 twice its length : abdomen much compressed, concave along the back 

 towards the base, a little longer than the thorax, like that of the male 

 as far as regards the relative size of the segments.

The thorax of this species is more convex than that of P. Adamas. 



11. Eupelmus Amphitus, fem. Viridis, micans, antennis nigris, ovi'

From Bombay. In the collection of the Rev. F. W. Hope. 



Eupelmus with Urocryptus, Cheiloneurus, Metapelma, Prionopelma, 

 Caloseter and Stenocera forms the family Eupelmid<E, to which Ly- 

 cisca, Epistenia, Trigonoderus, Notanisus and Cleonymus are nearly 

 allied. Platynocheilus and Merostenus may be included in the same 

 group -with the latter genera. 



12. Cerchysius Vulso, fem. Viridis, capite cupreo, abdomine an- 

 tennisque nigris , pedibus fiavis viridi cinctis, alis limpidis. (Corp.
