and hind tibiae, extreme base of first joint of middle tarsus, hind 
trochanters and a very decided stripe on the outer side of the posterior 
tibiae, pale yellow or whitish. Antennae piceous, the flagellar joints 
except the last, yellowish brown. Mandibles brown, with black tips. 
Palpi w hitish, the last joint long, swollen and bent at the base. Body 
slender; head transverse, two and one-half times as wide as thick and 
about as broad as high; front microscopicallj^ rugose, face shagreened. 
Eyes hairy. Antennae 11-jointed, the flagellum brown except the last 
joint, which is black. Scape piceous, thickened towards the middle, 
nearly one-half as long as the flagellum; pedicel a little shorter than 
the first and second flagellar joints together, ring- joint wider than 
long. Third and following flagellar joints wider and shorter, the 
penultimate quadrate and one-half as long as the apical one. On 
the under side of the pedicel is a series of about ten very fine, long 
hooked hairs to be seen only under high magnification. Mesonotum 
shagreened, shining, the parapsidal elevations almost obsolete. Scutel- 
lum with a tolerably broad base on the mesonotum, its surface micro- 
scopically rugulose. Metanotum polished, the metaiDleurae above with 
long white pubescence. Abdomen as long as the thorax, the posterior 
margins of the segments entire. Ovipositor jDrojecting very slightly. 
Wings hyaline; submarginal vein two-fifths the length of the wing, 
twice as long as the marginal; postmarginal strongly developed, dimin- 
ishing apically, but distinct to the apex of the wing; stigmal one-third 
the length of the marginal, knobbed at the tip. 
One female, Algoa Bay Cape Colony, November 24, 1896. 
The present species could be placed in no other described 
genns, but may possibly not be congeneric with the type of 
Charifopiis. As it agrees in having no bristles on the middle 
metatarsi, scarcely any impression on the mesonotum, and long 
postmarginal vein, it seems to fall here. The spur of the middle 
tibia is well-developed but not especially long and I can not detect 
the "schildformigen mittelbrustseiten" described by Forster 
(Hym. Stud. 11, p. 31) in his generic diagnosis of Charitopus, as 
more evident than in other Eupelmines. The peculiar hooked hairs 
on the antenna] pedicel are different from anything I have seen. 
Parasolindenia gen. nov. 
Female. Apterous, abdomen very strongly depressed, almost 
wafer-like; when seen from above oval, twice as wide as the thorax
