THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 15 
Descriptions of New Genera and Species of Parasites, 
belonging to the Families Proctotrupide and Chalci- 
dide, which attack Insects destructive to the Fig in 
India. By the late Francis WALKER, Esq. 
[Communicated by F. Surry, Esq.] 
Genus Psgupisa, n.. Walker. Fam. Dryinoip@? 
Body convex. Head and thorax very finely squamous. 
Head large, transverse, subquadrate, a little broader than the 
thorax; front perpendicular. Mandibles very short. Eyes 
large. Ocelli three, in a curved line on the vertex. Antennz 
pubescent, filiform, 12-jointed, shorter than the thorax ; first 
joint long, stout; second elongate-cyathiform; third and 
fourth extremely short; fifth and four following long, linear, 
equal; tenth, eleventh and twelfth forming a fusiform club, 
which is a little less than twice the length of the ninth. 
Prothorax large, quadrate. Mesothorax well developed; 
sutures of the parapsides distinct, converging hindward; 
scutellum with a slight longitudinal furrow. Metathorax 
large, tapering. Petiole slender, cylindrical, about two thirds 
of the length of the abdomen. Abdomen smooth, compressed, 
with four nearly equal segments; tip obtuse in the male, 
aculeiform in the female. Legs stout, setose; femora incras- 
sated; tibize curved; tarsi 5-jointed; claws moderately 
long. Fore wings moderately broad, with a setose subcostal 
vein proceeding from the base to a large stigma, which emits 
a short branch or cubitus. 
PSEUDIA SMICROIDES. 
Luteous, with some black marks, which vary in number, 
and occasionally are wholly wanting. Wings cinereous- 
hyaline; subcostal vein tawny; stigma black. Length of the 
body 1}—3 lines. One specimen, which is much larger than 
the other, has a ferruginous stigma. Thirty-six specimens. 
The number of specimens of this species indicate that it is 
especially an agent in caprification. It may deposit its eggs 
in some larve that feed within the fig, near the surface. It is 
very different from all genera hitherto described. 
Genus IsanisA, n., Walker. Fam. Eurytomip&. 
Body convex. Head and thorax very finely squamous. 
Head transverse, subquadrate, as broad as the thorax. Parts
