the posterior aspect rugosopunctate or nearly and separated from the 

 superior aspect by a convex ridge which is not sharp and with a low 

 rather angular prominence on each lateral edge in the middle, the 

 superior aspect rather irregularly coarsely sculptured with a rather 

 distinct median, longitudinal, rounded off, low carina, sides of meta- 

 thorax with transverse striae, each stria being nearly as coarse as the 

 longitudinal carina on the superior aspect ; wings hyaline, excepting 

 the stigma and veins, which are dark brown, and a stain occupying the 

 greater portion of the apical half of the wing, which is brown, hirsute, 

 with shorter hairs than on the body; the hairs are also of a different 

 kind and dark. 



Abdomen with a distinct anterior aspect to the first dorsal segment, 

 separated from the dorsal aspect by a transverse, curved carina ; 

 segments along the apical margin with a fringe made up of apparently 

 single and rather appressed hairs ; pygidium bounded on each side and 

 apically by a rather distinct carina. 



Type, female and male No. 12252 U. S. National Museum, 

 Washington, D. C. 



Type locality, Lakehurst, N. J. 



The type female and male and three paratopotypes were 

 submitted to the writer for determination by Prof. John B. 

 Smith. Another specimen, a paratype, was collected by Mr. 

 V. A. E. Daecke at Brown's Mills Junction July 21, 1907. 



Female 6.5 mm. Differs from the description of the male as follows : 



Longest hairs seemingly shorter than the twelfth joint of the Mitenme. 



Head, shortest distance between posterior ocelli somewhr.t shorter 

 than the distance between lateral ocellus and nearest eye margin, clypeus 

 black ; mandibles with hardly a rounded angle on the inner edge, 

 castaneous throughout, pedical as wide and about as long as the first 

 joint of the flagel scape easily twice as long as -its greatest width or 

 about equal to tht combined length of the pedicel and first and second 

 joints of the flagel, most of the joints of the flagel subequal and wider 

 than long. 



Superior aspect of metathorax with a triangular enclosure formed 

 by two oblique lateral lines, the enclosure bisected by a longitudinal 

 raised line ; wings with the apical fourth and greater part of the third 

 fourth brownish, the brownish portion streaked with .faint hyaline 

 lines. 



At least the apical half of pygidium with adjoining punctures, except- 

 ing the pygidium the apical dorsal segment of the abdomen is rugose 

 or recticulate rugose. 



Female paratype from Lahaway, N. J., August 1, 8 mm. 

 long, with the second transverse cubitus wanting in the left 

 wing and represented in the right wing by an abscissa nearly 

 one-third as long as the hypothetical second transverse cubitus.
