 pedesque pallidiores ; vertex et thorax fusca nitida ; oculi rubri : 

 alae hyalinas radice obscuriores, nervo subcostali fusco. 



Bred from subcutaneous larvae in the leaves of Aquilegia : 

 J. Curtis, to whom I owe the species. 



The trimerous tarsi, and peculiar wings, so decidedly sepa- 

 rate this insect from the preceding tribes, that I could not 

 satisfy myself of its affinity to any one of them ; and have 

 therefore preferred the confession of ignorance, implied in the 

 leaving it as an insulated species. Where there is such marked 

 disparity of typical characters, I am inclined to distrust slighter 

 resemblances, or I might have supposed a relation to the 

 Eulophi. The trophi would probably determine the point, 

 but I have not attempted their investigation, as Mr. Curtis 

 possesses only one complete specimen besides the one he most 

 liberally gave to me.

^ Or the genus Mymar, E. B. ; the genera here distinguished being dis- 

 posed under it as subgenera. For an arrangement founded on other details, see 

 Mr. Walker's divisions given in E. B. I suppose Genus 189 (unnamed) of 

 Stephens's Catalogue also to be equivalent to my tribe, and his Platygaster 

 ovulorum not to be the species for which I have cited Ichn. ovulorum, L. — 

 otherwise that indication is determined by its representative, Ichn. punctum 

 (Shaw) to the subgenus Anaphes.
