Jurine; radius with proximal abscissa straight, a trifle longer 
than the distal abscissa which is slightly curved, almost reach- 
ing the wing margin; submedian cell nearly as long as the 
median, the nervulus oblique; brachius short, well pigmented 
basally; basal vein shorter than the first abscissa of the radius, 
abruptly angulate before it attains the subcosta; prostigma 
absent, parastigma half-elliptical, shorter than the basal ner- 
vure; hind wings without a cell; legs moderately long; metatar- 
sus of hind legs longer than the fourth joint which is longer than 
2 and 38 united; claws of chela strongly curved, short, the inner 
one with a broad blunt tooth medially, and the outer one with 
a rather long sharp tooth below at distal third; otherwise the 
claws are unarmed; claws of middle and hind legs sharp, with- 
out dentition. 
This genus comes closest to Anteon. It differs principally 
in its pedicellated abdomen and in the peculiar structure of the 
. chelee which are devoid of bristles and lamelle. The venation 
also offers minor differences. 
The genotype is from the Philippine Islands and may be known 
under the name: 
Neoanteon rubrica sp. nov. 
Female.—Length, 3 millimeters. En- 
tire body shining, without strong sculp- 
ture, finely and sparsely pubescent; face 
with scattered punctures, with a median 
carina extending from the anterior 
ocellus to the clypeus; subconvex, 
rounded anteriorly; scape short, nearly 
as long as joints 3 and 4 united; joint 
2 a little shorter than 3; joints 3 to 6 
subequal, a little longer but no wider 
than joints 7 to 9; joint 10 longer, 
broadly rounded apically; mesonotum

deum areolated as shown in fig. 2; abdo- 
SS alain aaa men as long as the head and thorax 
nov. ; a, anterior tarsus, lateral united, depressed, mostly without pubes- 
come >, propodeum, dorsal cence; petiole slender, seven times as 
: long as wide, as long as the propodeum ; 
second tergite scalelike, longer than the petiole, broadly rounded 
apically, its sides extending around the base of the petiole in 
a wide subhyaline plate; third segment as long as all the follow-
