NEMATUS LAEICIVOEUS. 191 



Nematus abbeeviatus (Vol. II, p. 60). 



Nematus abbreviatus is, according to Konow, a 

 Micronematus ; if so ours is a different species, differ- 

 ing from Micronematus in having the clypeus trun- 

 cated and the first transverse cubital nervure obsolete. 

 Our species is a Pristiphora. The pentagonal area 

 is subdistinct; the claws have a subapical tooth. 

 The length should be 5 mm. 



Nematus hibeenicus (Yol. II, p. 58). 



Konow refers N. hibernicus to Micronematus ; but it 

 does not agree with the description of that section, 

 inasmuch as my species has the first transverse cubital 

 nervure very indistinct.
