third. Legs slender ; the hinder tarsi not perceptibly- 

 longer than the tibiae ; tarsi spined ; their claws simple. 



The relationship of this to the genus Ctenopiinpla here 

 described is clear enough. The differences between the 

 two may be expressed as follows. 



Clypeus not separated, metapleural spiracles elliptical ; 

 the tarsal claws simple. Meyva. 



Clypeus separated ; metapleural spiracles small, oval, 

 almost round ; the tarsal claws pectinated. 



Ctenopimpla. 



Meyva villosa, sp. nov.

Long. 15 mm. 



Antennae black ; the apex broken off. Head black ; 

 the inner orbits narrowly in the middle, more broadly and 

 longer at the top and bottom, the outer narrowly, the 

 clypeus, a transverse line above it, the mandibles 

 broadly at the base, and the palpi, yellowish ; the palpi 

 more testaceous in tint. Face closely punctured, thickly 

 covered with white pubescence ; the front smooth, the 

 vertex coarsely aciculated. Thorax thickly covered with

 strongly punctured ; the punctures larger and more widely 

 separated than on the mesonotum ; at the base of the 

 scutellar keels is a yellow spot. Metanotum strongly 

 punctured, the punctures deep, large and close to each 

 other ; above the apex is a stout, transverse keel. Pro- 

 and meso-pleurae closely punctured, the latter smooth and 

 shining in the middle behind ; the metapleurae more
