except at the apex, the femora and slightly more than the basal half of 
the tibiae, black ; wings hyaline, the nervures pale testaceous ; ovipositor 
half the length of the hind tarsi ; broadly banded with white, the 
black basal part half the length of the apical ; the spurs are almost 
white ; the spines on the underside of the middle tarsi black. $ . 
Length 2 mm.; terebra ^ mm. 
Bred from Lac in November. 
The marginal vein is slightly longer than the submarginal and is 
thickened at the apex ; the stigmal branch is a little thickened at the 
apex where there is a short projection on the upper side. Parapsidal 
furrows distinct, as is also the transverse furrow at the base of the 
scutellum. Abdomen not quite so long as the thorax ; its apex broadly 
rounded. In certain lights the flagellum of the antennae is seen to be 
metallic blue. The pubescence is short, sparse and white. The antennal 
scape does not reach to the ocelli; the 3rd and 4ith joints are about equal 
in length ; the apical are dilated and compressed. 
A species of an allied genus of Eupelmince , Anastatus tachardice , 
Howard, is, in Ceylon, parasitic on Tachardia albizia. 
Encrytinae. 
Lissencyrtus , gen. nov. 
Slender, as long as the head and thorax united, antennae, clearly 
separated from the apex of the clypeus, opposite the lower edge of the 
eyes, the scape slender, longish, not quite half the length of the 
flagellum, not reaching to the ocelli; the pedicle about 3 times as long 
as thick, the 2nd joint of flagellum nearly as long as it, the next twice 
longer than thick, the following about as long as thick, the apical 4 
forming a club, not very clearly separated. Ocelli in a triangle, the 
lateral close to, but not touching the eyes, which are large, hardly 
converge above and are separated above by twice the length of the 
antennal pedicle. Malar space half the length of the eyes, a narrow, 
but distinct furrow down it. Front, face and clypeus continuous, 
forming a broad rounded keel. Labrum only visible when viewed from 
below. Mandibles short, broadly rounded at the apex; the teeth 
indistinct. The front forms a triangular depression in the centre. 
Mesonotum as long as the scutellum, which becomes gradually narrowed
