NEABROLEPOIDEUS, new genus 



Female. — In my table to the Australian Ectromini runs to 

 Habrolepoidea Howard but diflFers in having the marginal vein 

 linear, five times the length of the short stigmal, the post- 

 marginal distinct but very short. Also, the body is more ro- 

 bust, the ovipositor distinctly extruded for nearly a half the 

 length of the depressed abdomen, the flagellum is not clavate 

 as in the named genus but filiform, the club wider than the 

 funicle ; also the frons is narrow (moderate in the other) 

 subprominent, the vertex not flat, the face inflexed. Flagel- 

 lum short and clavate in the named genus, here the funicle 

 joints all longer than wide. Mandibles with the broadly trun-
