Female. — Length 3.5 mm. Head with rngulose sculpture ; viewed 

 from in front broader than high, subtrianguhir in outline, subtrun- 

 cate at the mouth, the cheeks nearly straight, and about as long as the 

 height of eyes, vertex nearly straight ; antennae inserted at the mid- 

 dle, face very broad with a tuberculiform swelling on the median line 

 just below the antennae; antenna nearly twice as long as the height of 

 head, the flagellum moniliform, not at all clavate; scape slightly com- 

 pressed; pedicel only a little longer than broad; ring joints small; 

 funicle apparently six-jointed, the first joint together with the ring- 

 joints about one and one-half times as long as pedicel, second and 

 third joints subequal, each slightly longer than broad and distinctly 

 shorter than the first joint; fourth, fifth, and sixth joints subequal 

 and subquadrate; club 2-jointed, the joints subequal in length and 

 each barely longer than broad. Pronotum rugulose with a few ob- 

 scure umbilicate punctures; mesoscutum and scutellum similarly 

 sculptured but with the umbilicate punctures more numerous and 

 more distinct although very shallow and irregular, subopaque; parap- 

 sidal grooves deep and foveolate; propodeum rugose, with a shal- 

 low depression medially which is sculptured within like the rest of 

 propodeum and is without carinate margins; marginal vein about 

 twice as long as postmarginal, the stigmal and postmarginal sub- 

 equal ; abdomen as long as the thorax, broadly fusiform in outline, not 

 conically pointed at apex and not compressed from the sides, the 

 doT-sum more or less flattened ; first tergite comprising approximately 

 one-third the length of abdomen, following tergites subequal, the 

 fourth and fifth slightly longer than the second and third. Black, 

 lateral anterior angles of the pronotum with a pale yellow or whitish 

 spot which is scarcely visible from above ; all knees and all tarsi more 

 or less bro vanish or piceous; Avings hyaline, the submarginal vein

 Antennal scape distinctly swollen beneath betAveen middle and apex; 

 pedicel subspherical ; ring joints minute; flagellum beyond the ring 

 joints composed of seven joints which are not at all differentiated 

 into funicle and club, the joints incised at apex, the first fully three 

 times as long as thick with several whorls of long blackish hairs; 

 second joint shorter, slightly more than twice as long as thick; 

 following joints subequal, each a little shorter than the second and 

 like the second each with a basal and a subapical whorl of long 

 hairs; median depression on the propodeum obsolete or very incon- 

 spicuous; abdominal petiole moderately thick, not quite twice as
