 acle cephalad. Foveae along the cephalic margin of the propodeum 

 minute, confluent. Cross-suture of scutellum, faint, delicate. Post- 

 marginal vein subequal to the stigmal. Clypeus subtruncate, ad- 

 vanced. Ring-joints short, subequal. 



A female, open woods, May, Glenndale, Maryland. 



Ty2)e.— Cat. No. 20878, U.S.N.M. The specimens on a tag, the

Parasyntomocera Girault, Chalc. Nova Marilandensis, II, 1917, p. 2. 

 Belongs to the Tridymini. Antennae inserted a little below

 Parapsidal furrows well defined, complete. Propodeum with a 

 median carina only, the spiracle very minute, round cephalad (about 

 its own diameter from the cephahc margin). Abdomen ovate, not 

 compressed, slightly larger than the thorax. Scape not long.
