HYMENOPTERA 



Genus BALINEA, Cameron 



Balinea. Cameron, Mem. Proc. Soc. Manch. Vol. 44, p. loi (1900). 



Allgemeine Charaktere. — « Areolet small, oblique, the transvcr.sc- cubital nervures touching 

 above; the lower side angled; the ajiical abscissa of the radius is curved upwards. Eyes larger than 

 usual, distinctly converging beneath, reaching close to the base of the mandibles. Clypeus small, twice 

 as broad as long; its apex semi-circularly depressed. Mandibles broad at the base, narrowed at the 

 apex, which has one tooth. Face roundly convex, reaching near to the lower side of the eyes. Occiput 

 immarginate. Mesonotum trilobate; the middle lobe triangular at the apex. Scutellum large, flat. 

 Median segment elongate, nearly as long as the mesothorax; it has a gradual slope to the apex, has the 

 small, somewhat oval spiracles in the middle, has no keels, and is closely, but not strongly, reticulated. 

 Legs long, slender; the hinder coxae large, as long as the petiole; which becomes gradually wider 

 towards the apex; the spiracles on the petiole are circular and are situated shortly before the middle; 

 the apex of the petiole is not curved. Claws biiid. Ovipositor longer than the abdomen, and issuing 

 from a ventral cleft. The abscissa of the radius is curved upwards at the base; the transverse basal 

 nervure is interstitial; the recurrent nervure is received at the base of the apical third; th" second 

 transverse cubital nervure is faint; the recurrent nervure is largely buUated in the middle; the sub- 

 discoidal nervure issues from the middle. 



» Comes near to Banchits and Exetastes; the former may be known from it by the pectinated 

 claws; the latter by the different form of the face and clypeus, hy the metathoracic spiracles being 

 placed beliind the middle, and by the shorter legs. »
