nervure ; anal nervure issuing from shortly below the middle ; 

 transverse cubital nervure in hind wings broken near the top. 

 Eyes incised on inner side, large, the malar space small. 

 Clypeus separated, wide, broadly bilobate at the apex. Occi- 

 put margined. Mandibles unequally bidentate. Parapsidal 

 furrows distinct, ending at the apical fourth, where they are 

 united by a semicircular broad furrow. Scutellum roundly 

 convex, the basal slope with a wide shallow furrow. Metano- 

 tum without keels : base with a large semicircular depression : 

 spiracles prominent, longish-oval, raised into tubercles, below 

 them is a large longish-oval tubercle ; the sides at the apex 

 project into a distinct triangular tooth. Abdominal basal 

 segment long, but not so long as the following two united ; 

 spiracles prominent, and united to the base of the segment by 

 a keel ; they are placed at the apex of the basal third ; second 

 and third segments longer than wide. Legs longish, slender, 

 hind coxae four times longer than wide ; there are two spurs 

 on middle tibiae : claws simple : basal joint of anterior tarsi 

 roundly incised. Antennas fully longer than the body, full 

 50-jointed [the apical joints are broken off J. 



A distinct and peculiar genus, of which unfortunately, at 

 present, only the niaie is known. It should be readily sepa- 

 rated from the described genera by the bilobate clypeus : by 

 the large, clearly separated U-shaped middle lobe of meso- 

 notum ; by the prominent metanotal and abdominal spiracles, 

 and by the sides of the nietanotum, at the apex, projecting 

 into triangvilar teeth. 



The only species known may prove to be of economic im- 

 portance, being a parasite of the destructive hive wax-moth, 

 Galleria niellonella L. 



Philogallekia sextubeuculata, sp.n. 



Black, shining : head and thorax densely pilose, the piibes- 

 cence on the head denser and longer than elsewhere : clypeus, 

 mandibles, to near the teeth, inner orbit, the line dilated on
