10 NEW NEOTROPICAL EVANlIDAE (hYMENOPTERa) 



impressions; caudo-dorsal angle with a single large puncture; ventral portion 

 and anterior swelling with a few, scattered, rather small punctures, polished. 

 Metunajileura with a ventral coarsely punctate area, sharply limited above 

 by an oblique carina and depressed sulcus; sulcus polished and imi)unctate, 

 except for several punctures near ventral limits; dorsad of this latter an isos- 

 cles-shaped triangular area of somewhat parallel reticulations, limited above 

 by three rows of subquadrate reticulations. Truncature setaceous, nearlj' 

 flat, with reticulations somewhat similar to those on uppermost of metuna- 

 pleura. The articulation of i)etiole almost directly dorsad of or vertical to 

 metacoxal fossae, the metunajileura subquadrate in outline. Metasternal 

 processes rather long and slightly divergent at distal ends. Posterior tibia and 

 posterior metatarsus with long, stiff spinulae among the numerous setae; 

 posterior coxa above punctate and setaceous on distal half. Posterior tibial 

 spurs nearly equal in length, less than one-half the length of posterior meta- 

 tarsus; posterior metatarsus longer than remaining tarsal segments together; 

 tooth of claw shorter than apical ray. Wings hyaline; front wing with one 

 closed subcostal cell, median vein well formed. 



Petiole somewhat less than twice as long as distance from point of ar- 

 ticulation to cephalic margin of projjodeum; longitudinally and obliquely 

 striate on lateral aspect, striae on dorsum interrupted by coarse punctures; 

 with numerous golden setae on dorsum. Abdomen compressed, polished, 

 with a few pale setae on caudo-dorsal margin of segments. 



This species is apparently related to H. amazonica Schlettcrer 

 and varieties, from which it can be separated by the differences 

 in the comparative length of the petiol?, color and scidpture. 



Three specimens from Parintins, Brazil. 



Holotype, October 3, 1919. Paratopotypes, September 27,
