coxa above irregularly transversely wrinkled ; j)osterior tibia and posterior met a- 

 tarsus with some aciculae among the numerous s-maller stout setae, inner 

 posterior tibial spur over twice as long as outer, three-fifths as long as i)oste- 

 rior metatarsus; posterior metatarsus thrce-lourths as long as remaining tarsal 

 segments together, tooth of claw nuuih stouter and slightly longer than apical 

 ray. Wings hyaline, front wings with seven closed cells, subdiscoidal vein 

 well chitinized in distal portion of front wing, cubital vein but weakly so. 



Petiole about twice as long as distance from jxiint of articulation to cephali(! 

 margin of propodeum; polished, with some small ])unctures on dorsal and 

 lateral aspects. Abdomen compressed, polished, with a few pale setae on dor- 

 sum of segments. 



The holotj'pic male was collected at Teffe, Brazil, on January 

 20, 1920. A second male, a paraty]:);^, is from Iquitos, Peru, and 

 was collected March 4, 1920. 



Th(^ specimen from Peru differs sli<>;htly from the holotype in 

 that tlu^ interantennal carina does not extend so far doi-sad, 

 the posterior coxa is less wrinkled, and the tooth of the claw 

 is much longer than the apical ray. As the differences involved 

 are simply differences of degree, I have considered the specimens 

 as belonging to the same species.

Male. Length, 6.5 mm. 



Head, jjroximal portion of mandibles, scape, pedicel, proximal flagellar 

 segments, thorax, propodeum, anterior legs and proximal portion of hind 

 legs, and petiole, ferruginous. Dentes of mandibles, distal jjortion of fia'icl- 

 lum, and distal portion of hind legs, fuscous. Abdomen black. 



Head b(>l.)w antennae slightly convex, polished, minutely punctate, with 

 a small tul)(>rcle on fa(!e; clypcus separatcnl from malar space by a fuiiow 

 extending from near precoila dorsad, and an adjacent slight elevation; occii)ifal 

 orbits bro.ad, somewhat wider below than abov{>, polished, faintly punctate; 

 malar space nl)out three-fifths as hmg as eye; antennal basin limited below 

 by a V-shaped polished ridge; pedicel polished, minutely punctate; mandibles 

 sparsely, finely punctate and setaceous. Head above antennae slightlj^ 

 convex; with large, irregular, often confluent punctures. Head viewed 

 from above broader than thorax, transversely subciuadrate, proj{>cting 

 in region of antennal fossae; viewed from front with eyes somewhat con- 

 vergent below; oceHi arranged in a triangle, the lateral ocelli but slightly 

 farther apart than distance from inner margin of eye; with numerous 

 golden setae, most abundant below antennae. Antennae finely .setaceous, 

 inserted closer together than distant from inner margin of eye and below 

 middle of ej^es, with a feeble interantennal carina, fiagellar segments gradually- 

 decreasing in thickness from proximal to distal end; scape nearly foui- times 

 as long as distance from its articul;ition to iiuier margin of eve, four times the
