Genus PSEUDEUGALTA, Ashm. 



Pteudeugalta, Ashmead, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xxiii, 1900, p. 55. 

 Xaliena, Cameron, Manch. Mem. 1900, p. 101. 



GENOTYPE, Eugalta spinosa, Cam. 



Eyes large and not apically convergent nor internally emar- 

 giuate, upper orbits margined, nearly reaching base of the large 

 apically truncate and unidentate mandibles ; clypeus not separated 

 from face ; temples neither flat nor oblique ; ocelli large and 

 prominent. Prothorax not produced into a neck ; mesonotum 

 centrally reticulate at the apex, with the notauli deeply impressed ; 

 metathorax elongate and gradually rounded at the apex, irregularly 

 trans-striate, with no areoe, but with a shallow central furrow on 

 the basal three-fourths; spiracles subcentral, small, oval or almost 

 circular. Abdomen smooth, with the segments not much broader 

 than long ; basal longer than second segment, gradually explanate 

 towards its apex ; gastrocoeli of the second distinct ; terebra 

 elongate, longer than half the body, emitted from a ventral fold. 

 Legs elongate and slender, with the coxae large and elongate ; 

 hind tarsi nearly as long as their tibiae, large, elongate, with their 

 claws curved and more slender than the shorter and stout central 

 lobes, which are wanting on the external hind claw only. Wings 

 with an areolet ; median nervure of hind wings entire to base. 



Range. India, Philippine Islands. 



This genus was split off by Ashmead from Eur/alta for the re- 

 ception of those species of the latter with the alar areolet entire, 

 and no other points of distinction are claimed for it.* 



Table of Species. 



1 (4) Thorax partly red ; scutellum and hind 



femora black. 



2 (3) Head posteriorly broad ; areolet hardly 



petiolate spinosa, Cam., p. 67. 



3 (2) Head posteriorly narrow ; areolet 



petiolate moloch, sp. n., p. 68. 



4 (1) Thorax not red-marked; scutellum 



pale ; hind femora mainly fulvous. 

 "> (6) Mesonotum glabrous ; hind tibiae 



apically black nigricollis, Cam., p. 69. 



G (o) Mesonotum punctate ; hind tibiae 



apicnlly white punctulata, Cam., p. 69. 



* To this genus belongs the Philippine Pimpla furcifcra, Bingham (Ann. 

 Xat. Hist, xvi, 1895, p. 445), as I am enabled to state from an examination of 

 the typical <$ in the British Museum. It is quite distinct from Euxoides, 

 Cresson (Trans. Amer. Eut. Soc. 1870, p. 167, = Calliclisis, Forst). and may 

 constitute the alternate sex otPseudeugaltapiinctulata, Cam., though the central 

 segments and scutellum are subglabrous. the mesonptum much more sparsely 

 punctate and the hind femora are discally rayed with bkck, but without any 

 black at the apex.
