THEODORE II. PRISON 15 



densely juinctate, in length six times distance from its articulation to inner 

 margin of eye, somewhat longer than pedicel and first flagellar segment to- 

 gether; pedicel less than one-half as long as first flagellar segment, longer 

 than wide; second flagellar segmcuit nearly as long as first flagellar segment 

 and pedicle together, about one-third again as long as third. Antennal fossae 

 with lateral rims elevated, polished, impunctate. 



Alitrunk nearly two and one-half times as long as broad, almost twice as 

 long as high; with numerous golden setae, most abundant ventrally. Pro- 

 notum forming a very narrow collar visible from above, much wider laterall}% 

 humeral angles slightly angular. Mesoscutum with distinct, almost parallel 

 I)arapsidal grooves, lateral grooves but weakly impressed; densely, minutely 

 punctate along cephalic margin, remainder of area, except for a few small 

 punctures along parapsidal grooves, impunctate and highly polished. IVIeso- 

 scutellum impressed along cephalic margin adjacent to transverse suture by 

 a row of moderately large, subquadrate punctures; remainder of area finely 

 and densely punctured laterally, disk polished and with scattered small 

 pimctures. Metanotum comparatively long, nearly as long as pedicel, coarse- 

 ly reticulate. Propodeum cephalad of articulation of petiole reticulate, 

 except for a small, elevated, finely longitudinally striated area on middle 

 portion near cephalic margin and a small elevated, polished impunctate area 

 at base of petiole. Propleura punctate about humeral angle, lower two-thirds 

 concave impunctate, polished. Mesopleura with dorsal half, except for small 

 impressed area in ccphalo-dorsal angle, impunctate; and highly polished: anter- 

 ior swelling and ventral portion with small scattered punctures and numerous 

 minute punctures; caudo-dorsal angle with an oblique row of several punctures; 

 sulcus prominent. Metunapleura with a ventral moderately punctate area, 

 limited above by an oblique carina and shallowly depressed, impunctate, 

 polished sulcus; doisad of this latter an area with rows of irregular, subquad- 

 rate reticulations. Truncature nearly flat, with numerous gol(l(>n setae, 

 coarsely reticulate. The articulation of petiole twc -thirds of length of 

 petiole cephalad of metacoxal fossae, metunai)leura subquadrate and about 

 one-half the length of petiole caudad of base of petiole, abruptly sloping off 

 to metacoxal fossae. Metasternal processes long, slender, liistal cndis slightly 

 divergent. Posterior tibia and posterior metatarsus with prominent aciculae 

 among numerous setae; posterior coxa above sparsely, moderately i)unctate, 

 polishetl. Inner posterior tibial spur twice as long as outer, and one-half as 

 long as posterior metatarsus, posterior metatarsus longer than remaining 

 tarsal segments together; tooth of claw much longer and stouter than apical 

 ray. Wings hyaline, front wings with three closed cells. 



Petiole slightly over twice as long as distance from point of articulation 

 to cephalic margin of propodeum; striate and reticulate on lateral aspect, 

 dorsum with scattered coarse punctures more niunerous on the distal half; 

 with sparse golden setae. Abdomen depressed, polished, with ;i few pale 

 setae at apex. 



The hirgc'st species of this <2;enus thus fur (lescril)e(h 

 One s])ecinieii, thi' holotype, collected Aju'il 2G, 1920, at 

 Yuriniaguas, Peru.
