TRIASPIS FISKEI, nev/ species. 



This species may be readily separated from most of the American 

 species by the very short, almost truncate, third tergite, and by the 

 black hmd tibi?e and tarsi. 



Female. — Length, 4.5 mm. Clypeus with large punctures; laterally 

 these punctures may become confluent; front shining, with a number 

 of large setigerous punctures; vertex shining, practically impunctate; 

 antennae 32-jointed; third and fourth joints subequal; beyond the 

 fourth joint the joints gradually decrease in length; prescutum ante- 

 riorly with shallow, poorly defined punctures, posteriorly more sparsely 

 punctured and the punctures well defined; scutum punctured only 

 along the notauli; notauli foveolate posteriorly where they form a 

 U ; suture between the scutum and scutellum with fine fovese; scutel- 

 lum shining, impunctate; dorsal aspect of the propodeum shining 

 with a few poorly defined, shallow punctures divided by a strong 

 longitudinal median carina; posterior aspect of the propodeum 

 coarsely reticulate, without any defined areas; first tergite strongly 

 striato-reticulate, laterally the striae predominating, medianly the 

 reticulations predominating; second tergite striato-reticulate, later- 

 ally the striae predominating and curved toward the middle so the 

 apical margin in the middle is transversely striato-reticulate, medi- 

 anly reticulations predominating; third tergite about one-fourth 

 shorter than the second, the lateral angles rounded, in the middle 

 truncate, covered with fine longitudinal striae. Black; clypeus, 

 mandibles except apices, scape, lower margin of the pronotum and 

 malar space rufo-piceous; palpi pallid; tegulae yellowish brown; legs 

 except apical two-thirds of the hind tibiae and all of their tarsi which 

 are brownish, reddish yellow; wings hyaline; costa and stigma rather 

 dark brown; venation pale brown.
