If we are right in our interpre- tation of the wings of these insects, there is preserved in each genus all of the primitive wing-veins with a single ex- ception. And, as in each of these genera a different vein is lost, we are able to make a figure of a typical wing from a. Fig. 7.—The cells of a typical hymenopterous ; study of the two genera. Figures 6 and 7 represent such a wing ; in the former the veins are lettered ; in the latter, the In the wings of these sawflies the anal furrow and the median furrow are both well marked, and are in the typical positions ; that is, the anal furrow is immediately in front of the first anal vein, and the median furrow is in front of the * The cell lettered 5 is probably Sci. When it is thickened and opaque, as is frequently the case in this order, it is termed the stigma. t Figures 6 and 7 represent the venation of the fore wing o{Pamphilius^ except that vein R„, which is lacking in this genus, is added. This vein is well pre- served in Macroxyela, but in Macroxyela vein Cu.^ is lost.
