Pedalma, gen. nov. 



Areolet irregular in shape, triangularly produced below; 

 the apical nervure faint ; stigma elongate. Apical tooth of 

 mandibles elongate. Metathoracic areae undefined ; the 

 areola twice longer than broad, its apical keel indistinct ; the 

 spiracles small, round. Abdomen twice the length of the 

 thorax; the petiole long, narrow, the apex slightly dilated, 

 curved ; the small round spiracles are placed near the apex, 

 behind the middle of postpetiole. Gastrocoeli shallow. 

 Ovijjositor short, hardly projecting. 



This genus cannot well be confounded with any of tlie 

 genera with circular metathoracic spiracles. The apex of the 

 cl} pens is rounded ; its sides at the top are widely and 

 deeply depressed ; the eyes are margined on the inner side; 

 the wings are short, reaching only to the apex of the third 

 abdominal segment ; the transverse basal nervure is inter- 

 stitial ; the base of the second abdominal segment is de- 

 pressed ; the apical nervures in the hind wings are indistinct, 

 almost obsolete. 



The long tricoloured abdomen and the short wings give 

 this insect a rather noteworthy appearance. 



Fedalma tricolor, sp. n. 



Black ; the petiole and basal half of the second abdominal 

 segment bright red ; the third and the apices of the apical 

 three segments are yellow ; the front legs testaceous, their 

 coxse and trochanters pale yellow, as are also the middle 

 trochanters and coxse; the hinder coxse rufous; the rest of 

 the hinder legs broken off. "\Mngs clear hyaline, the stigma 

 and nervures testaceous. ? .
