198 Notes on the Morphology of Chalcidoidea 
the cell outlines raised chiefly ventrally. 3 stout anterior bristles in a vertical 
row below ^ and 3-^ minute posteriorly above the trochanter and about the 
same number on the posterior edge apically. Trochanter prominent, in side 
view helm-shaped, broadened before the femur, with a patch of long bristles 
(about 10) towards the apex anteriorly and 3-4 more in a ventral row; posteriorly 
are only 2-4 minute bristles. Femur (3:1) triangular in cross section, with 
3 surfaces, antero-dorsal, antero-ventral, and posterior. Mainly along the 
blunt edge between the anterior surfaces, from base to apex, is a broad belt of 
bristles (2-3 deep) which up to f are fine rising inconspicuously. Towards and 
at the apex the bristles, much longer (nearly half the length of the tibia) and 
thicker, rise from large pustules. Above this belt the femur is extensively bare, 
8-9 subdorsal bristles, in 2 irregular rows, on apical over dorsal edge 14-16 
short bristles appear. Antero-ventral surface below the belt bare; postero- 
ventrally a minute subapical tooth; ventral row 6-8 fine bristles. Posteriorly 
the femur is nearly bare; 15-16 short bristles in 2 subdorsal rows beginning 
before 7-8 more on apical \ of which 2-3 (subapical) are stronger. Tibia 
(3:1) narrowed on basal much swollen dorso-ventrally; distinctly shorter 
(17 : 20) than the femur and rather heavily chitinised dorsally. Anterior 
subdorsal row 9-11 bristles; 5-6 more towards apex where there is an irregular 
transverse row 3-4. Tibial spur exceeding 1st tarsal joint. Hivd legs, coxae 
(4:3) 4 short apical bristles anteriorly and 1 (stouter) subapically on ridge 
above trochanter. Posteriorly about a dozen bristles on apical half. Femur 
(rather over 3:1) anteriorly bare subdorsally to the middle from base to near 
apex, elsewhere covered with bristles not closely set; posteriorly 11-13 bristles 
in 2 subdorsal rows; 15-17 in median and sub-median rows; ventral row 5-7. 
Tibia barely longer than femur, evenly set with bristles on both asp»ects but 
barer on antero-basal quarter. Besides the normal (posterior) apical comb (14 
spines) there is an irregular anterior comb of about 9 spines. Apical spur as 
long as 1st joint of tarsus. The tarsal joints being longer have a few extra 
bristles, e.g. on I there are 3 stout lateral above the antero-ventral spines, and 
^2-3 on the same surface elsewhere; 5 postero-ventral spines with 2 above; 
a pair of dorsal bristles behind the apical pair.

Abdomen. Smooth but the posterior tergites tend to be raised in minute jwints 
near their hind margins. Spiracles small, stylets with 10 bristles (5 : 5) between 
and a patch of about 12 outside each, of these 4 near the stylets are stronger. 
Genitalia. Tooth of the clasper very short.
