166 ME. W, H. ASHMEAD ON THE PAEASITIC HTMENOPTEEA 



Paeaoltns, gen. nov. 



Allied to Olinx, Eorster, but differs as follows : — Tlie antennse 

 are flattened in both sexes, the f unicle being 4-jointed ; in tbe 

 male the joints are strongly excised and pedicellate, in the female 

 transverse. Pronotum short, transverse ; mesonotum a little 

 wider than long, with distinct parapsidal furrows ; metanotum 

 short. Tibial spurs 1, 1, 2, the middle spurs long, the hiad spurs 

 short, weak. Abdomen ovate, with a short petiole. Venation 

 similar to Si/inpiesis, Forster, the marginal vein long, about as 

 long as the submarginal, or only three times as long as the 

 stigmal. 



The flattened antennse and the strongly excised pedicellate 

 funicle-joints of the male separate the genus at once from all 

 other described genera in the tetramerous Chalcididae.
