HYMENOPTERA, 



Div. II. ACULEATA. 



Tribe 3. DIPLOPTERA. 



Group 1 . Solitary Wasps. 



Fam. 1. MASARID.E. 



This family contains some very anomalous species of Wasps, 

 many of them ditFering in various characters from the true 

 VespidcB, but in one important characteristic they correspond 

 with the latter family, — the prothorax is always prolonged back- 

 wards to the base of the wings. The anterior pair of wings have 

 only two submarginal cells. The genus Paragia differs from the 

 rest in not having the wings folded when in repose, and in some 

 of the species having the eyes ovate, or but very sliglitly emar- 

 ginate.
