Genus—CH(ETOSPILA. 
Caput quadratum antice trilobatum ; mandibule subtrigone apice obliquo 4-dentato (pl. XXV, fig. 10a) ; 
maxill lobo apicali membranaceo rotundato setoso, palpis maxillaribus 4-articulatis articulis primo et tertio 
brevibus (fig. 104); mentum oblongo-ovale ; labium oblongum in medio paullo constrictum apice rotundato, 
palpis labialibus biarticulatis articulis wqualibus (fig. 10) ; antenne 8-articulate (absque articulis annuliformibus) 
articulis 2-7 longitudine fere zqualibus at sensim erassioribus, ultimo majori longo-ovali (fig. 10 d) ; collare semi- 
ovale capite angustius ; mesonoti scutum breve, seutellum magnum; pedunculus abdominalis brevis ; abdomen 
magnum ovale; alz ample, setis longis marginate, vena subcostali trientem cost vix attingente, apice ejus 
in fasciculum setarum erectarum terminato, ramo stigmaticali minuto; pedes graciles. 
The remarkable fascicles of short erect bristles at the junction of the subcostal vein with the costa is quite 
peculiar, and, so far as I have observed, does not occur in any other insect. The insect is closely allied to 
Cerocephala, from which it differs in the short peduncle to the abdomen and the 8-jointed antennz, these organs 
in Cerocephala being distinctly 10-jointed, the eighth and ninth being equal in size to the two preceding 
joints.

palpis labialibus 2-articulatis (fig. 11¢); thorax oblongus capite longior et angustior; collare crateriforme,

This genus is most nearly allied to Cerocephala and Cheetospila. It is also related to Spalangia,
