Extract

An interesting, highly unusual chalcidoid wasp was found recently for Dr. L. Masner in material collected for him by Mr. F. M. Oliveira from Brazil. This unique specimen proved to belong to an undescribed genus in the subfamily Aximinae of the family Eurytomidae. It keys to the genera Axima Walker and Conoaxima Brues in Burks’ (1971) key to the genera of Eurytomidae, but differs in a number of morphological characters discussed below.

The structure and sculpture of this unique female specimen are illustrated by scanning electron photographs, the wings and antennae by macrophotography.
