THEODORE H. FRISON 1 1 



from above broader than thorax, transversely subquadrate, about twice as 

 ))road MS loiij;-, but sh'ghtly convex in region of antennal fossae; \ie\ve(l fioni the 

 front with ocellar area distinctly elevated, eyes slightly obli(|ue: ocelli large, 

 arranged in a triangle, lateral ocelli nearly three times asfar apai't as distance 

 from inner margin of eye; with scattered golden setae, longest on face. Anten- 

 nae inserted well below middle of eyes, densely, finely setaceous, {lagellar 

 segments of nearly equal thickness through out; scape with setae longer and 

 more sparse than on flagellum, length over twice distance from its articulation 

 to inner margin of eye, longer than ]iedicel nnd first two flagellar segments to- 

 gether; pedicel slightly over one-half as long as first flagellar segment; second 

 and third flagellar segments of equal length. 



Alitrunk one-third again as long as broad, slightly longer than high; with 

 numerous, erect golden setae. Pronotinn not forming a collar visible from 

 above, humeral angles somewhat angulnr. Mesoscutum without parapsidal 

 or lateral grooves, with mmierous, large, rounded punctures. Mesoscutellum 

 impressed along cephalic margin adjacent to transverse suture with large, 

 deep jnmetures; remainder of area with large rounded punctures. Meta- 

 notum narrow, moderately depressed, coarsely punctate. Propodeum ce})h- 

 alad of articulation of petiole, except for a small, elevated, polished, imj^unctate 

 area at base of petiole, with punctures somewhat smaller than those on meso- 

 scutellum, limited laterally by reticulations of lateral aspect. Propleura 

 mostly polished and impunctate. Mesopleura with dorsal half impunctate, 

 polished, with a few oblique, rather carinate ridges; cephalo-dorsal angle 

 with several shallow impressions; caudo-dorsal angle with a single, large 

 puncture; anterior swelling with a row of small punctures parallel to depress- 

 ed sulcus, punctures cephalad and ventrad more numerous and minute. 

 Metunajjleura with a ventral coarsely punctate area, sharply limited above 

 by an oblicjue carina and depressed sulcus; sulcus impunctate, except for a 

 row of large punctures adjacent to the- ventral limits; dorsad of this lattcn- 

 an area of fine, irregular, oblique carinae, limited above bj' large, irregular, 

 subquadrate reticulations. Truncature setaceous, nearly flat, reticulat(% 

 except for a small, bare, polished area below middle on the centrtd portion. 

 The articulation of petiole almost directly dorsad of or vertical to metacoxal 

 fossae, the metunapleura subquadrate in outline. Metasternal j)rocesses 

 divergent at distal ends. Posterior tibia and posterior metatarsus with long 

 stiff spinulae among the numerous setae; posterior coxa punctate on distal 

 half, setaceous. Posterior tibial spurs almost e(iual in length, somewhat over 

 one-third the length of posterior metatarsus; j)osterior metatarsus much 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 slightly over twice as long as distance from point of articulation to 

 cephalic margin of propodeum; with sharp longitudinal carinae on dorsal 

 and lateral aspects, with a few, weak punctures between the striae; si)arsely 

 setaceous. Abdomen compressed, polished, with a few jxalc setae on dorsum.
