it from that Tribe, as does also tlie different form of the abdomen 

 and in the antennae being placed close to the mouth. The form 

 of the abdomen is more like what it is in the Cynipidae than 

 what it is in the Braconidae or Ichneumonidae ; it is very different 

 from what it is in the Stephanidae where it is more or less petio- 

 lated. As regards the systematic position of the Genus it seems 

 to nie that it must be either regarded as a New Tribe of Bra- 

 conidae or a New Family allied to that group. The Genus is 

 dedicated to my late House - Keeper , Mary Ettchells, in 

 grateful memory of many years faithful Service.

 hyaline , a fuscous cloud along the outer edge of the transverse 

 median and transverse basal nervures , a wider one commencing 

 at the base of the stigma and extending to the base of the apical 

 abscissa of the radius and a slighter narrower one at the apex, 

 the extreme apex being almost hyaline ; the stigma and nervures, 

 except the apex of radius, black ; the hind wings unclouded and 

 more distinctly ciliated (the ciliae longer and denser) than the 

 anterior. Antennae longer than the body , bare , except for a

 the top and one above the middle of metapleurae , the 2 being
