a point and is nearly as long as it is wide at the base ; the second point 
is not quite so long as the top of the posterior one, runs parallel with the 
radius, is slightly curved downwards at the base and is twice longer than 
wide ; the basal abscissa of the cubitus is slightly roundly curved, and is 
a little more than half the length of the recurrent nervure ; the transverse 
median nervure is received behind the transverse basal. Sides of scutellum 
keeled ; its apical slope strongly striated. Base of metanotum finely, closely 
punctured ; the base of the posterior part irregularly reticulated, the rest 
more strongly, roundly striated. Upper half of metapleurae finely, closely 
punctured, the lower closely, rather strongly, obliquely striated; the 
sternum, pro- and mesopleurae are almost smooth ; the sternum and 
abdomen (especially at the base) are more rufous in tint than the rest of 
the body. Female. 
Length, 24 mm. 
Bred. 
Sheath of ovipositor shortly projecting, black. First abdominal 
segment as long as the scutellum and metanotum united, a little longer 
than the second, its apex nodose, twice the width of the base. The disco- 
cubital nervure is roundly curved towards the horney points shortly before 
the middle. Tibiae spineless, the apices of the tarsal joints with short 
weak spines. Temples moderately long, obliquely roundly narrowed. 
Hind ocelli almost touching the eyes. Apex of clypeus bluntly rounded. 
Enieospilus transvaalensis, sp. n. 
Dark rufo-ferruginous ; the eye orbits narrowly lined with pale yellow? 
the line on the outer wider than the inner, but not half the width of the 
orbits, the line continued more narrowly behind the ocelli, the hinder of 
which touch the eyes. Base of metanotum finely, closely, distinctly 
punctured, the middle with some fine striae ; the rest is closely, somewhat 
strongly, reticulated. Propleurae finely, closely striated, the striae oblique, 
rounded above, the upper side at the base and the lower edge smooth. 
Mesopleurae for the greater part finely, closely, obliquely striated. Meta- 
pleurae more strongly obliquely striated, the striae becoming stronger 
below. Scutellum keeled laterally to beyond the middle, closely, dis- ' 
tinctly punctured, the apical slope irregularly striated. Wings hyaline, 
the costa and stigma sordid testaceous, the nervures black ; the horny 
points without processes ; the basal irregularly triangular, with the three 
angles rounded ; at the base it is as long as it is at the apex ; the second 
point is conical, rounded at the base and apex ; the lower part narrowed. 
The disco-cubital nervure is rounded backwards near the centre, the apical 
part straight, the angle at the junction rounded ; it is unbroken. As 
usual the apical abdominal segments are infuscated. Female. 
Length, 18 mm. 
Pretoria. September. 
The pubescence is dense, white, and short. The transverse keel on 
the base of the metanotum is distinct.
