the liind wini^s have a stigma; their radius and cubitus 

 are distinct; the probrachial nervure is received near the 

 middle of the cellule ; the abdomen is flat above ; its apical 

 half wider than the basal] 



Delmira, gc)i. nov. 



Clypcus flat, its apex transverse. Head lari^e, cubital ; 

 the occiput not margined ; behind the e}'es it is largely 

 developed. Mesonotum with two short furrows at the 

 base, where the part between them is raised. Wings with 

 three cubital cellules ; the transverse probrachial nervure 

 is received behind the middle of the cellule and distant 

 from the transverse prrebrachial ; the anal nervure not 

 interstitial, and with a distinct upward curve at the base. 

 In the hind wings the radius and the cubitus are com- 

 plete ; the probrachial nervures — longitudinal and trans- 

 verse — are obsolete, unless the former be represented by 

 a small upward turned nervure at the base of the wing, 

 which unites with the cubitus, thus forming a small, 

 closed cellule ; the radius issues from the praebrachial 

 below the subcostal which is thickened at the apex, this 

 thickened part being incised in the middle above. 

 Abdomen short ; the securiform articulation obsolete ; 

 the second segment with a deep oblique lateral, and a 

 small transverse depression ; hypopygium cultriform. 



This genus has the form and appearance of Bracon, 

 from which it differs in the form of the clypeus, which is 

 flat and not obliquely bent inwards, so that there is 

 not a semicircular or round space formed by it and the 

 mandibles. It is therefore doubtful if it could be included 

 in the Cyclostouii with which it agrees in other respects ; 

 it differs from Bracon further in the anal nervure not 

 being interstitial ; the legs are more densely pilose and 

 the hair is lonszer than in that genus.
