Aréole t 4-angled, narrowed in front, nervellus interstitial, the disco- 

 cubital nervure broken by a minute stump. Abdomen long, narrow, 

 about 3 times longer than the thorax; the l st segment smooth 

 through out, the 2' 1 ' 1 and 3 ri1 finely,closely punctured, the gastracoeli 

 large, deep, oblique ; there are 8 segments, the penultimate as 

 long as the preceeding; the ventral keel extends to the apex of the 

 4 fh segment. Legs longish, slender, as are also antennse. Clypeus 

 not separated from the face, its apex broadly rounded. Labrum 

 hidden. Upper tooth of mandibles much longer than lower and 

 separated distinctly from it. Eyes large, malar space distinct. 

 Temples only very slightly developed. Belongs to the Plàiyuri; and 

 cornes nearest to Platylabus from which itdiffers in the longer and 

 more slenderly built abdomen, in the more slender and longer 

 antenna?, in the more prominently raised scutellum and, more par 

 ticularly, longish steep, margined apical slope, and in the longer, 

 more slender legs. The type of the genus is a longer, more slen- 

 derly built itisect than any of the Platywi I hâve seen, the ovipo- 

 sitor too, being longer; the metanotal arese are less clearly defined 

 them usual in the Iclineunionini. 



Talimeda pallidiceps sp. n. — Luteous, the face, clypeus, 

 labrum, mandibles and the lower half of the outer orbits pallid 

 yellow; the basai 5 joints of the antennse rufous, the rest black, 

 vvith a white band of 8 joints shortly beyond the middle; the apical 

 2 of the fore, 3 of the middle and 4 joints of the hind tarsi black; 

 wings hyaline, the stigma testaceous, the nervures black; the 

 areolet 5-angled, narrowed in front, the récurrent nervure received 

 shortly behind the middle; the nervellus interstitial, the disco- 

 cubital nervure broken by a minute stump. Base of metanotum in 

 the middle irregularly rugosely punctured, the sides coarsely 

 transversely striated, the apical slope more coarsely transversely 

 striated; the sides somewhat strongly, the top in the middle more 

 weakly keeled; there are no other keels and consequently no arere. 

 Propleurœ and upper half of the apex of mesopleurae smooth, the 

 rest finely, closely punctured, more strongly b.elow than above ; 

 the metapleurse are much more coarsely punctured ail over. l st ab- 

 dominal segment smooth and shilling ; the second distinctly, the 

 3 r,i and 4 th less strongly punctured, the apical smooth; the gastra- 

 coeli oblique, clearly defined, of equal width, aciculated in the mid- 

 dle. The apex of the ovipositor is black. Ç. 



Length 17 mill.
