TWO NEW SPECIES OF AGATHIN^ FROM BORNEO. 229 very close to the modern genus Apis ; separable subgenerically, perhaps, because the basal nervure meets, or almost meets, the transverso-medial, as m Mellpona. As there is no reason to suppose that it has anything to do with Osmia carbonum (which, in any event, is indeterminate), and since it cannot be reconciled with A. dormitans, it may be described as follows : — Apis {Syiiapis, subg. nov.) henshawi, sp. nov. ^ . Length 15 or 16 mm. ; vertex with long erect black hair, as in A. mellifera ; this hair appears to be plumose ; mandibles toothless, obliquely truncate, quite as in modern Apis ; mesothorax bare ; au-tennse normal ; tongue long, normal ; abdomen banded ; claws bifid, the inner tooth short, as m modern Apis ; pulvillus well-developed ; sting visible ; venation as in modern Apis, except that the basal nervure almost meets the transverso-medial, and the upper side of the second submarginal cell seems shorter ; the long marginal cell, with rounded apex, the peculiar submarginals, the basal with its lower section much the longest, &c., are plainly visible, but unfortunately the termination of the second recurrent nervure cannot be seen. The insect is named after Mr. Samuel Henshaw, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology. The Museum of Comparative Zoology also contains an ex-ample of Anthopho rites mellona, Heer, from CEningen, determined by Heer himself. It is stout-bodied, 17 or 18 mm. long, abdomen apparently banded ; hind tibia visible, and shaped as in Ajns. The venation cannot be seen, but a large part of it was visible in Heer's original type, as his figure shows. TWO NEW SPECIES OF AGATHIN^ (BRACONID^) FROM BOENEO. / By p. Cameron. Euagathis leptopterus, sp. nov. Luteous ; the flagellum of antennae and the hind tarsi fuscous. Wings, including the costa, stigma, and nervures, bright luteous, except for a blackish spot, longer than wide and of equal width, behind the parastigma, the body and legs densely covered with a short pale pubescence. $ . Length 10 mm. Wings long, narrow ; the areolet 4-angled, narrowed in front ; the lower part of the second transverse cubital nervure narrowed and sloped towards the base of the cellule. Malar space a little shorter than the eyes. Parapsidal furrows distinct, but neither wide nor deep. Basal slope of scutellum broadly margined above ; behind it are two rows of distinct punctures, the apex rounded, margined by a stout keel. Post-scutellum wider than long, of equal width ; the lateral keels stout ; a stout keel runs from the middle of the apical one. On the base of the metanotum, in the centre, are three arefe,
