( 149 ) VI. A Monograph of British Braconidae. Part III. By the Kev. T. A. Marshall, M.A., F.E.S. [Read December 5tb, 1888.] Plates X. & XI. XVI. CALYPTIDES. Abdomen sessile. Fore wings with 2 cubital areolets, the 1st separated from the praediscoidal ; recm'rent nervure rejected ; radial areolet lanceolate, not reaching the apex of the wing ; prae-discoidal areolet petiolated ; axillary areolet closed by an oblique transverse nervure. Terebra elongate. The two genera here brought together by authors are so different in appearance that their association seems hardly natural ; the structure of their abdomen varies in some important respects. They agree, however, in the combination of a sessile abdomen with 2 cubital areolets, characters not found united in any other sub-family except the Blacides and Liophronides. These two have the axillary areolet of the fore wing open ; in the Calyptides the same areolet is closed. On the other hand, the Calyptides have the podiscoidal areolet of the fore wing closed, while it is half open in the Blacides and Liophronides. Abdomen showing 8 segments above ; the 1st much longer than broad . . . . . . . . . . . . i. Eubadizon. Abdomen seldom showing more than 3 or 4 segments above, the rest more or less retracted ; the 1st not or hardly longer than its apical breadth . . . . ii. Calyptus. i. EuBADizoN, Nees.
