clothed with long whitish hairs which are particularly conspicuous on

 ing level of anterior ocellus, cylindrical, and slightly curved; pedicel 

 two and one-half to three times as long as thick; ring joint a little 

 longer than broad ; first funicular segment about as long and as broad 

 as pedicel, following segments gradually decreasing in length and in- 

 creasing in thickness, the seventh funicular segment a little broader 

 than long ; club about as long as three preceding segments combined, 

 not thicker than last funicular segment, obliquely truncate at apex. 



Prothorax short, conical, strongly sculptured; mesoscutum longer 

 than broad, uniformly and strongly sculptured, and rather densely 

 clothed with moderately long whitish hairs; concave medio-posterior 

 portion of mesoscutum as strongly sculptured as prescutum; parap- 

 sidal grooves deeply impressed; scutellum a little longer than broad, 

 nearly circular, strongly sculptured, and more sparsely clothed with 

 longer hairs; axillae sculptured like scutellum; propodeum deeply 

 triangularly emarginate medially, its surface smooth, polished, and 

 bare except for a dense row of white hairs along the lateral margin ; 

 metanotuni with a rounded flangelike elevation medially just behind 

 apex of scutellum ; mesosternum and mesopleuron strongly sculptured, 

 clothed with short, whitish hairs except that the posterior half of 

 mesopleuron is bare. 



Forewing a little more than two and one-half times as long as 

 broad; marginal vein not over twice as long as stigmal vein; post- 

 marginal vein a little longer than stigmal; costal cell mostly bare, 

 but with some weak discal cilia basally and with abov.t 8 to 10 rather 

 long hairs arranged in an irregular row on the under surface of wing 

 near the apex of cell and adjacent to the curved portion of submar- 

 ginal veins ; area of wing behind straight portion of submarginal vein 

 bare except for a few very weak cilia in the basal angle; rest of wing 

 surface densely ciliated ; marginal cilia very short. 



Anterior femur broad, broadest between middle and apex ; anterior 

 tibia slightly thickened and about equal to femur in length; middle 

 tibia with four short, blunt spines on its apical margin; calcarium 

 of middle tibia about two-thirds as long as basitarsus; hind femur 

 somewhat broader basad than distad of its middle and without a 

 carinate ventral margin; hind tibia compressed, about as broad as 

 femur, its posterior margin sharp and with a fringe of rather coarse, 

 pale hairs. 



Abdomen ovate, about as long and as broad as thorax, strongly 

 sculptured and hairy except first and second segments, which are 

 dorsally bare and practically smooth; liypopygium extending to ap- 

 proximately the apical third of abdomen; ovipositor exserted ap- 

 proximately one-fourth the length of abdomen.
