Manchester Memoirs, Vol. xliv. (1900), No. 15. 97 



Pinipla. Abdomen smooth, shinini;, almost impuiictatc; 

 the petiole depressed at the base above ; tubcrculate 

 behind the middle, where the spiracles are ; the second, 

 third, and fourth segments with oblique depressions at the 

 sides. The eyes are slightly contracted on the inner side 

 above and margined. 



This genus comes near to Clirysopimpla., not only in 

 the presence of the yellowish colour, but in the form of the 

 areolet and in the curved apex of the radius : but differs 

 from it in the face not being so elongated; in the much 

 shorter clypeus, which is obliquely depressed at the apex ; 

 in the eyes being more distant from the base of the 

 mandibles ; in the spiracles being placed more behind the 

 middle of the petiole ; in the hinder tarsi being more 

 slender and longer compared with the tibiae ; and in there 

 being no cloud at the apex of the fore wings.
