Generic characters (of male, female unknown). - Flagellum of antennae with all joints except first much longer than wide. Front beset with minute secondary punctures which are much more numerous than the primary ones. Mouth opening about'as wide as long; labium less than twice as long as wide; palpi large, the maxillary palpus much longer" than basal joint of maxilla. Polished submandibular triangle broad and conspicuous. Mandible not denticulate at apex outer face with a medianlongitudinal groove between upper and lower grooves. Maxillary palpi with six joints, labial with four. Lateral clypeal margin obliquely straight; its median extension truncate, with an impunctate margin defined by an even row of setiferous punctures. Mouth posteriorly separated from occipital carina by a distance a sligthly more than half length of labium. Occiput lateral of eye densely micropunctate. Pronotum not reticulate, its transverse anterior carina enclosed medially. Sides of pronotum without a groove across center, but with fine, anastomosing rugae on their ventral corner. Mesoscutum without antero-median escarpment between notaulices. The prepectal carina prominent and extending from base of tegula to ventral aspect of mesosternum. Mesepisternum on the posterior slope with a thin premarginal groove. Metanotum gibbose. Hind coxa with an elongate, conspicuous carina between upper and inner faces; this carina armed apically with a blunt denticle. Hind tibia on the inner aspect with a sensorium in a deep pit. Tegula broader than long, with normally developed marginal impression. Fore wing with first part of radius not sharply bent at middle and without a vetigial spur of vein. Radial cell shorter than the second cubital cell in its apical extension. Propodeum with areola longer than wide; with only one transverse carina. Side of propodeum with upper rugose part sharply separated from lower finely aciculate part. First tergite elongate, nodose apically and not broadly sessile with second segment; without an anterior transverse carina dorsally, and without a depressed sensorial area on lateral aspect. Second segment also without, transverse carina; fifth sternite with lateral sharp denticles; similar processes not found on preceeding sternites. Hypopygial median impunctate stripe of uniform width. Remarks. - This genus is known from a single specimen. Related to the genera Tiphia FABRICIUS and Icronatha NAGY in general aspect of body but differs from both in shape of first abdominal segment and in numerous fine features as indicated in above diagnosis. Particularly, Tiphia males have the radial cell conspicuously longer than the second cubital cell in its apical extension. Tegula longer than broad and hind tibiae and also the basitarsus with sensorial groove in Icronatha males. The form of the first tergum is unique in the Tiphiinae, and the very long process of the vulsella is also unusual Cabaraxa compedita sp. nov. (Figs. 1, 2) Male (Fig. 1). - Length about 10 mm; fore wing 7 mm. Body black; fore wing veakly infuscated, veins dark brown. Clypeal median extension with its apex shallowly emarginate, having a narrow, impunctate margin of uniform width; clypeal disc conspicuously shagreened and clothed with sparse pubescence; clypeo-antennal distance equal to apical width of clypeal extension. Front alutaceous, median carina well developed; primary punctures large, on anterior half from eye to eye their diameter more than two times exceeding width of narrow interpunctal spaces; area of punctures of first-degree density extending upward on sides to level of lowest ocellus; secondary punctures sparse on lower third. Vertex with punctures back of and between ocelli and near inner margins of eyes of second-degree density. Antenno-ocular distance about equalling the diameter of an antenna! fossa. First four antenna! joints in a ratio of about 30 : 10 : 20 : 40;
