Schizogyniidae Tragardh, 1950 



Figure 96 



Diagnosis: This family is simi- 

 lar to the Diplogyniidae but dif- 

 fers in that both lateral and anal 

 plates are fused with the ventral 

 plates. The lateral plates are not 

 fused in the midline as in the 

 Celaenopsidae, however, and the 

 sternal plate has a medial, cres- 

 centic ridge. Males are not known.

Genus: 



Schizogynium Tragardh, 1950 



Type. Schizogynium intermedium Tragardh, 1950 



Discussion: Tragardh 1950 considers the family to be intermediate 

 between the Euzerconidae and the Diplogyniidae. Like the other mem- 

 bers of the Celaenopsina species of this family are parasitic on beetles. 

 The two known species are from Africa.

The females in this group are easily recognized because they have 

 a median plate in addition to or in place of an epigynial plate. The
