 transverse, third and fourth simple, third longest, fifth to fifteenth

 they almost disappear ; scutellum with a long spear-shaped pro- 

 jection behind ; head very narrow, transverse ; ocelli arranged in 

 a straight line ; petiole short ; abdomen short, ascending. (The 

 abdomen is damaged in the type, and the figure may not there-

 figs. 6, 6 a, 6 h.) 



The species of EucJiarissa are South- African insects, and their 

 scutellum is unarmed.
