wings with a single brownish stripe in middle. With two hooklets on subcostal vein. Abdomen with 7 segments, second tergite longest and broadest. Tibiae with a single spur at apex. Tarsi 5-jointed. Abdomen as in subfamily Telenominae. Differs from Isolia Foerster by the colour of the fore wings, by the form of the head and the mandibles, furthermore by the form of the thorax and the strongly compressed body. Generotype : Pulchrisolia gen. nov. maculata sp. n. Ç Pulchrisolia maculata sp. n. Ç 0. Head transverse, about four times as broad as long, about two and a half times as high as long. Cheeks, temples, front sculptured, cutaneous. Ocelli forming a triangle, hind ones more removed from eyemargin than from each other. Mandibles unidentate, a bit projecting on inner surface. Scape strongly thickened in distal 2 / 3 about four and a half times as long as wide, nearly as long as six following joints together. Pedicel pyriform, about as long as two following joints combined, about three times as long as broad. First funicle joint as long as but narrower than following one, third joint narrower than 4. cupuliform, subequal in length to fourth joint, 5. closely affixed (as if fused) to club, but narrower and shorter than latter, cupuliform thicker than all preceding joints. First club joint longer but narrower than second, last joint longer than second, gradually weakened towards tip. Thorax shorter than abdomen, praeseutum visible only at sides, strongly reticulated. Mesoscutum with fine indistinct cutaneous sculpture. Scutellum irregular, subquadrangular, smooth and shining, with longitudinal ridge on both sides. Hairs of propodeum forming an irregularlv undulating, translucent, silvery, velar membrane. Propleurae smooth and shining, with a single protrunding ridge across tegulae and fore coxae. Mesopleurae with trans\ersal lines on upper half, smooth and shining on lower half. Metapleurae with strong, dense, silvery hairs. Forewings without marginal ciliae. Hind wings with long ciliae on posterior margin. Petiole hardly \isible, with indistinct, scarce hairs on upper surface, distinctly hairy below. Second tergit longest and broadest, with two longitudinal carinae on proximal half, each bordered by a shallow groove along inner side, otherwise smooth and shining as all subsequent tergites. Head and club of antennae dark brown, body brown, legs and mandibles light yellowish. Described from a single female specimen, taken by K. K ittenberger at Shirati (East-Africa) May 1909.
