 on the petiole smooth and shining ; the sides coarsely, 

 but not very distinctly, punctured ; the apex above with

Chrysopimpla gen. nov. 



Wings with the areolet petiolate, oblique, triangular, 

 receiving the recurrent nervure before the middle ; the 

 apical abscissa of the radius roundly curved upwards 

 at the base ; the cubital nervure at the base straight, 

 oblique, the part before the cubitus not curved or rounded, 

 and except where the first recurrent nervures join it, 

 almost on the same plane with the basal portion; the 

 transverse median nervure is received before the trans- 

 verse basal in the cubital-discoidal cellule. In the hind- 

 wings the transverse anal nervure is interstitial. Head 

 narrow, not dilated behind ; the face elongated, largely 

 developed below the eyes ; the clypeus separated from 

 the face by a narrow suture ; the apex of the mandibles 

 bidentate ; the upper tooth the larger. Eyes distinctly 

 converging on the lower side and distant from the base of 

 the mandibles. Antennse long and slender. Mesonotum 

 shining, distinctly but not closely punctured, Scutellum 

 large, convex, distinctly raised above the level of the 

 mesonotum, its base with a long, rounded slope ; its apex 

 with a shorter oblique one; the postscutellum large, 

 obliquely sloped at the base, not foveate there. Median 

 segment without keels ; and having a gradually rounded
