Genus XANTHOCAMPOPLEX, gen. nov. 

 GENOTYPE, X. orientalis, Mori. 



It is convenient, if not entirely natural, to place the following 

 very remarkable insect in a genus apart from Campoplex, on 

 account primarily of the peculiar conformation of the alar areolet 

 and the tibial spines ; but the divergence from that genus is so 

 small, though the facies is very distinct, that it is only necessary 

 to say that the present genus differs therefrom in having the 

 clypeus somewhat distinctly discrete ; the third abdominal seg- 

 ment not at all laterally margined ; the scutellum subglabrous ; 

 the tibial spines strongly elongate ; the nervellus straight through- 

 out, not geriiculate. intercepted, or curved ; the apical abscissa of 

 the radius in the front wings straight, and the areolet minute, 

 oblique, and subobsolete, being less than half the length of its 

 petiole. Colour mainly flavous. 



Range. Sikkim. 



This genus appears to bear much the relationship to Campoplex 

 that Xantlwpimpla does to Pimpta.
