open areolet. Abdomen as long as the thorax; the plate of first segment 

 is trapezoidal, about i times as long as wide at apex, with the hind 

 angles a little rounded; the plate and the second segment, and the third 

 segment, except at apex, but more feebly so, rugoso-punctate, the second 

 with a median ridge, rest of the abdomen smooth and shining; the second 

 segment is a little shorter than the third or at least not longer, while the 

 fourth and fifth united are scarcely as long as the third. 



rf '. Length 1.6 mm. Differs from 9 * n having the antennae longer 

 than the body, the scape brownish only beneath, the hind coxae pale at 

 apex, the hind femora at tips as well as the tips of their tibiae and their 

 tarsi, fuscous ; while the abdomen is depressed, with the plate of first 

 segment a little narrower in proportion to its width, it being fully if 

 times as long as wide at apex.

This species was first bred by Miss Murtfeldt, and is now in 

 the U. S. National Museum, labeled "from a gray Geometric! 

 on Oak, Aug. 12, 1886." It has also been bred by Dr. Dim- 

 mock from an unknown Geometric! feeding on Rubus.

 bles and legs ferruginous; all coxae black; terminal joints of anterior ^nd 

 middle tarsi, middle femora toward base, hind femora above, apical one- 

 third of their tibiae and their tarsi, fuscous or black ; hind femora beneath, 

 more or less rufous ; tibial spurs white. 



Head shining, the face subconvex, with a slight median carina above, 

 and minutely, closely punctate ; ocelli whitish: antennae nearly as long 

 as the body, black, the scape at extreme apical margin piceous. 



Thorax above, including the scutellum, minutely, closely punctate,

 punctures becoming less dense posteriorly, where there is a smooth, 

 polished median space ; metathorax moderately rugulose. with a delicate 

 median carina. Wings hyaline, the tegulae and stigma brown, the costal 

 nervure, parastigma and internal nervures pale or hyaline; first abscissa

 nervure a little longer than the second; discoidal and subdiscoidal veins 

 subobsolete. Abdomen not longer than the thorax, wholly black, except 

 the coxal fo\ eae which are piceous, and the lateral membranous margins of 

 the first segment which are honey-yellow; the plate of first segment is 

 trapezoidal, about i^ times as long as wide at apex, the plate and second 

 segment rugulosely punctate, the latter with a slight median ridge, and 

 very little shorter than the third segment; the third segment, except nar 

 rowly at outer basal angles, as well as all the following segments, is
