TEROBIA FLORA, new species. 



Female. — Length, 1.85 mm. 



Metallic coppery (the legs except the coxae laterad and the anten- 

 nae reddish yellow) and like the species of Habrocytus but the anten- 

 nae are inserted in the middle of the face, the scrobes distinct, the 

 propodeum with a median carina and a cross-carina distad of middle 

 (laterad to a point opposite a basal fovea which represents the lateral 

 carina) and rugae from the cephalic and caudal margin toward the 

 cross-carina out as far from the meson as the site of the lateral carina 

 (absent) and this space otherwise glabrous, no propodeal neck. Head 

 and thorax with pubescence as in Catolaccus, the parapsidal furrows 

 complete. Head and thorax evenly finely punctate, the scutellum 

 simple. Segment 2 of the abdomen occupying about a fifth of the 

 surface, its caudal margin deeply concaved and at meson slit in a 

 straight line to base or nearly (like a suture). Rest of abdomen 

 scaly except distal margins broadly of each segment. Venation 

 very pale. Clypeus striate, sharply incised at meson. Funicle 1 

 quadrate, half the length of the pedicel. The male has the coxa 

 also yellow, the postmarginal vein only a little longer than the 

 stigmal (as in the female), while the abdomen has a yellow stripe 

 across it a little out from base and the marginal vein is short. 



From one female, many males reared from fig, Cocoanut Grove, 

 Florida, May 16, 1887.
