324 Timenri. 
Ovipositor short. Scutellum keeled laterally and more strongly at the apex. 
Metanotum regularly areolated, the spiracles longish oval. 
The head is a little wider than the thorax ; the face rises into 2 blunt teeth at 
the antenne, the temples are short, oblique, the occiput broadly rounded in- 
wardly, not margined. Clypeus foveate laterally, not separated from the face. 
Ocelli prominent, glassy reddish, the anterior smaller than the posterior. 
This genus apparently comes nearest to Zelomorpha, Ashm. ; it differs from 
that here described in that the long spur of the hind tibiz is not half the length 
of the metatarsus and that the 2nd joint of the maxillary palpi is dilated ; the 
thorax is described as “ short, ” which is certainly not the case in my genus 
which has also a closed discoidal cellule in the hind wings, which is not the case 
with Zelomorpha. 
Spilomicrodus ngriceps, sp.n. 
Luteous, the antenne, head, except the clypeus, labrum, mandibles and palpi, 
and the hind tibiz, except narrowly at the base, their spurs and the tarsi black ; 
wings yellowish hyaline, a fuscous cloud between the base of the parastigma 
and the Ist transverse cubital nervure, extending to the opposite end of the 
wings, narrowed at the cubitus, becoming widened towards the apex on the 
outer side and extending beyond the anal nervure, this apical dilated part 
bearing a small longish triangular cloud ; there is an apical commencing at the 
end of the stigma ; in the hind wings there is a cloud commencing at the apex of 
the basal nervures and extending the length of the radius beyond the latter, 
the base broadly, roundly dilated in the middle, the apex obliquely widened 
from the anterior to the posterior margin. Female. Length 8 m.m. 
Smooth, shining ; the head in front, metanotum and legs densely covered with 
white pubescence. Metanotum areolated ; the central basal area twice longer 
than wide, the basal half obliquely narrowed to a fine point ; outside this is a 
larger, wider area, its base much wider than the apex, through the keel running 
obliquely behind the spiracles, the apical part of equal width, longer than wide ; 
these basal longitudinal keels run into a transverse one which runs round the 
top of the apical slope ; there is, in the centre of the latter, a large, wider than 
long area, flanked by a smaller square one. Metapleure sparsely, not very 
strongly punctured. 
MicrOGASTERIN 2. 
Xanthomicrogaster, gen. n. 
Antenne stout, hardly narrowed towards the apex, 30-jointed. Eyes hairy. 
Mesonotum and mesopleure without furrows. Metanotum short, its side 
broadly rounded, the centre with a weakly crenulated, shallow furrow. Ist 
abdominal segment broad at the base, roundly curved at the apex; the 
2nd segment shorter than the 3rd; the suturiform articulation wide, curved ; 
the ovipositor broad, curved, more than half the length of the abdomen. 
Wings with 2 cubital cellules, the 2nd open at the apex, the cubitus 
projecting a little beyond the radius, which is broadly, roundly
