Female : — Antenmu inserted in the middle of the face, 12- jointed without a ring-joint, 
the club 3-joiuted but not well ditferentiated. Marginal vein short, linear, the stigmal well 
develoi)ed, as long as the marginal, the postmarginal very short. Axillm rather widely 
separated, just within the caudal ends of the ])arapsidal furrows. Scutelluin conve.N. 
Propodeum noncarinate. Habitus of PerUampoides. 
Rale : — Tlie same ])ut the nntenuED only 11-jointed, the club distinctly 3-jointed. The

Female: — Length, 2.43 nira. 
Jet black, the wings hyaline; scape and hind coxa ivory white; tibiae and tarsi pale 
yellow. Pedicel a little longer than fnnicle 1 which is urn-shaped, a little longer than wide; 
other fiuiicle joints wider than long; distal club joint ovate. Pace below antenme with fine 
setigorous punctures, the thorax very finely subtransversely lineolated, the axillaa longitudinally 
so, tJie liead variously so; all the center of scufellum glabrous biit laterad with the fine sculpture 
and a few scattered })imetin'es. at apex obscurely, fiuely wrinkled. Lateral ocellus distant 
from the eye margin. Scutum obtusely obconical; the scuteiliim simple. Venation usually

PARACHRYSOMALLA new genus. 
EemaJe : — Differs from Euccelocyhomyia Girault in having the stigmal vein shorter, the 
])Ostmarginal longer, long, twice the length of the stigmal and as long (or nearly) as the 
marginal. Also the abdomen is less flattened, produced beneath. The scutcllum has its a^jical 
margin impressetl. the jiGstscutellum glabrous, with a pair of narrow media)) carintu and as 
long as the subtransverse, rioiicariiiated propodeum. In Kuaoilocyhomyia, there is a punctate 
cross-suture a little before the a])ex of scutelliun, the meHopostscatellum i.s sculi)tiired like the 
.scutellnm ;ntd is large, while the propodeum proper bears a median cariua ami is separated 
from the shorter, glabrous, transverse metatliorax by a foveate suture. Antenuie 12-jointed 
with one distinct ring-joint, the club 2-jointed, the flagellum not clavate but slender, sub- 
moniliform. the club not enlarged. Hind tibial spurs double. Antenna* inserted in the middle 
of the face. Mandibles normal, bidentate but the broad second tooth has its lateral angle 
.acute and jirojected. Submarginal vein distinctly broken. Axilhu widely separated. Both 
this genus and Kucijelocy'bomyia bear short marginal fringes on the fore wing.
