RuyYsSALINI. 
Pararhyssalus, gen. nov. 
Eyes large, distinctly incised on the inner side above, where they converge ; 
the malar space very short. Apex of clypeus transverse, the middle below 
bordered by an oblique depression. The upper tooth of the mandibles much 
longer than thelower. Temples very short, hardly visible above, the occiput 
transverse, weakly margined, palpi long, reaching to the fore coxe. Meso- 
notum trilobate, the furrows uniting before its apex. Basal part of metanotum 
with a weak keel down the middle and a somewhat stronger one bordering 
the outer edge ; the apical slope with a large central and a smaller lateral area ; 
there is a wide shallow, curved furrow on the lower basal half of the meso- 
pleure. Metanotal spiracles small, oval. Basal segment of abdomen sessile, 
about 3 times longer than wide ; it and the 2nd are strongly longitudinally 
striated, the striz clearly separated ; the 3rd segment is weakly, irregularly 
striated ; the suturiform articulation wide, clearly defined, crenulated, there is 
a fine transverse furrow on the base of the 3rd ; the 1st segment is one-quarter 
longer than the 2nd, the 2nd fully one-quarter longer than the 3rd, the others 
shorter, the last bluntly rounded. Radial cellule wide, extending to the apex 
of the wing ; the radius issues from shortly behind the middle ; there are 3 cubital 
cellules, the 2nd large, 4-angled, the 2nd transverse cubital nervure half the 
length of the 2nd abscissa of the radius ; transverse median nervure received 
shortly beyond the transverse basal ; the recurrent nervure in lst cubital cel- 
lule ; the basal abscissa of radius less than half the length of the 1st transverse 
cubital, which is angled near the middle ; the anal nervure issues from above 
the bottom of the nervure ; the radius in hind wings obsolete ; the cubitus 
distinct. Hind spurs short, about one-fourth of the length of the meta- 
tarsus. 
In the arrangement of Szépligeti (Gen. Ins. Braconide, 76) this genus runs 
to Oncophanes, Clinocentrus and Petalodus ; it cannot be confounded with any 
of them. 
Pararhyssalus longipalpis, sp.n. 
Testaceous, the 2nd and following segments of the abdomen darker coloured, 
the 4 front legs paler, more yellowish than the thorax, the basal 10 or llantennal 
joints black, the rest rufo-testaceous ; the head with the mandibles and palpi 
paler, more yellowish than the thorax, the stemmaticum black ; the 1st and 
2nd segments of the abdomen are strongly longitudinally striated, the 3rd 
more finely and closely to near the apex. Base of metanotum smooth in the 
centre, where there is a keel, which roundly bifurcates at the apex ; the sides 
are finely irregularly reticulated ; the apical slope above is surrounded by a 
keel, on it are 3 arew; the central is narrowed below, the lateral larger, 
wider, its keel following the outline of the apex. The apical abdominal seg- 
ments and the legs are densely covered with white pubescence. Male. 
Length 6 m.m. 
The Ist transverse cubital nervure is bluntly, angularly bent shortly below 
the middle ; the hinder part is thinner than the anterior.
