Club of the anteuiifE much enlarged, usually as long or nearly as long as the funicle, or 

 a little longer, and obliquely truncate from beneath, the joints of the funicle, or at least 

 the first three or four joints, moniliform, or not longer than thick, the others transverse ; 

 abdomen ovate, rarely longer than the head and thorax united, most frequently the 



length of the thorax or a little longer Epiencyrtus Ashmead 



(type Encyrtus thyreodontis Ashm.). 



Club of antennae not much enlarged, nor obliquely truncate from beneath, fusiform, and 



less than half the length of the funicle, none of the funicle joints wider than long ; 



abdomen short ovate, hardly as long as the thorax Syrphophagus Ashmead 



(type Encyrtus mesograptss Ashm.). 

 Stigmal vein very short, scarcely so long as the marginal and postmarginal veins united, the former 

 being not more than, or hardly, twice as long as thick, the postmarginal vein never well developed, 

 although acuminate and longer than the short marginal ; club of antenna; oblong, stouter, and a 

 little more than half the length of the funicle, the first two or three joints of the funicle short or 

 moniliform, the following a little longer than thick, or at most with only the last two joints a little 

 wider than long ; abdomen broadly oval and considerably shorter than the thorax ; scutellum vari- 

 able, subopaquely sculptured or polished, impunctate, the axillae not quite meeting at their inner

Scutellum triangular, acute at apex, not declivous ; head with the scrobes deep ; antennae 

 simple Choreia Westwood (type Encyrtus ineptus Dalm.). 



49. Head with the face much inflexed, the scrobes deep, semicircular, the frons most frequently regularly 



or veiy minutely, feebly punctate 50

Wings hyaline or at most with a discoidal cloud ; antennae short. 



Eyes large, rounded, strongly convergent above and leaving a very narrow or linear 

 vertex ; antennae very short, the club enormously enlarged, longer than the funicle 



■ and several times thicker, the joints of the funicle transverse. Zaomma Ashmead 



(type Encyrtus argentipes How.). 

 Eyes not unusually large, only slightly converging above, the vertex not especially 

 narrow ; club of antennae not unusually enlarged and about the length of the funicle,
