jointed clavus. The anellus is very small in all these 
minute Chalcids, and can often be very difficult to see 
when the specimens are prepaired in canada-balsam, still 
more so if the specimens are mounted on card. As a 
matter of fact, amongst the Danish species there are at 
any rate three, which correspond to Walkers description 
of the genus, and there is no doubt whatever that the 
genus should be retained, and that it should be retained 
just as Walker has described it. 
The description of the genus is as follows: 
Head short, almost quadrate, broader than thorax. 
Eyes small. Thorax short, half the length of the abdo- 
men. Abdomen stout, conic. The segments of the ab- 
domen each showing a basal, dark chitinised band from 
which emerges numerous dark chitinised longitudinal 
lines backwards through the whole distal hyaline part of 
the segment. Antenne 7 jointed: scapus, pedicellus, 
anellus, 1 funiculus, 3 jointed clavus. Scapus as long as 
pedicellus + anellus + funiculus and as long as clavus. 
Fore-wings stout and broad, longer than the abdomen, 
with long fringe. Discal cilia mostly arranged in regular 
rows. Marginal vein very long, radius short, stigma at 
the middle of the wing. Hind wings knifeshaped with 
a single row of discal cilia. Hind fringe very long. Ovi- 
positor half as long as the whole body, very powerful, 
almost not protruding behind the apex of abdomen. Penis 
short, not to be seen from above.
