joint distinct. ^Moreover, the abdomen is as in Ufens. The 

 venation in poor specimens resembles that of Trichogramma, 

 but the stigmal vein is distinctly shorter than the really 

 straight marginal, yet well-developed, the oblique hairless 

 line from it containing many setae and is complete and more 

 or less confused with the discal ciliation which is mostly 

 normal. Hind wings with two complete lines of discal cilia 

 which are cephaHc; a short caudal line under the venation. 

 There is one more or less distinct line of discal cilia from 

 the apex of the stigmal vein to apex of the wing. Tarsal 

 joints not long but distinctly longer than wide.
