Submedian cell considerably longer than the median ; second cubital 

 cell sessile, or at most subsessile and longer along the radius, 

 than along the cubitus, so as to appear obtrapezoidal.

 4. Recurrent nervure interstitial or joining the first cubital cell ; first dis- 

 coidal cell longly petiolate ; second cubital cell not large.

SCHAUINSLANDIA Ashmead, n. g. 



The affinities of this new genus is clearly with Helcon and 

 Cenocoelius, and with the exception of the attachment of the 

 abdomen, shows the closest relation with the latter genus. Its 

 generic characters and its position in the group, are, I think, 

 clearly brought out in my table, and little more may be said 

 of it: the head is large, qiiadrale or subquadrate ; madibles biden- 

 date, the upper tooth the longer ; maxillary palpi long, ^-jointed, 

 the first joint the shortest, the third the longest, the second soine- 

 7vhat dilated toivards one side at base ; labial palpi ^-jointed, 

 much shorter; antenna i6-joi7ited in S. femorata, the first and 

 last joints of flagelluni the longest, about equal in length ; meso- 

 notal furroxvs distinct ; scutellum ivith a crenate furroiv across the 

 base ; metathorax not or very incompletely areolated. Wi?tgs 

 similar in venation to Aspicolpas Wesmael, but with the subme- 

 dian cell much longer than the median, and with the second cubital 

 cell quite differently shaped, being obtrapezoidal, never quadrate. 



This genus is dedicated to the distinguished Director of the 

 Museum, Dr. Hugo Hermann Schauinsland. 



(4) Schauinslandia femorata n. sp. 



$. — Length 5 to 6 mm. Head, except a spot on the vertex, the an- 

 tennae, except the last three joints, the abdomen and the legs mostly fer- 

 rugineous ; spot on vertex, enclosing the ocelli and extending forward ta 

 the base of the antennae, black ; palpi, trochanters and tarsi white ; hind 

 coxae black ; hind femora dark red, their tibiae fuscous. The frontal de- 

 pression of the head is transversely wrinkled, but with a distinct median 



• Mr. Marshall claims the genus Promachus Marshall was never published. I dispute 

 this; the name was published in 1887, in a table furnished by him for Cresson, vide Cres- 

 son's Synopsis of N. A. Hym., p. 61, line 23.
