HYMENOPTERA. — PROCTOTRUPIDE. 167 
points of connection between the Encyrtides and Eulophides ; whilst 
Eupelmus and some allied genera, in like manner, connect the Ptero- 
malides and Encyrtides. 

The family PRocrotruripm* Stephens+ (Codrini Dalman; Psilotes 
Fallen ; Oxyuri Latreille) consists of an extensive assemblage of 
minute species, scarcely any of which exceed a quarter of an inch in 

length ; having the fore-wings either entirely destitute of (fig. 78. 10. 
fore-wing of Diapria), or with but very few, veins, the posterior pair 
being also veinless. The body is generally longer and more slender 
than in the Chalcidide (fig. 78. 1—7. Proctotrupes brevipennis Latr.

* As the genus Proctotrupes was proposed in the Précis des Caract. Génér. in 
1796, it must have priority over Jurine’s name Codrus.
