 mesopleura highly polished, with a short oval longitudinal depres- 

 sion posteriorly; propodeum very weakly punctate, without areola 

 or costulae, shining ; radius of forewing about as long as the trans- 

 verse cubitus, and uniting with it in a strong angle ; nervellus curving 

 rather strongly behind toward base of wing; posterior coxae large, 

 smooth, and shining; inner spur of posterior tibiae a little longer 

 than the outer, and slightly longer than half the metatarsus ; abdo- 

 men exceedingly strongly compressed ; first tergite narrowing toward 

 apex, and more than twice as long as broad at base, weakly punctate 

 on apical half ; second tergite triangular, defined laterally by sharp 

 furrows, about half as broad at base as long down the middle, and as 

 broad at apex as long down the middle, and very weakly striate at 

 the sides; membranous margins along the two basal abdominal 

 tergites very broad; third and following dorsal segments 

 smooth and shining; hypopygium somewhat projecting; ovipositor 

 sheaths distinctly exserted but short. Black; antennal scape some- 

 what yellowish below; tegulae and wing-bases testaceous; stigma 

 and veins brown ; legs wholly testaceous, except the extreme base of 

 posterior coxae; lateral membranous margins on the two basal ab- 

 dominal tergites pale fiavous; third abdominal tergite brownish-

 opaque; anterior wing with the metacarpus distinctly longer than 

 the stigma, and the radius about as long as the transverse cubitus ;
