Celonophamia, new genus 
Wasps approximately 2 mm in length, fully alate, of fuscous 
coloration (known only from females) (Figs. 14, 16). Antennae 
simple, with 12 segments; eyes large, slightly protruding from sides 
of head, not noticeably hairy; palpi short; mandibles short, the apex 
broad, with several sharp teeth; front with a deep median groove. 
Pronotum short, its posterior margin broadly arched ; mesoscutum 
broad, notauli distinct. Legs simple, not spinose; front femur not 
swollen, about 3 X as long as wide ; claws simple. Wings extending 
well beyond middle of abdomen, rather evenly covered with micro- 
trichiae ; stigma and radial vein well developed ; basal vein reaching 
subcosta a short distance basad of stigma, not giving rise to a vein ; 
discoidal and subdiscoidal veins absent or weakly defined. Metasoma 
sessile, slightly flattened, bearing short bristles. 
Type-species. — Celonophamia taimyria , new species. 
Remarks. — This genus also occurs in Upper Cretaceous Canadian 
amber (specimen to be described later). The 12-segmented anten- 
nae suggest Cephalonomia and its allies (the generic name is ana- 
gram of Cephalonomia) . However, the wings are broader and have 
a fuller venation than in that genus. Possibly this genus is close to 
the ancestral stock of the Cephalonomiini, subfamily Epyrinae. 
Celonophamia taimyria, new species 
Length 2 mm; fore wing about 1.3 mm. Fuscous; wings hyaline, 
with brown veins and stigma. Front slightly wider than height of 
an eye, with a deep median sulcus reaching to anterior ocellus; 
ocelli of moderate size; sculpturing of front weak. Antennal seg- 
ments in the following ratio: 15:8:7:6:6:6:6:6:6:6:6:10. Segments 
of hind tarsus in the following ratio: 20:9:7:6:11. 
Holotype. — 9, Taimyr, N. Siberia, 1971, amber specimen no. 
331 1-5. Paratypes. — Two specimens of indeterminate sex, in rather 
poor condition, nos. 3311-11 and 3311- 12. 
FAMILY CLEPTIDAE 
Hypocleptes, new genus 
Small wasps bearing much resemblance to living members of the 
genus Cleptes, although with a very simple wing venation (known 
only from females) (Figs. 11, 13). Antennae short, scape only 
about 2.5 X as long as wide, arising slightly below bottoms of
