length of the metasomatic body; great sternite distinctly protruded 
forwards to form a slight hump, horseshoe-shaped fold protruded 
backwards to 1/3 of length of the sternite, pilosity in the fold quite 
distinct and dense. 
Material examined. — 3 females (paratypes, in coll. MCZ, Cam- 
bridge, Mass., and coll. L. Masner, Prague). 2 Chapeco, 
2 J°oy' ; 52°36 7 Brazil, 600 m.a.s.l., August i960, Fritz Plaumann 
collector. 1 Erechim, 27°35'; 52°i5' Brazil, 750 m.a.s.l., July 
i960, Fritz Plaumann, collector. 
Variability. — Female from Erechim much paler in colour (pale 
yellow) with finer sculpture of mesosoma and with great tergite 
extending but to of the length of metasomatic body. 
Male. — Unknown. 
Host. — Unknown. 
Key to species of Coecopria gen.n. 
1 ) Propodeum distinctly separated anteriorly from thorax by suture 
or row of deep punctures (figs. 4, 10) ; horseshoe-shaped fold of 
great sternite not extending beyond the basal 1/3 of the sclerite 
(figs. 7, 13) • 2 
— Prodeum completely fused with thorax (fig. 8) ; horseshoe-shaped 
fold of great sternite extending down to very apex of sclerite and 
here united, forming an oval field (fig. 9) 
Coecopria bella sp.n. 
2) Antenna 10-segmented ; tarsi 5-segmented; mesonotum almost 
smooth, shining, with only few scattered fine punctures; head 
globose (fig. 4) Coecopria plaumanni sp.n. 
— • Antenna 9-segmented; tarsi 4-segmented; mesonotum evenly 
longitudinally rugoso-punctate all over; head elongated (fig. 10) 
Coecopria pygmea sp.n. 
DISCUSSION 
Twelve genera of Diapriinae are known to have fewer than 12 
antennal segments: Solenopsia Wasmann (Palearctic) , Bruesopria 
Wing (Nearctic), Philoleste s Kieffer (Neotropic), Doliopria Kieffer 
(Neotropic, Nearctic), Mitropria Ogloblin (Neotropic), Ferri- 
eropria Sundholm (Ethiopian), Solenopsiella Dodd (Australia), 
Polydiapria Dodd (Australia), Nanopria Kieffer (Ethiopian), 
Xanthopria Brues (Neotropic), Notoxopria Kieffer (Neotropic) 
and Asolenopsia Kieffer (Neotropic). 
Austropria and Coecopria show close ties only to Doliopria Kieffer 
and (?) Mitropria Ogloblin. The punctate head in Austropria and
