Genus PLEUROTROPIS Foerster. 



The species described from Japan by Ashmead in the genus 

 Derostenus have lateral carinae on the metathorax and a distinct 

 ring-joint to the antennae, so that they are properly to be referred to 

 the genus Pleurotropis. 



The following table will separate the females of the species from 

 Japan which have 3 joints in the funicle; P. atamiensis Ashmead has 

 4 joints in the funicle and is probably an undescribed genus.
