  the 
  hind 
  wings 
  have 
  a 
  stigma; 
  their 
  radius 
  and 
  cubitus 
  

   are 
  distinct; 
  the 
  probrachial 
  nervure 
  is 
  received 
  near 
  the 
  

   middle 
  of 
  the 
  cellule 
  ; 
  the 
  abdomen 
  is 
  fiat 
  above 
  ; 
  its 
  apical 
  

   half 
  wider 
  than 
  the 
  basal.]

  Clypeus 
  flat, 
  its 
  apex 
  transverse. 
  Head 
  large, 
  cubital 
  ; 
  

   the 
  occiput 
  not 
  margined 
  ; 
  behind 
  the 
  eyes 
  it 
  is 
  largely 
  

   developed. 
  Mesonotum 
  with 
  two 
  short 
  furrows 
  at 
  the 
  

   base, 
  where 
  the 
  part 
  between 
  them 
  is 
  raised. 
  Wings 
  with 
  

   three 
  cubital 
  cellules 
  ; 
  the 
  transverse 
  probrachial 
  nervure 
  

   is 
  received 
  behind 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  cellule 
  and 
  distant 
  

   from 
  the 
  transverse 
  praebrachial 
  ; 
  the 
  anal 
  nervure 
  not 
  

   interstitial, 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  distinct 
  upward 
  curve 
  at 
  the 
  base. 
  

   In 
  the 
  hind 
  wings 
  the 
  radius 
  and 
  the 
  cubitus 
  are 
  com- 
  

   plete 
  ; 
  the 
  probrachial 
  nervures 
  — 
  longitudinal 
  and 
  trans- 
  

   verse 
  — 
  are 
  obsolete, 
  unless 
  the 
  former 
  be 
  represented 
  by 
  

   a 
  small 
  upward 
  turned 
  nervure 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  wing, 
  

   which 
  unites 
  with 
  the 
  cubitus, 
  thus 
  forming 
  a 
  small, 
  

   closed 
  cellule 
  ; 
  the 
  radius 
  issues 
  from 
  the 
  praebrachial 
  

   below 
  the 
  subcostal 
  which 
  is 
  thickened 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  this 
  

   thickened 
  part 
  being 
  incised 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  above. 
  

   Abdomen 
  short 
  ; 
  the 
  securiform 
  articulation 
  obsolete 
  ; 
  

   the 
  second 
  segment 
  with 
  a 
  deep 
  oblique 
  lateral, 
  and 
  a 
  

   small 
  transverse 
  depression 
  ; 
  hypopygium 
  cultriform. 
  

  

  This 
  genus 
  has 
  the 
  form 
  and 
  appearance 
  of 
  Bracon, 
  

   from 
  which 
  it 
  differs 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  clypeus, 
  which 
  is 
  

   fiat 
  and 
  not 
  obliquely 
  bent 
  inwards, 
  so 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  

   not 
  a 
  semicircular 
  or 
  round 
  space 
  formed 
  by 
  it 
  and 
  the 
  

   mandibles. 
  It 
  is 
  therefore 
  doubtful 
  if 
  it 
  could 
  be 
  included 
  

   in 
  the 
  Cyclostomi 
  with 
  which 
  it 
  agrees 
  in 
  other 
  respects 
  ; 
  

   it 
  differs 
  from 
  Bracon 
  further 
  in 
  the 
  anal 
  nervure 
  not 
  

   being 
  interstitial 
  ; 
  the 
  legs 
  are 
  more 
  densely 
  pilose 
  and 
  

   the 
  hair 
  is 
  longer 
  than 
  in 
  that 
  genus.
