NO. 2332. VARIOUS NEW SPECIES OF HYMENOPTERA—GJRAULT. 199 



with a pair of very narrow, long median carinae and a lateral carina. 

 Petiole a little over twice longer than wide, with the carinae longwise 

 (dorsal aspect). Segment 2 of abdomen occupying a little over a 

 third of the surface, 3 half its length (that of 2), the others short. A 

 tuft of black hairs at the distinct break of the submarginal vein, the 

 latter as long as the long marginal, the stigmal of moderate length, 

 long for the tribe, not sessile, a little shorter than the postmarginal. 



The male is similar but has a very slender flagellum, its funicle 

 joints (4) nodular at base, their slender portions not twice the length 

 of the more or less ovate nodules, the club solid but apparently 

 2-jointed by a constriction a little before its middle, its terminal 

 spine distinct, the club somewhat longer than the funicle joints, its 

 two parts and the funicular nodules clothed with long silky hairs. 

 Ring-joint in the male obsolete, the pedicel smallest. Male antennae 

 7-jointed. 



From a pair from the West Indies and identified by Ashmead. 

 Description of female thorax, abdomen, wing and caudal leg from 

 the type of H. grenadensis Howard.
