deep, straight, converging towards the apex. Sides of metanotum broadly 
rounded, the middle depressed, finely obliquely striated on the upper 
half, the lower with fine striae which form almost reticulations. The 
last abdominal segment forms a longish triangular projection ; the apex 
of the sheath of the ovipositor is testaceous. The abdomen is hardly so 
long as the meso- and metathorax united ; the petiole is short. Marginal 
vein distinctly thicker and not quite so long as the post-marginal ; the 
stigmal vein ending in a semicircular thickening. 
The colouration of the legs probably varies.

Eurytoma palliditarsis, sp. n. 
Black ; the head, thorax, apical segments of abdomen and legs densely 
covered with white pubescence ; the antennal scape, mandibles, palpi, 
and legs rufo-fulvous, the hind tibiae at the base and apex and the hind 
tarsi white ; the flagellum of the antennae testaceous, infuscated above ; 
wings hyaline, the nervures whitish. Female. 
Length, 2*5 mm. 
Pretoria. September “ from a gall ”. 
Flagellum of antennae stout, covered with white pubescence ; the 
third joint about one-fourth longer than the fourth. Metanotum obscurely 
striated, the top and outer edges bordered by a keel, which is broadly 
rounded above, and there is a straight keel down the centre. The marginal 
vein is distinctly longer than the post-marginal, and is distinctly longer 
than it, and projects only very slightly beyond the stigmal vein, which is 
semicircuiarly dilated below.

Tetragonaspis, Mayr. 
Euhoebelea (?) testaceipes, sp. n. 
Black ; the antennal scape, the pedicle, the legs, the apical segments 
of the abdomen above, and the ventral segments testaceous ; the face, 
clypeus, oral region, palpi, and mandibles of a darker, more rufous, 
testaceous colour ; the flagellum dark rufo-testaceous ; wings clear hyaline, 
the nervures dark testaceous, the stigmal branch paler. Female. 
Length, 2*5 mm. ; terebra, 8 mm. 
Pretoria. Bred. 
Head and thorax, except the metanotum (which is smooth and shining), 
opaque, the abdomen smooth, shining. Joints of flagellum wider than 
long. The post-marginal branch is a little longer than the marginal ; 
the stigmal branch is two-thirds of its length. Parapsidal furrows distinct, 
curved roundly, not commencing at the base of the mesonotum, but at 
the sides, distant from the base. Scutellum large, quadrangular, of equal 
width, longer than wide. Ocelli in a curve, the hinder widely separated, 
placed close to the eyes. The antennae are not much thickened towards 
the apex ; the third joint is longer than thick and longer than the fourth.
