DESCRIPTION OF A NEW GENUS IN THE APHELININÆ

Extract

Myiocnema, new genus.

This new genus falls in a table of the genera of the Aphelininæ next to Encarsia, Forster, the antennæ being 8-jointed and the club in the female being 2-jointed.

The head is transverse thin antero-posteriorly, the occiput concave, the vertex impressed; the thorax has several long bristly hairs, and the parapsidal furrows are distinct but very delicate, almost invisible; the front wings have a large discoidal cloud beneath the marginal vein as in Coccophagus orientalis, Howard, the stigmal vein is distinct, not very short, but still shorter than the marginal vein and a tittle shorter than the post-marginal, the marginal vein being a little longer than half the length of the submarginal vein.
