  CAMERON, 
  Hymenoptera 
  Orientalia. 
  

  

  middle, 
  dilated 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  apex, 
  the 
  basal 
  dilation 
  

   being 
  the 
  larger; 
  the 
  yellow 
  on 
  the 
  mesopleurae 
  is 
  more 
  

   extended, 
  the 
  basal 
  part 
  being 
  entirely 
  yellow, 
  as 
  is 
  also 
  

   the 
  sternum 
  ; 
  the 
  yellow 
  lines 
  on 
  the 
  abdomen 
  are 
  also 
  

   more 
  extended. 
  

  

  Chrysopimpla 
  PERSIMILIS, 
  Sp. 
  nov. 
  

  

  Long. 
  9 
  mm.

  . 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  looks 
  like 
  a 
  small 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  preceding 
  

   (P. 
  ornalipes), 
  with 
  which 
  it 
  agrees 
  closely 
  in 
  general 
  

   coloration; 
  but 
  it 
  is, 
  I 
  believe, 
  quite 
  distinct. 
  Apart 
  from 
  

   the 
  size, 
  it 
  differs 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  thorax 
  quite 
  smooth, 
  

   without 
  any 
  punctures 
  ; 
  the 
  areolet 
  is 
  not 
  petiolated 
  ; 
  the 
  

   abdominal 
  depressions 
  are 
  very 
  indistinct; 
  the 
  hinder 
  

   coxae 
  not 
  black 
  marked 
  with 
  yellow, 
  but 
  yellow 
  and 
  

   fulvous 
  marked 
  with 
  black 
  above 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  side. 
  

  

  Antennae 
  slightly 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  body 
  ; 
  the 
  scape 
  

   yellow 
  ; 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  flagellum 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  

   brownish. 
  Head 
  shining, 
  impunctate 
  ; 
  the 
  front 
  broadly, 
  

   the 
  ocellar 
  region, 
  the 
  vertex 
  and 
  occiput, 
  except 
  at 
  the 
  

   sides, 
  black. 
  Mandibular 
  teeth 
  black. 
  Thorax 
  shining, 
  

   impunctate, 
  except 
  behind 
  the 
  metathoracic 
  spiracles, 
  

   where 
  it 
  is 
  rough 
  and 
  irregularly 
  punctured, 
  and 
  the 
  

   extreme 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  mesopleurae, 
  which 
  is 
  crenulated. 
  

   On 
  the 
  mesonotum 
  are 
  two 
  lines, 
  dilated 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  

   narrowed 
  towards 
  the 
  apex, 
  running 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  to 
  the 
  

   scutellum 
  ; 
  the 
  scutellum, 
  postscutellum, 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  

   propleurae, 
  a 
  large 
  mark 
  on 
  the 
  mesopleurae, 
  broad 
  at 
  

   the 
  base 
  and 
  continued 
  narrowly 
  there 
  to 
  the 
  sternum, 
  

   and 
  irregularly 
  rounded 
  behind, 
  and 
  the 
  metapleurae, 
  

   except 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  a 
  line 
  running 
  obliquely 
  to 
  the 
  

   spiracles, 
  yellow. 
  The 
  median 
  segment 
  is 
  yellow, 
  except 
  

   for 
  a 
  broad, 
  hourglass-shaped 
  mark, 
  down 
  the 
  centre. 
  

   Legs 
  fulvous; 
  the 
  four 
  front 
  coxae 
  and 
  trochanters, 
  and
