DIAGNOSIS OF HEMIPTARSENINE EULOPHIDJE. 
The tribe is characterised by bearing but one spur on the caudal tibise. 
Seutellum with grooved lines; funicle 4- jointed; two ring- joints. 
Club solid; the antennas 9- jointed; propodeuni with a median carina only, the spiracle 
small and round; stigmai vein not a sixth the length of the marginal; abdomen 
sessile, slender, conic-ovate. Mandibles 6 or 7-dentate. 
Necremnomyia Girault (Type: N. saintpierrei Girault). 
Seutellum without grooved lines; funicle 4- jointed. 
Antennaa 10-jointed, two ring-joints, the club 2-jointed; propodeuni with a median carina 
only, the spiracle large, elliptical; stigmai vein about a fourth or more the length 
of the marginal. Sympiesonecremnus Girault (Type: S. boasi Girault). 
Antenna) with but one ring-joint; propodeuni the same but the spiracle small; hind tibial 
spur small; mandibles about 10-dentate. 
Elachertonecremnus Girault (Type: E. circumjectus Girault).

TABLE TO THE SUBFAMILIES OF THE EULOPHIDHL* 
Submarginal vein of fore wing usually entire, not distinctly broken distad just before 
curving up to the marginal or not with all of the long proximal portion proximad of the bend 
abruptly slenderer than the short curved portion. Submarginal vein usually as long as or 
longer than the marginal, the stigmai rarely very short or sessile, the postmarginal vein always 
present, usually as long as or longer than the stigmai. Species metallic or nonmetallie, usually 
rather large and slender, comprising the larger forms of the family. Mandibles most frequently 
5-dentate or more, rarely 3- dentate or less. Seutellum frequently with two grooved lines. 
Sculpture usually scaly. Parapsidal furrows complete or incomplete. Propodeuni usually long. 
Tarsi 4-jointed. 
Parapsidal furrows complete, entire, usually distinct; abdomen frequently petiolate, the 
body frequently nonmetallie. Rarely, the hind tibial spurs very long, the axilke 
not advanced. Elachertinae. 
Parapsidal furrows wanting or incomplete, usually present along cephalic third or half; 
abdomen usually sessile, the body usually metallic, the hind tibial spurs never very 
large. Eulophinae. 
Submarginal vein of fore wing broken distad just before curving up to the marginal 
or the long proximal portion abruptly slenderer than the short, distal curved portion, the vein 
usually distinctly shorter than the marginal, frequently much shorter; stigmai vein usually 
of moderate length, frequently short and sessile, rarely long and slender; postmarginal vein 
iftost frequently absent or only slightly developed, rarely as long as or longer than the stigmai; 
species metallic or nonmetallie, usually of moderately small size, rarely minute or large, usually 
short but frequently slender, comprising the smaller forms of the family. Mandibles most 
frequently bi- or tridentate. Seutellum frequently with from two to four grooved lines, rarely 
with five, the scutum often with a median groove. Parapsidal furrows variable, the sculpture 
usually polygonal reticulation or very fine shagreening. Tarsi sometimes 5- jointed. 
Submarginal vein usually much shorter than the marginal which is frequently very long, 
the postinarginal vein variable, usually as long as the stigmai, rarely very short, 
sometimes much longer than the stigmai, the latter of moderate length but 
frequently sessile or subsessile; metapleura small, the propodeuni variable, the

since exceptions are occasionally met with ; if the main characters fail, use composites.
