 post marginal longer, long, twice the length of the stigmal and as long (or nearly) as thc' 

 marginal. Also the abdomen is less flattened, produced beneath. The scutellum has its apical 

 nmrgin impressed, the postscutellum glaln-ous, with a pair of narrow median earinae and as 

 long as the subtransverse. nonearinated propodeum. In Kucrelocyhomyia. there is a punctate 

 ernss-sutnre a little before the apex of scutellnm. the mesoiiostscutellum is sculptured like the 

 srntellnm ami is large, ivhile the propodeum ])ro])er bears a median carina and is separated 

 fiom the sliiirter. glabious. transverse metatlnn-ax by a foveate suture. Antenna; 12-jointe.l 

 ■with one distinct ring-joint, the club 2-jointcd, the tlagellnm not clavate but slender, sub-

 .if the face. Mandibles normal, bidentate but the broad second tooth has its lateral angle 

 .■acute and lu-ojected. Suhmarginal vein distinctly broken. .AxilUe widely separated. Both
