JAMES WATERSTON. 



Antennae (figs. 4, 5) with thirteen joints : scape, pedicel, eight funicular, three in 

 club. Scape about five-and-a-half times as long as broad, rather narrow on basal 

 third ; reticulate, with regularly distributed short hairs on either side ; one or two 

 outer subapical median bristles stronger. Pedicel two-sevenths of the scape and 

 twice as long as broad. From the first funicular joint to the middle of the club the 

 antenna is steadily expanded. The third joint (first funicular) is a little narrower 

 (3 : 4) than the pedicel and half the width of the tenth joint, while the club at its 

 widest exceeds the third as 5 : 2 . The segmentation of the club is obliquely undulated, 

 not circular and transverse. The last joint obliquely truncated, with a membranous 

 termination, which forms a large sense organ. The proportional lengths of the 

 antennal joints from 3 onwards are 13 : 37 : 34 : 40 : 30 : 30 : 28 : 26, and of club 

 27 : 23 : 25, measured along the ventral edge. The second funicular joint (4) bears 

 no sensoria.

Mouth-parts of the usual Eupelmine type. Labrum small, co-extensive with 

 the smooth median area of the clypeus ; bearing eight bristles. First maxilla, 

 both stipes and mentum strongly reticulate ; the former with one to two superficial 

 and four lateral bristles. Maxillary palpus, 11 : 12 : 16 : 35 ; the last joint darkened 

 and apically broadened. Labial palpus, 15 : 9 : 15 ; the second joint broader than 

 long. The teeth of the mandibles are short, the outer acute, the inner broad and 

 •obtuse (fig. 4, 6). 



Thorax : pronotum in two sclerites, with a narrow median membranous connection. 

 Each protergite with a few scattered bristles forming anteriorly a row of seven to 

 eight ; two longer and two shorter bristles near the dark spiracular edging ; surface 

 of pronotum smooth, reticulate. The rest of the dorsal thoracic surface has a rather
