Funicle as in morum. Golden yellow, the wings hyaline, the pronotum, the abdomen 
except down the whole of the median line and a large wedge-shaped spot at cephalic margin 
of scutum on each side of meson, dusky black. Incisions of abdominal segments and the legs

7. TETRASTICHODES CONSOBRIMUS new species. 
Female: — Length, 1,80 mm. 
Like fasciatus but the abdomen bears five narrow stripes of black across it, all of which 
are interrupted at the meson except the third, the fifth stripe merely represented by a short, 
transverse dot in the centre of each medial half; also the dorsum of thorax is unmarked 
excepting for a small ovate spot at the apex of each axilla, a larger spot near the tegula just 
caudo -later ad. of the first aucl the cephalic margin of the propodeum and the latter's meson. 
Centre of scutellum a little brownish. Second funicle joint shorter than the other two. 
Compared with specimens of fasciatus. 
M a l e : — U n kn own . 
Described from three females reared with fasciatus from a lot of miscellaneous galls on

8. TETRASTICHODES FASCIATUS (Girault). Female. 
Zagrammosomoides fasciaUis Girault. Genotype. 
Flavous, the wings hyaline the appendages concolorous. Conspicuously marked with 
black as follows: In the dorsal aspect the abdomen is banded across the posterior margins 
of the segments commencing at base, there being six transverse stripes which lengthen (widen) 
distad. The propodeum is black, also the pronotum cephalad in the dorsal aspect on each side 
of the median line appearing like two large cuneate spots, a large ovate spot in the centre of 
the mesoscutellum, an ovate spot on each side of (not upon) the scutum, in the cephalic angle 
of each axilla and a smaller spot at the eau do-lateral angle of the pronotum. Cephalad in 
the disk the scutum is distinctly stained except along the median line; each parapside is- 
similarly stained and also the vertex may be so the stained area projecting into the face 
(cephalic aspect) like wedges on each side. The antenna* are suffused with dusky as are also' 
the femora of the legs more or less. The proximal club joint is nearly half as long as the 
entire club. Whole body finely polvgonally reticulated, the vertex and face with more or less 
obscure umbilicate punctures. Funicle joints much smaller than the pedicel, subquadrate.
