The type-specimen ( Ç ) from Oamara belongs either to hrachygaster or to distincta. ïhe maie type (Paris Muséum) referred to in the description of the female is according to the sketches of the anal a[)pendages a quite difïerent species, neilher brackygaster nor distincta. l give hère a drawing (fig. 3) of the arnal appendages of a maie belonging to what I considerto be Cenlr. edàx Walker. As to the structure, markings and colour of the body, the legs and the wings, that species has much likeness to brachygaster and distincta, but the dark bands of the veins in the forewings are probably more uumerous. In the area of the cubital fork of the forewing is a small, rather indistinct dark spot. Of that species 1 haye on!y seen spécimens from West Africa.
