Female. — Length, 2.8 mm. Face narrowing below so that it is 

 narrower at base of clypeus than at the insertion of the antennae, 

 no broader than long, and somewhat punctate and opaque; vertex, 

 temples, and cheeks likewise weakly punctate and opaque; meso- 

 scutum linely uniformly punctate and dull; disk of scutellum 

 longer than broad at base, flat, and smooth, with only a few indis- 

 tinct punctures at the sides, and rather shining; suture at base of 

 scutellar disk so narrow that the numerous pits within can scarcely 

 be distinguished; the smooth and polished area on the lateral face 

 of scutellum not extending anteriorly halfway to the base of the 

 disk; mesopleura smooth and \^x^ highly polished; propodeum 

 somewhat punctate and shining, but with a shallow areola, which 

 is not sharply margined; apical angles of propodeum projecting 

 strongly; radius of forewing much longer than transverse cubitus; 

 posterior coxae somewhat punctate, rather shining, a distinct oval 

 flattened or sunken area at base above; spurs of posterior tibiae 

 equal in length and not half as long as the metatarsus; abdomen 

 very slender, as long as the thorax, almost four times as long as 

 its extreme breadth; first tergite parallel-sided, very slender, at 

 least twice as long as broad at apex, very finely ruguloso-striate, 

 with a slightly depressed, shining, median longitudinal area on 

 apical half; second tergite transverse, more than three times as 

 broad as long down the middle, and longer medially than at the 

 sides, the posterior margin being decidedly curved, broader at 

 apex than at base, and very finely ruguloso-striate, like the first 

 tergite ; rem^-inder of the abdomen smooth and shining ; hypopygium 

 sword-like, very slender and strongly projecting; ovipositor sheaths 

 slender and longer than the abdomen. Black; antennae entirely 

 black; tegulae, all coxae, posterior trochanters, both edges of pos-

 terior tarsi, also ovipositor sheaths, and the A^enter of the abdomen,
