420 On a neio FamVy of Ihpnenoptera. 



Head, eyes bare, widely apart (separated by f of the 

 breadili when seen from above), ocellar triangle large, each 

 ocellus with on its outer aspect a short sinning crescentic 

 sulcus, general surface smooth with numerous large scattered 

 punctures. 



Antennas (PI. XI. fig. c) : length 3 mm. (as long as the fore 

 wing) without club, slender, all the joints cylindrical. Bulla 

 short and globose, scape (8 : 5) a little expanded apically and 

 about twice as broad as the pedicel and fuuicle. Pedicel and 

 first four funicular joints widest apically, the remaining joints 

 perfectly cylindrical. The first funicular joint is longest. 

 The proportions more exactly are 16 (scape), 14 (pedicel), 21, 

 20, 18, 17, 15, 15, 14, 15, 17, 14, 14, 17. In the same 

 scale the breadth of the funicle is about 5^. Sensoria none 

 on scape and pedicel, on the remaining joints they increase 

 from 6-7 on the 1st funicular to 15-17 on the terminal 

 joints. 



ilandibles (9 : 8) with the apical teeth in a sloping row. 

 The two lower teeth are more acute and subequal, the upper- 

 most being shorter and blunter. Trophi partly concealed 

 within the cup-like mouth-opening. Stipes over 20 bristles. 

 Maxillary palpus (PI. XI. fig. d) with joints in ratio 25 : 40 : 

 50 : 72 : 96, with breadth 12 : 25 : 17 : 15 : 8. Mentum com- 

 pressed, vomeriform, bare. Labial palpus (fig. e) 45 : 50 : 28, 

 breadth 18 : 8 : 12. Thorax, upper aspect, see fig. a, con- 

 sj)icuou3 on mesonotum is the A-tigure formed by the meso- 

 scntal furrow and those separating the axillae and scutellum. 

 Puticturation of mesonotum sparser than on head. The scu- 

 tellum smooth for the most part with a few punctures chiefly 

 at the sides. Metapleurse with a deep broad cone-shaped 

 hollow near upper anterior angle. In general, the bristles 

 are rather lonii; and coarse.
