Apanteles euryg aster, sp. n. 
Black ; the sides of the basal two abdominal segments broadly rufo- 
testaceous, the legs of a deeper rufo-testaceous colour, the hind legs with 
the coxae, apex of hind femora narrowly, of the hind tibiae more broadly 
and the hind tarsi black ; wings hyaline, the stigma and the transverse 
cubital nervures fuscous, the basal nervures pale ; the second cubital cellule 
is twice longer than it is wide at the apex, where it is almost closed ; the 
anterior part of the cubitus is almost twice longer than the posterior. 
Metanotum smooth and shining, a narrow keel down the middle, the sides 
and apex more strongly keeled. First abdominal segment as long as it 
is wide at the apex, the base in the middle widely depressed ; the second 
segment is a little longer than the third. Genitial armature testaceous, 
black at the apex. Male. 
Length, 3 mm. 
Pretoria. May. 
Head and thorax densely covered with short white pubescence. The 
central keel on the metanotum is striated on either side. The abdomen 
is broader than it is with the other species and the areolet shows an approach 
to the closed one of Microgaster. 
Apanteles africanus , sp. n. 
Black ; the anterior legs except the coxae, the middle except the 
coxae, trochanters and basal half of femora and basal ventral segment, 
testaceous ; the hind legs black, the basal third of the tibiae and of the 
tarsi very narrowly testaceous, the calcaria whitish testaceous ; wings 
hyaline, the stigma fuscous, the nervures pale, the transverse radial nervure 
broadly rounded. Palpi almost white. Head and thorax shagreened, 
the metanotum hardly more strongly than the rest, its sides margined.

segment shorter than the third ; the back has a bluish tinge. Female.

The cocoon is clear white. Head and thorax covered with short, 
white pubescence. The scutellum is bounded by a crenulated furrow 
laterally. 
Apanteles fuscinervis, sp. n. 
Black ; the sides of the first abdominal segment and of the second 
rufo-testaceous ; the line on the first becoming gradually widened towards 
the apex, that on the second narrow, of equal width, the basal half of the 
ventral surface similarly coloured ; the legs of a brighter rufo-testaceous 
colour, the hind coxae, apex of hind femora, more than the apical third 
of the hind tibiae and the hind tarsi, black ; wings hyaline, the costa, 
stigma, and nervures pale testaceous. Metanotum finely, closely 
punctured all over ; there is a weak keel down the centre and the sides 
and apex are bounded by stronger keels. Male.
