Holotype male, Malawi: Mangoche (Fort Johnston), 1-14-34, 
emerged from flat moth cocoon on tree bark (W. A. Lamborn, 
OXFORD). Paratypes, 1 1 males, 29 females, same data as holotype 
(Oxford Museum, Bohart Museum); 3 males, 4 females, Malawi: 
Mzeze, 45 mi n. Mangoche, emerged from flat moth cocoons on tree 
bark (W. A. Lamborn, Oxford Museum, Bohart Museum, other 
major museums). 
Discussion. The rounded metanotum, 5 distal teeth on T-III, and 
broadened flagellum are characters found also in micromorpha 
Mocsary and africanum Buysson. However, both of these species 
have a definite TFC. In addition the micromorpha F-I is only 1.4X 
as long as broad instead of 1.7 as in lamborni. Also, in africanum 
the malar space is more than 2 MOD instead of only 1 MOD, and 
the lateral margin of T-III is not at all bent outward. The species is 
named for W. A. Lamborn, who collected the long type series. 
Praestochrysis luzonae Bohart, new species 
Male holotype: Length 7.5 mm. Body stout, green; deep purple 
across vertex, on scutum, and at base of T-III; T-III mostly bluish; 
F-I green in front; wings brown. Punctures coarse, close on vertex, 
widely separated by 4 smooth swellings on pronotum (fig. 3f), 
mostly a puncture diameter apart on rest of notum and terga. Head 
1.55X as broad as long (fig. 3a), with prominent rugosities on vertex 
near eyes; F-I about twice as long as broad (fig. 3d), F-V 1.4X as 
broad as long; scapal basin short and broad, rather closely punctate; 
TFC broadly M-like (fig. 3a), branching above to nearly enclose 
midocellus and form a lid behind it; malar space 2.1 MOD; suban- 
tennal space 1 MOD; pronotum as long as scutellum, no median 
groove; metanotum with a flat, subtriangular mucro (fig. 3c); meso- 
pleuron edentate but with prominent carinae below large scrobal 
sulcus, episternal sulcus deep and punctate; propodeal projection 
large, acute, slightly convex behind; T-II without midcarina; T-III 
evenly convex before weakly developed pit row (fig. 3b), pits unev- 
enly shaped, mostly broader than long, lateral margin of III nearly 
straight, 5 sharp distal teeth, outer pair shortest; S-II spots rounded, 
touching (fig. 3e). 
Female. Unknown. 
Holotype male, Philippines: Luzon, Los Banos, IV-19-60 (A. 
Ojamin; U.S. National Museum, Washington).
