204 ICHXEUMOMB.T:. 



longitudinal fascia ; metapleurae flavous, with an oblique black line 

 to the spiracles. Scittelhun except apically, and postscutelluin, 

 flavous. Abdomen black ; basal segment glabrous and nitidulous, 

 with a broad central pale band, terminating before the apex in a 

 broad semicircle ; remaining segments closely punctate, with the 

 anus brunneous; second to fourth segments distinctly and obliquely 

 impressed, the former also with its basal angles broadly impressed, 

 beyond which it is flavous. Legs fulvous ; coxae flavous, with the 

 hind ones broadly in front and more narrowly behind contiguously 

 black-marked. IVinys hyaline, with an apical violaceous mark, 

 extending from the costa (metacarpus) to about the same distance 

 below the cubital (? radial) nervure, the external half of which is 

 curved ; areolet oblique aud shortly petiolate. 



Length 14 millim.

Type. Location unknown. 



It is really impossible to tell from the above description, taken 

 direct from that of Cameron (loc. cit.), to what position to assign 

 this species, since the bare structural features indicated are the 

 smooth and shining head and basal segment, the antenna) are 

 vaguely nearly as long as the body, the remainder of the abdomen 

 closely punctate and transversely impressed with the basal angles 

 of the second segment obliquely incised, the areolet oblique and 

 subpetiolate, and the (?) cubital nervure apically sinuate. The 

 profusely-described coloration possibly allies it to this genus. A 

 specimen in the Britisli Museum, labelled type bv its author, bears 

 no resemblance to the description and is a Xanihopimpla.

GENOTYPE, M. niyromaculatits, Cam. 



Eyes large and parallel ; cheeks distinct ; clypeus obliquely 

 depressed apically, transverse ; labrum large and rounded; temples 

 roundly narrowed. Antennae longer than body, densely covered 

 with stiff, erect hairs. Metanotum coarsely, irregularly and 

 transversely striate, except at its base, where it is punctate, and 

 at its apex, where it is subglabrous ; metapleural carinae narrow 

 and distinct. Abdomen with basal segment smooth, shining and 

 of equal width throughout. Legs elongate, with the tarsal claws 

 simple. Areolet large, broad, not constricted anteriorly, penta- 

 gonal, emitting the recurrent nervure in its centre ; the transverse 

 median nervure received behind the transverse basal ; first re- 

 current of hind wings intercepted shortly below its centre ; inner 

 cubital of front ones entire.

Cameron remarks (I c.) that the areolet is as in the CBYPTINJE 

 rather than the PIMPLIN.E, and one must consequently suppose 

 that he inserted this genus in its present position on the con-
