Genus NOTANISOMORPHA Ashmead. 



This genus appears to be very close to Sympiesus, but in addition 

 to the characters given by Doctor Ashmead also differs in having 

 the antennae not or but slightly compressed and in havmg the pro- 

 podeal spiracles situated well caudad of the base of the propodeum 

 (in Sympiesus they are at the base of the propodeum) . 



Since Doctor Ashmead never published an extended description 

 of the type-species of this genus, the following is given, drawn up 

 from the type-specimen.
