BRACONIDAE
By

CHIHISA WATANABE
(With 6 Textfigures)

The species of Braconidae in SAUTER'S Formosa-collection have been studied

by G. ENDERLEIN 1) and C. W ATANABE. 2) In the present paper is given a list
of Bracom{fae as represented in SAUTER'S Formosa-collection, sent to the writer
for examination from the Deutsches Entomologisches Institut in Berlin-Dahlem;
in the material there are 23 species including I I new ones which ought to be
added to the Braconid-fauna of Formosa.
All holotypes and all allotypes are deposited in the Deutsches Entomolog-
isches Institut, and some of the other specimens which are not single are re-
tained for the Entomological Institut of the Hokkaido Imperial University.
The writer wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Professor Emeritus
S. MATSUMURA and Assistant Professor T. UCHIDA for their kind direction. By
courtesy of Mr. J. SONAN the writer was so fortunate as to have been able to
see some of his types of CheloJZZts and Chdonella species described from Formosa.
In this occasion the writer wishes to express his gratitude to Mr. J. SONAN for
his co-operation.

referred to Cystomastax SZEPLlGETI(ll, but having received its femJ.le, the writer has become convinced
that it ought b~ transferred to thi s genu s.

the following points:
I) Ground' colour yellowish brown, lighter than that of the male.
2) Maxillary palpi long and slender, the 2nd joint as long as the 3rd and 4th united, some-
what flattened, the 3rd a little longer than a half of the 4th, which is a little shorter than the sth.
