(13) MACREUPELMUS new genus. 

 (Type M. brasih'ensis.} 



Head transverse, about twice as wide as thick antero-posteriorly, a little 

 wider than the thorax viewed from in front, the frons a little wider than 

 long, with deep antennal furrows; eyes large, oval, pubescent, slightly 

 converging above but the vertex not very narrow; ocelli arranged in an 

 equilateral triangle; maxillary palpi 4-jointed ; labial palpi 3-jointed ; 

 mandibles bidentate, the inner tooth broad; antennae i3-jointed, inserted 

 above an imaginary line drawn from base of eyes, the scape slightlv 

 curved, clavate ; flagellum clavate, the club obliquely and strongly truncate 

 at apex above, pedicel shorter than the first joint of funicle, joints 1-3 of 

 funicle very slightly shortening but also thickening, but much longer 

 than thick, the first being four or more times longer than thick, funicle 

 joints 4-6 wider than long. 



Thorax as in Eupclimis, except the axillae are somewhat separate at 

 inner basal angle-; wings more or less clouded, the marginal vein very 

 long, as long as the submarginal or a little longer; the stigmal vein 

 oblique, not especially long and ending in a little uncus; postmarginal 

 vein very long; legs as in Etipelmus. 



Abdomen long, longer than head and thorax united, clavate, depressed, 

 rounded off at apex and ending in a prominent ovipositor, the dorsum fiat 

 with the apical margin of segments 1-4 incised or emarginate, the first
