the hinder, except the base broadly behind, inside and 

 out, and a mark, gradually dilated from the base to the 

 apex in the middle, black; the hinder tarsi fuscous. 

 Wings hyaline except for a fuscous violaceous cloud in 

 the apex of the radial and the top of the cubital cellules ; 

 the areolet oblique ; the transverse cubital nervures unite 

 at the top, but do not form a petiole ; the recurrent 

 nervure is received shortly before the middle of the cellule. 

 The petiole is smooth and shining, impunctate; the apex 

 broadly yellow ; the black at the apex and sides running 

 into rufous ; the other segments are closely and rather 

 strongly punctured, except on the yellow apices ; the 

 depressions are not very strongly impressed ; the apical 

 segments entirely fulvous rufous ; the ventral surface 

 yellowish. 



Ctenopimpla, gen. nov. 



Areolet small, obliquely triangular, open at the apical 

 margin ; pedunculated, the pedicle as long as the cellule ; 

 the recurrent nervure is received near the apex. Head 

 transverse in front ; the clypeus separated from the face 

 by a deep furrow ; roundly projecting, its apex rounded. 

 Mandibles bidentate at the apex. Eyes large, parallel, 

 not curved at the top on the inner side, distinctly distant 

 from the base of the mandibles. Parapsidal furrows 

 obsolete ; the median segment with a transverse keel near 

 the apex. Legs more slender than usual ; the claws 

 pectinated. Abdominal segments longer than broad, 

 shagreened. Ovipositor elongate, not originating from a 

 ventral cleft. Metathoracic spiracles small, oval, placed 

 at the apex of the basal third ; the petiolar spiracles 

 slightly smaller and rounder, and placed near the apex of 

 the basal third. 



The affinities of this genus are clearly with Lissonota,
