long fringes ; mandibles tridentate ; basal nervure absent, Postmarginal 

 vein as long as the marginal or slightly longer. 



Agreeing with vielleus Ashmead, in general colour, but differing in 

 that the first funicle joint is slightly wider than long, not twice longer than 

 wide, distinctly not half the length of the pedicel ; also all the other 

 funicle joints are distinctly wider than long. Also agreeing with 

 ochraceus Ashmead, but the abdomen is not striated longitudinally (ex- 

 cepting basally at the second and third segments), the antennae not 

 marked with brown-black, the wings not subhyaline, but deeply fumated 

 and with rather long fringes. 



General colour honey-yellow, the vertex and sides of abdomen in- 

 clined to be darker ; eyes dark, naked ; all appendages concolourous 

 excepting wings, which are deeply fumated throughout, the fumation 

 deepened somewhat under the stigmal vein and including its knob. 

 Vertex and mesonotum rather coarsely, reticulately punctured, the punc- 

 tures not deep. Ocelli pallid. Venation dusky. 



Fore wings much shorter than the abdomen, petiolate, the blade 

 ovate and fringed wth moderately long, silky marginal fringes, the longest 

 of which are about two-thirds the wings greatest width ; apex obtusely 

 pointed. 



Stigmal vein long and slender, ending in a small knob ; the marginal 

 vein very short, punctiform, the postmarginal vein moderately short, about 

 a fourth the length of the stigmal ; discal ciliation of the fore wings dense, 

 short, uniform ; a half dozen or more long bristles from the venation. 

 Strigil present on cephalic legs. Abdomen depressed rounded ovate, the 

 first and second segments longitudinally striated at base, the ovipositor 

 exserted slightly, very slender. 



Antennae 7-jointed, capitate, the club large, solid, compact ovate, the 

 scape long and cylindrical, longer than either the club of itself or the 

 funicle plus the pedicel ; the latter about equal to the first three funicle 

 joints combined (no ring joint), or slightly shorter ; funicle plus pedicel 

 subequal in length to the club ; first funicle joint subquadrate, slightly 

 wider than long, the other three funicle joints transverse, subequal, a third 

 shorter than the first. Pubescence of antenna short and sparse.
