Pimpla (N. America), fig. 21, has 2 strong upright hairs at the commencement of the row of hooks; 
12 follow regularly; but between the 6th and 7th and the 9th and 10th, and in a line with 
the hairs, is a small hook standing up and not re-curved. In all these species of Pimpla, 
there are rather upright and strong hairs at the commencement of the row of hooks.
