Discal cell present, its proximal end 

 pointed. Antennal scape very short, 

 the joints almost annular ; flagellum of 

 fifteen very elongate joints. The 7th 

 longitudinal vein less than half the 

 length of the 6th, turning sharply into 



the'margin at its tip PARACLADUKA, Brim. 



BB. The 1st longitudinal vein ends (turning 

 sharply up to the costa) just beyond the 

 tip of the auxiliary vein and some dis- 

 tance from the tip of the anterior 

 branch of the 2nd vein, also a con- 

 siderable distance from the wing-tip. 

 Marginal cross-vein at the tip of the 

 1st longitudinal vein. Discal cell 

 absent, coalescent with the 2nd posterior 

 cell, the proximal end of which is 

 pointed. Antennal scape normal (long) , 

 flagellum of thirteen oval joints. The 

 7th longitudinal vein normal, as in

tf $ . Head : frons broad, more than one-third the width of 

 the he'ad, vertex convex, both brownish yellow ; back of head 

 concolorous, with long stiff brown hairs. Proboscis brownish 

 yellow, palpi a little darker. Antennal scape brownish yellow ; 

 1st scapal joint moderately long and stout, subcylindrical, 2nd 

 joint shorter and broader ; flagellum of fourteen oval joints, 

 gradually diminishing in breadth but increasing in length as the 

 tip of the antennae is reached ; with minute whitish pubescence, 

 each joint having a single verticel of apparently three or four 

 long hairs. Thorax elongate and rather convex above, produced 

 forward into a distinct, but short, stout neck. Brownish yellow, 

 shining, unmarked ; some black hairs on the posterior part of 

 dorsum above the wings. Scutellum and metanotum concolorous, 

 the former with a few hairs ; sides of thorax brownish yellow. 

 Abdomen of male yellowish brown, with sparse pale yellow hairs ; 

 in female dark brown on dorsum, yellowish on belly. Genitalia 

 of male brownish yellow (not easily seen, as the claspers in the 

 single male are tightly closed), apparently consisting of the 

 normal pair of claspers, of which only the thick subconical basal 

 joint can be seen. In the female the ovipositor is brownish 

 yellow, rather long, conically produced at the base, to which are 

 attached two pairs of nearly straight, elongate valves, the lower 

 pair being much shorter and twisted round somewhat to the side. 

 Legs uniformly brownish yellow, slightly darker towards the tips 

 of the tarsi. Wings pale yellowish grey, moderately iridescent,
