154 HYMENOPTERA OF SARAWAK. 



ally wider from the apex to the base. Occiput deeply incised; 

 temples wide, obliquely narrowed. Apex of clypeus broadly 

 rounded. Labrum hidden. Abdomen with 8 segments ; the 

 1st long- and slender ; the last small ; sheath of ovipositor long, 

 projecting. Areolet 5-angled, narrowed in front ; transverse 

 basal nervure interstitial ; the disco-cubital broken by the stump 

 of a nervure. Legs long, the apex of hinder femora reaching 

 to the 5th segment ; ventral fold broad, reaching to the base of 

 the ovipositor. 



The tarsi are long and spinose ; there is a keel between the 

 two hind coxte and another above it ; the antennae are dilated and 

 compressed before the apex and ringed with white ; the abdo- 

 minal segments closely punctured and not longitudinally stria- 

 ted at the base ; face and clypeus flat ; the wings fuscous. 



This genus is intermediate between the Joppini and the 

 .4 mblypygi. In the form of the metathorax it does not differ from 

 the latter and can hardly be looked upon as a typical genus of 

 Joppini.

 white ; the basal 3 segments of the abdomen red ; the base of the 

 1st and the apices of the others white. Legs black, the 4 an- 

 terior with their coxse and trochanters for the greater part and

 at the apex below. Wings fuscous-violaceous, the hinder 

 paler at the base, antennas black, the 8th to 11th joints white 

 beneath. £ .
