Pimpla sangninipes, n. sp.

 and, including coxae, sanguineous, four posterior tarsi more or less obfuscated; 

 abdomen robust, densely and coarsely punctured, except narrow apical mar- 

 gins and two or three apical segments which are smooth and shining; oviposi- 

 tor about half the length of abdomen. Length .45 inch. 



One specimen. (Coll. Gr. W. Belfrage.) Easily distinguished from
