Genus NEOCLADIA Perkins. 
Head transverse, menisciform, inflexed, bearing coarse shallow punctures, the space 
between the eyes wide, the ocelli in a triangle much widest at base, the posterior ones being 
rather near to eye margins, only about half as far from these as from the anterior ocellus, 
Maxillary palpi long, 4-jointed, the first and third subequal, the second much longer than either 
of these, the fourth curved and very elongate, much longer than second and clothed with 
long hairs. Mandibles broad and apparently simply pointed in one aspect but in others seem 
to have three microscopic teeth at apex. Antenne in front view of head inserted well below 
the middle; those of the female simple, the scape long and slender, the pedicel rather shorter 
than the first of the six funicle joints, which when seen at their widest gradually decrease in 
length and increase in width to the sixth, which is transverse, the club oval, rather longer than 
the two preceding joints; the scrobes short and rather indefinite. Propodeum widely rounded 
in front; mesonotum about as long as the axille (which meet inwardly) and the scutellum, 
the latter much deflexed apically. Wings with a pattern in the female (but uniformly clear 
in the male), stigmal vein long, marginal very short, postmarginal longish in the female and 
rather longer still in the male. Middle tibiae armed at the apex with denticles as also are the
