  and 
  the 
  sculptured 
  area 
  obviously 
  more 
  extensive, 
  embracing 
  most 
  

   of 
  the 
  area 
  betw^een 
  the 
  eyes 
  from 
  a 
  little 
  below 
  the 
  anterior 
  

   ocellus 
  to 
  oral 
  margin 
  but 
  smooth 
  along 
  inner 
  orbits 
  ; 
  raised 
  plate 
  

   between 
  antennae 
  very 
  faintly 
  aciculated 
  dorsally, 
  narrowly 
  ellip- 
  

   tical 
  anteriorly 
  and 
  not 
  perpendicularly 
  truncated 
  but 
  sloping 
  

   gradually 
  from 
  just 
  below 
  antennae 
  to 
  oral 
  margin; 
  labrum 
  

   broadly 
  rounded 
  anteriorly; 
  scrobal 
  grooves 
  relatively 
  shallow 
  

   and 
  extending 
  upward 
  a 
  little 
  less 
  than 
  half 
  the 
  distance 
  from 
  

   antennal 
  foveae 
  to 
  anterior 
  ocellus; 
  neck 
  of 
  pronotum 
  a 
  little 
  

   more 
  strongly 
  reticulated; 
  petiole 
  of 
  abdomen 
  a 
  little 
  broader 
  

   than 
  long 
  and 
  nearly 
  twice 
  as 
  wide 
  at 
  base 
  as 
  at 
  apex 
  ; 
  ovipositor

  approximately 
  one-third 
  the

  gaster. 
  

  

  Male. 
  — 
  Length 
  2.5 
  mm. 
  Very 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  female 
  except 
  

   antenna 
  somewhat 
  longer 
  and 
  abdomen 
  squarely 
  truncate 
  at 
  apex. 
  

   Antenna 
  with 
  10 
  distinct 
  segments 
  and 
  with 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  indica- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  another 
  division 
  on 
  the 
  club; 
  scape 
  approximately 
  four 
  

   times 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  thick, 
  somewhat 
  thickened 
  in 
  apical 
  half; 
  pedicel 
  

   longer 
  than 
  thick; 
  funicle 
  6-segmented, 
  the 
  first 
  segment 
  very 
  

   slightly 
  shorter 
  than 
  pedicel, 
  about 
  one 
  and 
  one-half 
  times 
  as 
  long 
  

   as 
  broad, 
  following 
  segments 
  subequal 
  to 
  the 
  first 
  in 
  length 
  but 
  

   successively 
  increasing 
  slightly 
  in 
  width, 
  the 
  fifth 
  and 
  sixth 
  a 
  

   little 
  broader 
  than 
  long; 
  club 
  a 
  little 
  broader 
  than 
  last 
  funicular 
  

   segment 
  and 
  a 
  little 
  longer 
  than 
  two 
  preceding 
  segments 
  com- 
  

   bined, 
  its 
  first 
  segment 
  closely 
  resembling 
  a 
  funicular 
  segment 
  

   but 
  a 
  little 
  less 
  distinctly 
  set 
  off 
  from 
  the 
  following 
  segment. 
  

   Abdominal 
  petiole 
  about 
  as 
  broad 
  as 
  long, 
  faintly 
  sculptured 
  and 
  

   broader 
  at 
  base 
  than 
  at 
  apex; 
  basal 
  segment 
  of 
  gaster 
  apparently 
  

   broadly 
  but 
  not 
  deeply 
  emarginate 
  at 
  apex.

  Neosciatheras 
  is 
  unknown 
  to 
  me 
  except 
  by 
  the 
  description. 
  The 
  

   genotype, 
  N. 
  laticeps, 
  described 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  paper 
  as 
  the 
  genus, 
  is 
  

   based 
  upon 
  a 
  single 
  female 
  collected 
  in 
  the 
  Seychelles 
  Islands.
