Psyche 
[September 
eyes; malar space moderately long; palpi simple, slender. Pronotum 
rather long, crossed by a deep transverse furrow, posterior lobes 
projecting well beneath sides of mesoscutum, the latter elongate, 
with strong, complete notauli ; propodeum strongly foveolate, some- 
what angulate but not really dentate on each side. Fore wing with 
very simple venation, as figured. Legs simple, slender, non-spinose; 
tibia! spur formula 1-2-2; claws apparently simple. Metasoma 
robust except apical three segments in the form of a slender (prob- 
ably extensible) tube. Body without strong surface sculpturing ex- 
cept for the large foveae on the propodeum. 
Type-species. — Hypocleptes rasnitsyni , new species. 
Remarks. — This genus differs from Procleptes (Evans, 1969) in 
lacking dentiform processes on the propodeum and apical processes 
on the front coxae; also, the scapes are much shorter. The wings 
of Procleptes are mostly missing, so this feature cannot be compared. 
Hypocleptes rasnitsyni, new species 
Length 2.8 mm; fore wing about 1.8 mm. Head, thorax, and 
appendages brown to black, abdomen much paler, rufotestaceous ; 
wings hyaline, veins and stigma brown. Antennae short, middle seg- 
ments very slightly longer than wide. Mesoscutum, measured along 
midline, about twice as long as pronotum, surface sparsely punctate; 
mesoscutum and scutellum separated by a transverse groove. Seg- 
ments of front tarsus in the following ratio: 22:5:5:4:10; middle 
and hind tarsi more elongate than front tarsi. 
Holotype. — ?, Taimyr, N. Siberia, 1971, amber specimen no. 
3311-6. Paratypes. — 5 9 $ in fair condition in other pieces of amber 
from same source, nos. 3130-20, 3130-22, 3311-8, 33 1 1 _ 9, an d 
3311-10. 4 additional 9 ? in P oor condition are also tentatively placed 
in this species. 
Protamisega, new genus 
Known from a single female only 1.9 mm in length, bearing much 
resemblance to living members of the genus Amisega (Figs. 9, 10). 
Eyes large, somewhat protuberant; antennae inserted far below bot- 
tom of eyes, scape very long, about 4 X as long as wide, about half 
as long as remainder of antenna. Pronotum moderately long, crossed 
by a transverse carina anteriorly, midline not impressed ; notauli 
deeply impressed, complete; scutellum with a transverse basal sul- 
cus; propodeum with a steep posterior slope, surface with a number
