The first abdominal segment is about one-fourth longer than it is

The furrow bordering the seutellum is wide and is irregularly crenulated. 
Apanteles transvaalensis, sp. n. 
Black ; shining, legs black, the front pair except the coxae, the apex 
of middle femora, their tibiae and tarsi, the basal half of the hind tibiae, 
the basal joint of the hind tarsi at the basal fourth and the base of the 
other joints very narrowly, testaceous, as are also the calcaria ; wings 
hyaline, the stigma dark fuscous, paler at the base, the nervures pale, 
except the hinder part of the transverse cubital, which is fuscous. Palpi 
testaceous. Face covered densely with white pubescence, the thorax 
more sparsely pilose. Female. 
Length, 2 mm. 
Pretoria. April. 
Head and thorax shagreened ; the metanotum finely punctured ; 
there are two faint keels on its base, converging towards the base, and 
two more distinct ones on the apex converging towards the apex. Basal 
segment of the abdomen distinctly longer than it is wide at the apex, 
coarsely shagreened ; the other segments very shining, slightly tinged 
with blue ; the second and third are not clearly separated. The front 
part of the transverse cubital nervure is slightly longer and distinctly 
thinner than the posterior ; it is roundly angled outwardly at the junction. 
Antennae covered with a fuscous, microscopic pile. 
Apanteles testaceolineatus, sp. n. 
Black ; the sides of the basal two abdominal segments above pale 
testaceous, the line on the second widened towards the apex, that on the 
second towards the base, the ventral surface of a more reddish testaceous 
colour ; legs rufo-testaceous ; palpi pale testaceous ; wings hyaline, the 
stigma and nervures fuscous, the basal nervures paler ; the transverse 
cubital nervure not much narrowed posteriorly. Female. 
Length, 3 mm. 
Smooth and shining ; sparsely covered with a white microscopic 
pile ; the metanotum finely punctured, not keeled. First abdominal 
segment about one-half longer than it is wide at the apex ; the second is

mark on the sides, wider than that on the second. The transverse cubital 
nervure is wider than the others. Legs densely covered with a white pile, 
the hind coxae are black, the apex of the hind tibiae and the hind tarsi 
infuscated. 
Apanteles testaceioventris , sp. n.

second dorsal segments pale testaceous, that on the first widened towards 
the apex, that on the second narrower, of equal width ; legs testaceous, 
the hind coxae black, the apex of the hind femora narrowly, of the hind 
tibiae more broadly (the apical fourth) and the hind tarsi black, the base 
of the tarsal joints testaceous ; wings hyaline, the stigma and nervures 
black ; the posterior part of the transverse cubitus shorter than the
