TWO GENERA OF CHALCID-FLIES — GAHAN 347 



ning of curve in siibmarginal vein, dark fuscous from that point to 

 apex of stigmal vein, and subfuscous from there to apex. Abdomen 

 mostly dark brown with apex of first tergite, all of second, and most 

 of third paler on dorsum. 



Malar groove distinct; malar space equal to about one-third length 

 of eye; ocellocular line a little shorter than the diameter of an 

 ocellus; posterior ocellus ubout one and one-half times its own 

 diameter in front of occipital margin; antennae long, weakly clavate; 

 scape very nearly reaching anterior ocellus; pedicel two and one-half 

 times as long as broad at apex; ring joint very nearly as long as 

 broad; fourth segment of anterna about three times as long as broad; 

 following segments successively a little shorter, the tenth approxi- 

 mately one-third longer than broad ; club somewhat longer than two 

 preceding segments combined, obliquely truncate. Mesonotal scapulae 

 and medio-posterior portion of mesoscutum with sculpture only 

 slightly less distinct than that of prescutum ; scutellum with approxi- 

 mately 50 black bristles of varying lengths; propodeum behind the 

 spiracles obviously but weakly reticulated, spiracles elliptical and 

 large. 



Forewing nearly three and a half times as long as broad, marginal 

 vein nearly four times as long as stigmal ; postmarginal vein about a 

 half longer than stigmal ; costal cell finely ciliated on approximately 

 the basal half, entirely bare medially, its apex beyond the point where 

 submarginal vein starts to curve toward anterior margin of wing 

 densely ciliated; area behind submarginal vein basad of curve in 

 vein bare except for a moderately broad streak of rather coarse cilia 

 running obliquel}^ distocaudad from the basal angle of wing, this 

 streak broadest basally, tapering distad, and terminating before 

 reaching the heavily ciliated discal area of wing; surface of wing 

 distad of curve in submarignal closely ciliated. 



Middle tibia with four or five short, blunt spines on outer apical 

 margin ; posterior femur a little broader beyond than before the mid- 

 dle, with a very distinct though narrow flange on a little more than 

 one-third its ventral margin apically; posterior tibia strongly com- 

 pressed, about as broad as femur. 



Abdomen as long as head and thorax combined, a little narrower 

 than thorax; ovipositor sheaths exserted about one-third length of 

 abdomen. 



Two paratypes from Maryland agree in nearly every particular 

 with the holotype except that one of these is slightly darker in color, 

 the posterior legs being almost entirely brownish black.
