Female - Colour: Body black, fulvous are: labrum; mandible except base; posterodorsal and posterolateral margins of pronotum; parapterum; tegula; deflexed lateral sides of tergites 2-7; all sternites; all legs except apical 1/3 of hind tibia. Wings hyaline; venation including costa, subcosta and stigma light brown. Structure: Average length 5.5 mm. Antenna long, 3.3 times head width; scape longer than broad; pedicel as long as its apical width; segment 3 longer than 4 as 6:5; clypeus (Fig. 1) very slightly incised; labrum broader than long, ratio 3:2, with rounded anterior margin; LID:IDMO:EL = 4:4:3; malar space as long as diameter of median ocellus; postgenal carina absent; hind orbits not carinated; supraclypeal area triangularly raised without any carina; supraclypeal pit deep and well marked; supraantennal pit absent; frontal area raised slightly above level of eyes; supraantennal tubercles and frontal ridges indistinct, median fovea shallow with a shallow anterior pit in between antennái sockets; post-, inter- and circumocellar furrows merely indicated; lateral furrows shallow, pit-like, just behind lateral ocelli postocellar area subconvex, broader than long as 3:1; head narrowing behind eyes; POL:UOL:OCL:UCL = 4:4:3:2; mesoscutellum almost flat; appendage neither carinated nor grooved; tarsal claw (Fig. 16) with a subapical tooth shorter than apical one, basal lobe absent; hind basitarsus longer than following 3 joints combined, ratio 6:5; IATS:MB:OATS = 7:12:4. Lancet (Fig. 20) with 19 serrulae. Ovipositor sheath as in Fig. 6 (lateral view) and Fig. 11 (dorsal view). Sculpture and pubescence: Head densely covered with irregular, minute tubercles instead of punctures, surface subshining; mesonotum with very minute, shallow, isolated punctures; rest of thorax and abdomen impunctate with general oily lustre. Male - Not found. Specimen examined - 2 females, Meghalaya, Elephant Falls (Shillong), 1450 m, 22-24. 4. 1990. Distribution - India, Meghalaya. Diagnostic combination - The present specimens comply with the available description of the species. A combination of some distinct characters such as scape longer than broad; antennái segments 3 and 4 as 6:5; malar space of the diameter of median ocellus; postocellar area broader than long as 3:1; POL:UOLOCL:UCL = 4:4:3:2, etc. make N. nigricornis quite distinct from rest of the species dealt herewith. Nematus maculipodus sp. n. (Figs 2, 5, 10, 15,21) Female - Colour: Body black; whitish yellow are: anterior half of clypeus; labrum; deflexed lateral sides of tergites 3-5 and of 6th more or less; sternites 3-6, extreme apices of all coxae; all trochanters and adjoining parts of all femora; tibiae and tarsi of fore and middle leg; basal 1/3 of hind tibia. Fuscous are: upper surface of tergites 3 and 4. Wings hyaline; venation including costa, subcosta and stigma dark brown to piceous. Structure: Length 7 mm. Antenna long, 2.1 times head width; scape slightly longer than its apical width; pedicel as long as broad; segments 3 and 4 equal; clypeus (Fig. 1) shallowly incised with rounded lateral teeth; labrum broader than long as 3:2; LID:IDMO:EL = 3:3:2; malar space as long as diameter of median ocellus; postgenal carina absent; hind orbits not carinated; supraclypeal area subquadrately tectiformly
