Characters. — Head small, broadly ovate, nearly round, somewhat compressed on the fore 
part, situated deep in the thora.x;; eyes ovate, entire; ocelli three, arranged in a triangle on the front; 
palpi prominent, incurved, four jointed; first and second joints small, moderately robust, the second 
somewhat longer than the first, third joint more slender than the second and about a third longer than 
the latter, fourth joint slender, about the length of the second and third taken together; antennae cylin- 
drical, tapering towards the apex, projecting forwards, arcuated, 2-I-14 jointed, first joint of the scapus 
cyathiform, the second cupuliform, setiferous at the apex; flagellar joints cylindrical, with a very short 
downy pubescence. Thorax ovate, highl}' arched; scutellum small, almost semicircular; metathorax 
high, acclivous. Abdomen in the male with six segments, rather short, slender, cylindrical, the first 
segment narrowed, with a large anal joint supporting the forceps. Legs long and strong; tibiae spurred 
and provided with lateral spines, a few short ones on the fore tibiae on the inner side, two rows of 
long spines on the outer side of the intermediate tibias; three ranges on the hind tibiae, two ranges of 
long spines on the outer side and one of short ones on the inner side. Wings longer than the abdomen, 
oblong-oval, with rounded off base, microscopically pubescent. Anterior branches of the media and 
cubitus both detached; subcostal vein joining the costa considerably before the base of the radical sector 
and opposite to the base of the detached anterior branch of the cubitus, united to Rj by the Sc^ (subcostal 
crossvein) ; costal vein extending far beyond the tip of the radial sector; base of the radial sector 
situated beyond the middle of the wing, the basal cell R hence very long; anterior branch of the media 
reaching the margin of the wing just before the apex of the wing; proximal extremity of the anterior 
branch of the cubitus far proximad of the base of the petiole of the media; anal vein incomplete, 
distinct (PI. 4, Fig. 25).
