It is convenient, if not entirely natural, to place the following 

 A-ery remarkable insect in a genus apart from Campoplex, on 

 account primarily of the peculiar conformation of the alar areolet 

 and the tibial spiues ; but the divergence from that genus is so 

 small, though the facies is very distinct, that it is only necessary 

 to say tliat the present genus differs therefrom in having the 

 clypeus somewhat distinctly discrete ; the third abdominal seg- 

 ment not at all laterally margined ; the scutellum snbglabrous ; 

 the tibial spines strongly elongate ; the nervellus straight through- 

 out, not geniculate, intercepted, or curved ; the apical abscissa of 

 the radius in the front wings straight, and the areolet miinite, 

 oblique, and subobsolete, being less than half the length of its 

 petiole. Colour mainly llavous. 

 Range. Sikkim. 



This genus appears to bear much the relationship to Campoplcv 

 that XanOiopimpJa does to Pimpla.
