one marginal cell, the extremity of which is not detached from the 
margin of the ning, and four submarginal cells, the first a little 
longer than the second, which is oblong and receives the first re- 
current nervure,—the third much narrowed towards the marginal 
cell and receiving the second recurrent nervure,—the fourth 
reaching the extremity of the ming ; legs moderately long, the 
posterior ones disproportionately so; the posterior tbe 
slightly spinose ; the claws of all the legs small, but furnished 
with a large pulvillus. The aspomen oval; the hypopygium of 
the @ prolonged beyond the podex and contracted into a 
narrow obtuse canal, whence a tube is frequently exserted, 
the extremity of which is soft and which is probably the 
Ovipositor.

+4; This genus was established by Latreille in his 
“‘ Précis,” and adopted by Fabricius in his ‘‘ Systema 
Piezatorum,” who had previously arranged these insects in 
his genus Evania, to which they have so very slight a re- 
semblance. St. Fargeau considers them parasitic, the 
anterior legs being unfurnished with cilia, and he mentions 
having observed them entering backwards into the cells of 
the predatory fossores, which, he thinks, proves that their 
object was to deposit their eggs; they are generally found 
upon Umbelliferz.
