Some New Genera and Species of Hijmcnoptera. 205 



Gen. IPHIAULAX, Foer. 

 Iphiaulax ornaticollis, sp. nov. 



Black ; a mark on the malar space, a line on the upper part of 

 the propleurae, narrow at the base, becoming gradually wider towards 

 the apex and an oblique mark on the lower side at the apex, orange- 

 yellow ; wings clear yellowish hyaline to the apex of the stigma, 

 fuscous beyond ; the stigma orange-yellow, black at its base and 

 apex ; apical abscissa of radius somewhat longer than the basal 

 two united. Palpi black. $> . 



Length 13 mm. ; terebra 2 mm. 



Cape Colony. Dunbrody. 



Antennae densely microscopical pilose ; the scape short, com- 

 pressed, longer below than its width above, laterally becoming 

 gradually wider towards the apex. Face opaque, closely minutely 

 punctured and covered with long black hair ; front and vertex 

 smooth and shining. Temples wide, as long as the antennal scape, 

 not obliquely narrowed, rounded behind. Abdomen as long as the 

 head and thorax ; smooth ; the middle of the first segment keeled 

 longitudinally, the keel not reaching the apex ; the area on second 

 segment triangular, slightly longer than its width at the base ; its 

 lateral furrow roundly curved inwardly ; an oblique keel on the sides 

 of the third ; the furrows are smooth. Hind femora compressed 

 laterally below. The cloud in the hind wings commences shortly 

 beyond the middle. 



PARASPINABIA, gen. nov. 



Abdomen with seven segments ; closely rugosely reticulated, the 

 apical two minutely denticulate ; the last bluntly rounded ; the 

 suturiform articulation not cleft at the sides ; the area on the second 

 segment triangular, reaching to the apex. Mesonotum trilobate, the 

 furrows reaching to the scutellum. Metonotum widely furrowed 

 in the centre. Head cubital, the temples well developed, not 

 obliquely narrowed ; the occiput slightly roundly incised. Clypeus 

 convex, roundly narrowed behind, its sides bordered by depressions. 

 Transverse median nervure received beyond the transverse basal ; 

 the recurrent nervure received in apex of first cubital cellule; the 

 abscissae of radius become successively longer, the last roundly 

 curved upwards. Hind wings as in ExotJiccus except that the 

 costal cellule is much more narrowed at the apex, the nervures 

 almost touching there. Antennal scape short, about three times 

 longer than broad ; the first joint of flagellum slightly longer than 

 broad.
