with a narrow median line from this to the base of the scutellum. 
Scape above at tip shghtly, tips of caudal tibia, bases of caudal 
femora and most of middle femora nearly to tip, dark, sub- 
metallic. Rest of legs yellow brown except the front femur 
nearly to tip, which is dark, submetallic. Funicle 1. sub- 
quadrate, the rest wider and wider than long. Club 3 jointed, 
obliquely truncate from near base of joint 2. Venation pale 
yellow, the wings hyaline, the marginal and postmarginal 
veins punctiform, the stigmal long. Head lenticular. Man- 
dibles tridentate, yet like those of Anagyrus, except that the 
dorso-lateral apex of the truncate second tooth is subacute 
and projects beyond the rest; and a sinus is between the two 
teeth at base. Cheeks not so long as the eyes. Scape slightly 
foliaceous at tip. Funicle 6 distinctly wider than long, the 
pedicel longer than any funicle joint. Hind tibial spurs double, 
very unequal. Otherwise agrees with the description of 
peculiarts. 
The male is about as in the female, but the antenne are all 
yellow-brown, filiform, the club solid, the funicle joints hairy 
and much longer than the pedicel, which is barely longer than 
thick, each joint about half longer than thick and excised 
toward tip, alittle. Club a little longer than the scape.

Lypes: 7 Catalogue No. 19341, U.S. -N..M., a male and

12. Taneostigmine Genera. 
Taneostigmodes differs notably from Taneostigma in that 
the stigmal vein is normal, 1. e., not straight and nearly per- 
pendicular. Hutrichosoma has a much shorter marginal vein 
and the parapsidal furrows do not meet at all distad, yet at 
the scutellum not so much separated as usual. Also the 
postmarginal vein is absent. The scape is slender, the antennz 
cylindrical, 13-jointed with one ring-joint, the club 3-jointed. 
The antenne in the other two genera bear two ring-joints 
and are 13-jointed. Yaneostigmodes occurs in Australia but 
other Australian species in the group represent a half dozen 
peculiar genera.
