expected. The elongation of the wing is especially evident basal to 
the discal cell. The alula is very narrow and the anal angle is very 
broadly rounded, the region posterior to the anal cell being no wider 
than the cell itself. 
The type specimen of Archisolva carinifrons shares the following 
characters with members of Salduba which are useful in identifying 
the genus (these characters cannot be considered autapomorphic 
for Salduba because they are present in other pachygasterine taxa): 
(1) antennal flagellomeres one to seven forming an elongate but 
compressed complex 2.5 to 3.5 times longer than wide; (2) eighth 
flagellomere forming a long, plumose style much longer than the 
rest of the flagellum; (3) second antennal segment produced inter¬ 
nally along the flagellum; (4) scutellum unarmed; (5) wing with R 2 +3 
proximal to r-m; and (6) abdomen much longer than wide. It should 
be noted that Enderlein’s figure of the antenna of Archisolva 
carinifrons (1921: 187, Fig. 7) shows its general form, but the 
majority of the eighth flagellomere is missing, and the angle at 
which he illustrated the antenna does not show the projection of the 
second segment along the flagellum. 
Salduba has previously been unrecorded from the Oriental 
Region. Previous material has been collected mainly from New
