THEODORE H. PRISON 21 



Alitrunk scarce!}' longer than high, about one-third again as long as broad; 

 with numerous pale setae. Pronotum forming a narrow collar distinc^tly 

 visible from above; humeral angles somewhat angular and punctate. Meso- 

 scutum with deep parapsidal and faint traces of lateral grooves; highly f)olish(>d 

 and impunctate excejjt for a very few small punctures. Mesoscutellum with 

 a few large puntures along cephalic margin adjacent to deep transverse suture, 

 somewhat convex, highly polished, disk almost impunctate. Metanotum 

 rather long, one-half as wide as first flagellar segment, coarsely sculptured. 

 Propodeum cephalad of articulation of petiole convex, divided into two areas 

 by a transverse row of large punctures; the anterior area polished and with 

 some small punctures, the smaller posterior area highly polished and impunc- 

 tate. Propleura narrow, concave, wrinkled. Mesopleura with dorsal por- 

 tion, except for elongate depressed area in cephalo-dorsal angle, highly polished, 

 impunctate; ventral portion and anterior swelling polished, minutely punc- 

 tate; caudo-dorsal angle impunctate. Metunajjleura with ventral area, 

 except along interpleural suture where it is impunctate, irregularly retic- 

 ulate, limited above by a wide, polished, imjiunctate area; this latter area 

 sharply limited above by large, irregular reticulations; sulcus weakly devel- 

 oped. Truncature almost flat, reticulate, with numerous pale setae. The 

 articulation of petiole slightly cephalad of metacoxal fossae, the truncature 

 rather steeply ascending to metacoxal fossae; metunapleura somewhat sub- 

 ((uadrate in outline. Metasternal processes distinctlj' cleft and slightly diver- 

 gent at distal ends. Posterior tibia and posterior metatarsus with irreguiar 

 rows of aciculae among the numerous setae; posterior coxa above with distal 

 portion punctate. Inner posterior tibial spur much longer than outer, above 

 one-half as long as posterior metatarsus; posterior metatarsus and remaining 

 tarsal segments together of nearly equal length; tooth of claw longer and stouter 

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



Petiole somewhat less than three times as long as distance from \vnni of 

 aiticulation to cephalic margin of propodeum, with a longitudinal carina on 

 lateral aspect, polished and impunctate. Abdomen compressed, polished, 

 somewhat triangular in outline. 



In many respects related to B. rcticulifer and B. fraterna 

 Enderlein, described from Peru. 



Two specimens from Iquitos, Peru. 



Holotype collected on May 18, 1920. Paratopotype collected 

 on the same date. 



This species is named after Mr. H. S. Parish, who has collected 

 so many new species of insects in South America. 



EVANIA Fabricius 



The genus Evania, in the sense of Kieffer, is represented in this 

 collection by twelve specimens, separable into nine species. 

 There are specimens from ])oth Brazil and Peru.
