Extract
The new species described in this paper was received from Richard Le Pelley, Government Entomologist, Kenya Colony, British East Africa, for identification. A new genus Eurymyiocnema is erected for its reception. This genus is most closely related to Myiocnema Ashmead, which was placed by its author in the “Aphelininae”, although subsequent authors have regarded Myiocnema as belonging to the Elasmidae. Eurymyiocnema is placed in the Aphelinidae, and the opinion is expressed that Myiocnema, as well as Euryischia Riley, are out of place in the Elasmidae, since both of these genera resemble Aphelinus Dalman much more closely than they do Elasmus Westwood.
