Neomphaloides new genus 



Female — Head normal, nearly round from direct cephalic as- 

 pect, the antenn£e inserted near its middle, distinctly above an im- 

 aginary line drawn between the ventral ends of the eyes, eleven- 

 jointed-scape, pedicel, three narrow ring-joints, three funicle 

 joints and a three- jointed club, the terminal joint ending in a 

 spur. Funicle joints elongate, the proximal one nearly as long as 

 the club ; pedicel very long, subequal to the distal funicle joint. 

 Fore wings ample, the marginal and submarginal veins long, the 

 former about a fourth longer than the latter ; postmarginal vein 

 absent ; stigma vein with a slender neck. Both wings normally 

 ciliate, the marginal cilia short. Tarsi four- jointed, the tibial 

 spurs single. Both mandibles tridentate. Parapsidal furrows 

 complete. Scutellum with four longitudinal grooved lines, the 

 lateral ones finer ; metathoraeic spiracle large, oval. Propodeum 

 with two, short median carinae, parallel but distad diverging sud- 

 denly and running along the distal margin of the segment. Abdo- 

 men sessile, longer than the head and thorax combined, produced 

 ventrad near base, conic-ovate, produced distad into a moder- 

 ately long stylus from beneath which slightly projects the ovipos- 

 itor enclosed by its valves. Mesoscutum long, with a distinct 

 median groove. Sculpture fine reticulation over the head, thorax 

 and abdomen, not varying noticeably as regards density. Body 

 metallic. Ocelli distant from the eyes. Genal sulcus distinct. 



Male — Not known. 



A genus unique for the tribe because of the three ring-joints of 

 the antennae, the longitudinal grooves on the thorax and the pro-
