Maxillary palpi obsolete, or rudimentary, consisting of a small tubercle; the labial palpi four-jointed, the mentum short, broadest at the base; the first joint of the labial palpi longer than the mentum, the second of about one-third the length of the first, the two apical jomts minute, placed on the side near the apex of the seco d jomt.

Note.—The generic characters are given at length in conse- 282 HYMENOPTERA. quence of the errors discovered in those of St. Fargeau im the ‘ Histoire naturelle des Insectes’; after a careful microscopic examination of several individuals of this genus, only rudiment- ary palpi or a small tubercle has been found im the maxille ; St. Fargeau gives six joimts in his characters. The genera Me- soplia, Hopliphora and Mesonychium of St. Fargeau are stated by that author to agree with the genus Mesocheira in the cha- racter of the oral organs; on a careful examination of those parts they are found to differ very widely, and the difference in the number of spines which arm the large calcaria of the inter- mediate tibiae cannot be considered as affording anything beyond specific distinctions. 1.
