NEW CHALCTD-FLTES FROM CAPE COLONY. 
By Charles T. Brues 
The following seven new species of Hymenoptera of the super- 
family Chalcidoidea were sent to me by Dr. Hans Brauns of 
Willomore, Cape Colony. The types are in the Milwaukee Public 
Museum. 
They represent an interesting addition to the very small num- 
ber of Chalcids so far described from South Africa. Two form 
the types of new genera, while the others add three genera not 
hitherto recorded from that region. 
FAMILY TORYMID^. 
SUBEAMILY ORMYRIN.^. 
Ormyrodes gen. nov. 
Body coarsely punctate, nowhere striate, the punctures at the 
base of the middle abdominal segments scarcely coarser than else- 
where. Abdomen very long, subulate, nearly three times as long 
as the head and thorax, with a strong median dorsal carina ex- 
tending from the base of the third abdominal segment to the tip 
of the abdomen. Ocelli large, the lateral ones equidistant from 
the median one and the eye-margin. Eyes thickly pilose. Pro- 
thorax one-half as long and considerably narrower than the 
mesonotum, the latter with a slight depression on each side to 
indicate obsolete parapsidal furrows. Legs slender, tibial spurs 
small and delicate. Tarsi all rather distinctly spinous beneath. 
Wings with a long marginal vein, two-fifths as long as the sub- 
marginal. Stigmal one-third the length of the marginal, clavate 
and unusually oblique ; postmarginal as long or longer than the 
marginal, attenuated gradually at the tip and continued as a faint 
thickening as far as the wing tip. 
Type O. carinatns sp. nov. 
The extremely long, awl-shaped abdomen, uniformly punctuate 
body, hairy eyes, and long postmarginal vein in the wings will 
serve to identify the genus which falls close to Ormyriis. In sculp- 
ture of the body it resembles Forster's Tribceus; the latter is how-
