth and shining space, on the apex of the meso- 

 pleurse shortly above the middle; below its apex is a short 

 furrow, ending in an ovate fovea. Metanotum more strongly, 

 but not so closely punctured as the mesonotum; the areola 

 is small, longer than wide; it is bounded by a large 

 5— angled area, which is produced at the apex into a 

 point, the base being transverse; outside this is a narrower 

 area, the apex of which becomes obliquely widened from 

 the inner to the outerside; there are 3 areso on the apical-
