Carria paradoxa Schmiedeknecht, 1924 (Fig. 40)

This is the only species we report within the subfamily Metopiinae . Carria is a small and exceptional genus. Its face is entirely convex, the middle and hind tibiae have two spurs, the tarsal claws are simple and there is a closed areolet. Finally, the occipital carina is entirely absent ( TOWNES, 1971). Its mesosoma and metasoma are completely black, but the tibiae and the tarsi can be reddish brown (Fig. 40). Hosts are unknown.

First report for the Netherlands; unreported in Belgium.
