sally, rufous ventrally and- laterally except on prothorax; 
humeral and subalar spots, scutellum, and apex of propodeum 
yellow; legs pale testaceous; front cox and trochanters white; 
hind tibie slightly infuscate, calcaria darker, their tarsi white 
with apical joint and extreme base of first joint fuscous; wings 
brownish hyaline, venation fuscous, stigma slightly paler, radix 
white, tegula brown; abdomen black to piceous, a broad band 
at apex of second tergite and a large anal spot comprising part 
of the sixth and seventh tergites yellowish white; other tergites 
inconspicuously paler at apices; gastrocceli rufous. 
Male—Length, 9 millimeters; antenne, 9. Aside from the 
sexual differences mentioned in the generic description, the 
male differs from the female practically only in having the an- 
tennal annulus two joints farther out and the anal spot including 
only the apical middle of the sixth tergite. 
Type locality—Los Bafios, Philippine Islands. 
Other locality—Mount Maquiling, Luzon, Philippine Islands. 
Type.—Catalogue No. 24043, United States National Museum. 
Described from two females and two males received from C. F. 
Baker, the females from the type locality and the males from 
. Mount Maquiling. The paratypes differ in no essential partic- 
ular from the type and allotype. 
Genus ELASMOGNATHIAS Ashmead 
The receipt from Prof. C. F. Baker of seven specimens of this 
genus representing four species furnishes bpportaiaity. for fur- 
ther discussion of the genus. 
Ashmead was in error in regard to the ected of palpal joints. 
Both the labial and maxillary palpi are normal in this respect, 
the former being four-jointed and the latter five-jointed. 
Ashmead also erred in the proportions of the scape, which in 
his type specimen is not more than two and a half times as 
long as thick. The notauli are very briefly and shallowly in- 
dicated anteriorly. The areola may be longer than wide, as in 
Ashmead’s type, or wider than long, this variation occurring 
within a species. The nervellus is typically amblyteline, like 
half of a brace above and straight below the fracture. The 
mandibles are curiously twisted in such manner as to bring 
both teeth into the same plane as the face and clypeus. 
In addition to the characters mentioned by Ashmead, the fol- 
lowing are worthy of note: Head polished, entirely or prac- 
tically impunctate except face, which is finely, weakly so; malar 
space long; cheeks, temples, and vertex buccate; ocelli placed
