petiole. Legs unusually long and slender, the middle and hind 
coxie large and swollen. 
Type from Aniseed V., New Zealand, March 23, 1922 
(A. Philpott). 
This species resembles closely certain palaearctic and nearctic 
species of this highly polymorphic and no doubt also polyphyletic 
genus. It will be readily recognized by the black head and pleurae 
and the very pale legs and mesonotum 
Family ScelionidjE
