Hymenopterous genus Scleroderma. 129 
I do not feel sufficiently convinced of its specific 
distinction. The median vein is indistinct, but it throws 
out a deflexed, although indistinct branch at its 
extremity into the disc of the wing, as in Scleroderma. 
The antenne are very slender. 
Plate VI., fig. 7, represents the specimen with its 
details, which differ considerably from those of Selero- 
derma, the mandibles (fig. 7 a) having a sharp terminal 
tooth and three obtuse ones below the apex; the maxille 
(fig. 7b) have two large apical lobes and very short 
4-jointed maxillary palpi, and the labium (fig. 7c) sub- 
ovate with very minute 2-jointed labial palpi. 
The discovery of the legitimate females of this species 
will probably render its removal from the genus 
Cephalonomia necessary.

This insect, of which the only known specimen is 
contained in the Berlin Museum, is a male so entirely 
resembling C. fuscicornis, that the same observations on 
its general position will be also applicable.

The slender antenne of this insect, with its agile 
form, induced me to regard it as a male, which suppo- 
sition has been confirmed by the dissection of one of 
Sir §. 8. Saunders’s specimens, kindly submitted to me
