brown; the antennae black. Thorax and the anterior and intermediate legs
ferruginous; an ovate black spot on the metathorax; and the posterior
legs black, with the articulations obscurely ferruginous; wings dark
fuscous, with the nervures and stigma black, the base of the latter
yellowish, and a hyaline streak beneath it, which crosses the first
submarginal cell. Abdomen black and shining; the first segment with some
coarse striae at the apex; the second with a central forked carina and
an oblique one on each side running inwards to the apex of the segment;
between the carinae are a number of deep grooves; the lateral margins of
the three basal segments carinated; the third segment has a row of short
deep striae at its base; the ovipositor longer than the body.
_Hab._ Aru.
8. BRACON INTRUDENS. _B._ niger; thorace, pedibus anticis intermediisque
et abdominis segmento basali ferrugineis; alis hyalinis.
_Female._ Length 5 lines. Black; the thorax, anterior and intermediate
legs, the articulations of the posterior pair, and the base of the
abdomen ferruginous, entirely smooth and shining; the wings subhyaline,
the nervures fusco-ferruginous, an irregular fuscous stain at the base
of the first submarginal cell, extending beyond it. Abdomen: the basal
segment margined at the sides; the second segment with an oblique deeply
impressed line running inwards, not quite meeting or extending to the
apical margin.
_Hab._ Aru.
Gen. AGATHIS, _Latr._
1. AGATHIS FUMIPENNIS. _A._ ferruginea; capite, abdominis apice
tarsisque posticis nigris; alis obscure fuscis.
_Female._ Length 4 lines. Reddish-yellow; the head, apical joint of the
intermediate tarsi, the apex of the posterior tibiae, and the third and
following segments of the abdomen black; the thorax and legs with a
thin, short, pale fulvous pubescence; the head and abdomen smooth and
shining; the head produced before the eyes into a kind of beak,
rufo-piceous anteriorly. Thorax narrowed before the wings, which are
dark fuscous, with a hyaline irregular mark below the stigma, crossing
the submarginal cell; the anterior margin of the anterior wings
pubescent; the metathorax broad, margined laterally, with a central
forked carina, and a crooked one on each side; the posterior legs
incrassate. Abdomen with the sides of the upper surface carinated.

Fabricius includes this insect in the genus _Chrysis_; the typical
specimen, however, proves that it belongs to the more modern genus
_Stilbum_: it is very distinct from _S. splendidum_, being much more
strongly and coarsely punctured; and the teeth which arm the apical
segment are differently disposed on the margin.
Fam. TENTHREDINIDAE, _Leach_.
