anterior and forming a distinct angle at tlie junction ; the stump of the 
cubitus forms a sharp narrow angle with it. Metanotum shining at the 
base, punctured, the punctures distinct and clearly separated, the rest is 
closely punctured ; this apical part being less than the basal. Male. 
Length, 3 mm. 
First abdominal segment hardly one-half longer than it is wide at 
the apex ; its apex, on the black central part, smooth in the middle, the 
sides closely punctured. The second segment is fully half the length of 
the third. 
This species is closely related to A. testaceolineatus, here described ; it 
may be known from it by the black apex of hind femora and tibiae and tarsi, 
by the shorter, more acutely angled posterior part of the transverse cubital 
nervure and by the less closely punctured basal part of the metanotum. 
BLACINAE. 
Cyclocormus, gen. nov. 
Head not margined, if anything, wider than the thorax ; the temples 
roundly narrowed ; the clypeus separated from the face. Antennae 
longer than the body, thirty-five-jointed ; the third joint, if anything, 
shorter than the fourth. The first abscissa of the radius not one-fourth 
of the length of the second, which is slightly roundly .curved ; the trans- 
verse median nervure is received shortly beyond the transverse basal ; 
anal nervure roundly curved, not interstitial ; the second discoidal cellule 
open at the apex, the nervure being very faint, if not obliterated beyond 
the anal nervure. 
The discoidal and cubital cellules are separated ; the apical nervures 
in the hind wings are obliterated. Tarsi shorter than the tibiae. Meta- 
notum short, broadly rounded behind, without areae or keels. Mesopleurae 
without a furrow. 
In the arrangement of Szepligeti (Gen. Ins., Braconidae, 138), this 
genus would come near Blacus, Nees., which may be readily separated 
from it by the third antennal joint being longer than the fourth, by the 
margined vertex and cheeks, by the mesopleurae being furrowed, and 
by the tarsi being also as long as the tibiae. The antennae appear to have 
more joints than Blacus , which has only seventeen in the female. 
Cyclocormus luteus , sp. n. 
Pale luteous ; the head and legs paler coloured than the body, the 
apical half of the antennae and the base and apex of the abdomen infus- 
cated, as are also the apices of the basal joints of the flagellum of the 
antennae narrowly ; wings hyaline, the stigma fuscous, its base and the 
parastigma pale. Smooth and shining, almost bare. Female. 
Length, 2 * 5 mm. ; terebra, 3 mm. 
Pretoria. October. 
First abscissa of radius two-thirds of the length of the transverse 
cubital nervure.
