the apical abscissa long, roundly curved upwards ; the recurrent 

 nervure received near in the apex of the 1st cubital cellule ; the 

 transverse median near the base of the discoidal. Stigma large. 

 The radius and cubitus in the hind wings extend to the apex, the 

 transverse discoidal nervure is interstitial, the radial cellule divided 

 in two by an oblique nerve behind the middle ; the median 

 discoidal absent ; there is an axillary cellule. Middle lobe of 

 mesonotum clearly separated, not reaching to the scutellum ; 

 parapsidal furrows deep. Post-scutellum depressed ; bounded 

 behind by a curved furrow. Median segment rugose ; there is a 

 large area in its centre, wide in the middle, gradually narrowed to 

 the base and apex ; this is bounded by 2 large areas. Abdomen 

 short, broad, bluntly broadly rounded at the apex ; sheaths of 

 ovipositor short, broad. Legs stout, short ; claws small, simple ; 

 calcaria fully half the length of metatarsus. Antennae stout, 

 shorter than the body. The temples are broad, roundly dilated, 

 projecting beyond the eyes ; the pterostigma large, the radius 

 dilated at its base. There are 7 abdominal segments. Radial 

 cellule long and narrow, extending to the apex of the wing ; the 

 radius originates shortly beyond the middle of the stigma. Second 

 cubital cellule large, as wide at the base as at the apex. There is a 

 large curved furrow on the lower apical half of the mesopleurse, 

 which is wide at the base, becoming gradually narrowed to the 

 apex. The systematic position of this genus is not very clear. 

 The shape of the mouth removes it from the large division of the 

 Cyclostomi. Of the PolymorpM it reminds one of the Oi)Midce. 

 It differs from all known Braconidffi in having 2 radial cellules in 

 the hind wingp, a character which is sufficient to make it the type 

 of a new tribe. That character with the hairy eyes, tuberculated 

 clypeus and roundly curved upwards radius make it an easily 

 recognised genus. 



Schonlandella nigromaculata, sp. nov. 



Rufo-luteous ; the antennas, vertex, front, except near the 

 eyes, the middle Lobe of mesonotum except near the apex, the 

 greater part of the lateral lobes, base of scutellum, the base of 

 metanotum, a large mark on the apex of mesopleurae, dilated for- 

 wards at the base below, and backwards at the apex (but to a less 

 extent compared with the base), the base of metapleurse, sternum, 

 apex of abdomen above, coxae, trochanters and 4 hinder tarsi, 

 black ; wings fuscous, the stigma and nervures black. Female.
