432 ICHXEUMOXID.E. 



Areolet subcorapleto and sessile, its outer iiervure weak and 

 obsolete in its lower halt", but with the external cubital distinctly 

 recurved beyond the second recurrent nervure ; stigma distinct 

 though narrow ; second recurrent emitted far beyond the tirst 

 submarginal nervure ; anal nervure emitted from but slightly 

 above centre of first recurrent, which is distinctly before centre of 

 first cubital cell ; basal nervure continuous through the median ; 

 internal cubital somewhat strongly curved ; nervellus strong, 

 straight and not intercepted ; neuration of hind wings strong to- 

 apex, with the basal abscissa of the radial as long as the recurrent 

 nervure. 



Range. Ceylon. 



In the conformation of the abdomen and, except the somewhat 

 distinct areolet, of the wing, this genus is essentially Anomaloid ; 

 but the entirely glabrous mesonotum and scutellum, its general 

 paucity of sculpture and subentire areolet, the apically uuproduced 

 nietatliorax, and subnormal hind tarsi, appear to preclude it there- 

 from ; it is even less conformable to the Campoplegides or Pimplid 

 TiiYMAEiBES, though in some respects allied to Diade(/ma, Mori. 

 In default of a better position and a knowledge of the 2 » I leave 

 it provisionally among the Anomalides, where it is most closely 

 allied to Ar/ri/jwu, though the calcarial length is fully double the 

 apical tibial breadth.
