side of this and the sides keeled. First abdominal segment longer 
than wide, strongly aciculated ; second with a smooth raised line 
in the centre, the sides with a narrow oblique furrow ; the segment 
is as strongly aciculated as the first and appears to be also finely 
striated ; the base of the third is more finely, less strongly aciculated. 
Basal half of the ventral surface rufous. Hypopygium cultriform, 
the ovipositor only very slightly projecting. Female. 
Length 2 mm. 
The keels on the metanotum may be somewhat indistinct. Pubes¬ 
cence sparse in parts, short and white. The amount of rufous colour 
on the base of the ventral surface of the abdomen seems to vary ; 
and the basal segment above may be narrowly lined with rufous. 
Metanotum aciculated finely, shining.

Black, densely covered with a white microscopic pile, the apex of 
the fore femora broadly, the base of the four hinder tibiae and of 
the tarsal joints narrowly, pale yellow ; wings clear hyaline, the 
nervures almost white ; first abdominal segment wider than long, 
the centre raised, wider than long, the sides bordered by two keels,

shining, their apices fringed with white pubescence. Head and 
thorax alutaceous, the scutellum smooth, shining, its sides below 
bordered by a furrow. Post-scutellum depressed, the edges bordered 
by a broad keel, the apex rounded. Apical part of the radius straight, 
the posterior sloped towards the base of the wing, forming an acute 
angle with the apex of cubitus, which is thinner and shorter than it. 
Apanteles bisulcata, sp. n. 
Black, the apical half of the two front femora, the apex of the 
middle below, the fore tibiae entirely, the greater part of the basal 
two-thirds of the middle, slightly more than the basal half of the 
posterior, the four anterior tarsi, except narrowly at the extreme 
apex, and the base of the four basal joints of the hinder (the basal 
more broadly than the others) pale yellow, the tarsi paler than the 
tibiae or femora ; wings clear hyaline, the nervures pallid testaceous.
