not nnieh broader in front than posteriorly : pro-mesonotal suture^ 

 obsolete, meso-nietanotal suture deeply marked, metauotum trun- 

 cate, posteriorly unarmed, the basal portion passing into the ajiical 

 portion by a rounded curve : legs in the typical species short, in 

 others long and slender. Pedicel : the 1st node shortly petiolate 

 anteriorly, often markedly higher than the 2nd node; abdomen 

 oval, truncate or emarginate anteriorly. 



"i . Head and pedicel as in the ^ , the thorax narro\\- but more 

 massive, the mesonotum long and slightly convex, slightly gibbous 

 in front, overhanging the pronotum ; scutellum comparatively 

 large ; metanotum roundly curved posteriorly, the sides forming- 

 two rounded obtuse ridges \\\t\\ the space between them con- 

 cave, slightly flat. Abdomen very massive, somewhat cylindrical. 

 AVings : the fore wing with one cubital cell. 



d . In the Indian species the head above the ocelli is remark- 

 ably flat and broad, the eyes very lai'ge, the mandibles powerful 

 and toothed; the clypeus broad and strongly convex ; antenn.-c 

 filiform, I3-jointed. Thorax and wings much as in the $ , the 

 metanotum narrower, the mesonotum without any impressed lines. 

 Pedicel much more massive : tlie nodes larger, the petiole of the 1st 

 node very thick, gradually decreasing in size uj) to its attat-hmenl 

 to the thorax ; abdomen more massive, but truncate or emarginate
