Thorax and abdomen sub- equally long, latter 5-segmented; scutellum unarmed. Third vein simple, 2nd nearly erect; discal cell 5-sided, only two veinlets issuing from it;' the 3rd absent, and 3rd and 4th posterior cells therefore united. Range. India, Java. The absence of the 3rd veinlet from the discal cell might make the species appear to belong to the PachygastrinvE, but in that subfamily the fifth posterior cell is in full contact with the discal, through the posterior cross-vein being absent. 57.
