least tlirt'C long veins, the cross-vein is wanting in most forms, the 

 circumfili are absent. 



Genus MEUNIERIA Kieff. 1904, type M. succiui, new name proposed for the 

 Miastor dit succiii of Meunier.* 



An Amber form with quadriarticulate tarsi, the metatarsus being 

 longer than the second segment; three long veins; palpi quadri- 

 articulate. Location ])rovisional. 



Genus PAL^OSPANIOCERA Meun. 1901. 

 This name was proposed without indication of type for an amber 

 species having three simple, long veins, the third simple, the tarsi 

 quadriarticulate, the metatarsus longer than the second segment. An- 

 tennae with 13 segments; palpi triarticulate. Body ovoid, elongate, the 

 thorax slightly gibbous, the ovipositor with a conspicuous lobe. Ap- 

 parently related to Mcimicria Kieff. and Miastor Mein. 



Genus MIASTOR Mein. 1864, type M. mctraloas Mein. 

 Distinguished from the preceding by the biarticulate palpi. Eu- 

 rope, North America, South America, Australia. 



Genus NEOSTENOPTERA Meun. 1901, type Stcnoptcra kicfferi Meun. 



Wing very long, slender, with only one long vein and remarkable 

 liecause of the long fringes. Tarsi quadriarticulate, the metatarsus 

 longer than the second segment; palpi invisible. Apparently related 

 to Miastor Mein., though easily separated therefrom by alar characters. 



Genus HETEROPEZA Winn.t 1846, type H. pygmcra Winn. 

 Tarsi triarticulate, the metatarsus longer than the second; two 

 long veins; the antennal segments cylindric. Europe, Australia.

t Messrs. Kunstler and Chaine in Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des 

 Seances et Memoires de la Societe de Biologic, 1902, vol. 54, p. 535, give the 

 characters of a form reared from bananas as follows: Tarsi biarticulate, the 

 first segment longer than the second ; wings with two or three long veins, the 

 two first branched ; palpi (juadriarticulate. It was referred to the Heterope- 

 zinse, though no name was proposed and is presumably related to Heteropesa 

 Winn, and Monodicrami H. Lw.
