Head subtriangular, very broad behind the eyes; first cubital cell 

 receiving the first recurrent nervure near the middle ; nervures of 

 the posterior wings obliterated, except the costal and a trace of the 

 anal ; posterior coxje of the female greatly prolonged internally ; 

 tarsal claws with no teeth beneath. See Plate XI, Fig. 10. 



This genus was founded on an interesting unique female collected 

 by I'Abbe Burque in Quebec.

9 . — "Length 7.5 mm. ; ovipositor about two-thirds length of the abdomen. 

 Black, with the first segment of the abdomen red, the second joint of the front 

 and middle trochanters and the bases of their tibiae testaceous, the remainder of 

 the legs black (all, however, are broken off about the middle of the tibiae, so that 

 I am not quite certain that the tips of tlie tibiae and the tarsi are black). The 

 head is quadrate, above smooth and highly polished, with only a few scattered 

 punctures; in front, below the front ocellus to the insertion of the antennae, it is 

 transversely rugulose ; while beneath the antenna^, except the lower inner angles 

 of the malar space, which are smooth and polished, it is closely, irregularly punc- 

 tate. The mandibles are black, with a riifo-piceous tinge basally. Palpi fuscous. 

 The thorax is rugosely i)unctate, the mesonotum with numerous transverse 

 ridges and complete parapsidal furrows. Wings hyaline, or at most only faintly 

 tinged, the stigma and veins being black or brown-black, the first recurrent nerv- 

 ure being received by the second cubital cell only a little beyond the middle, 

 while the third cubital cell is more or less divided into two by a spurious stump 

 of a vein, which originates from the cubitus a little before the apex of the second
