  Male. 
  — 
  Length 
  1.5 
  mm. 
  Almost 
  exactly 
  like 
  the 
  female 
  except 
  

   that 
  the 
  abdominal 
  gaster 
  in 
  dried 
  specimens 
  is 
  hardly 
  longer 
  

   than 
  broad, 
  compressed 
  dorsoventrally 
  and 
  truncate 
  at 
  apex; 
  

   petiole 
  very 
  nearly 
  twice 
  as

  scarcely 
  

   distinguishable 
  from

  a 
  

   little 
  more 
  loosely 
  articulated 
  and

  transverse 
  groove 
  setting 
  

   off 
  basal 
  segment 
  of 
  club 
  deeper 
  and 
  more 
  distinct. 
  Unlike 
  the 
  

   male 
  of 
  insf/Inrii-!, 
  the 
  male 
  of 
  scoli/firora 
  shows 
  no 
  visible 
  ring 
  

   segment 
  in 
  the 
  antenna, 
  the 
  funicle 
  is 
  6-segmented 
  and 
  the 
  club 
  

   distinctly 
  2-segmented.
