36 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.78 



This is a medium sized species with a large scutellum furnished 

 with three pairs of strong bristles. Mesoscutum with strong setae. 

 Eyes distinctly hairy. 



Mesoscutum and axillae rather coarsely reticulated. Metanotum 

 with striae on sides. Propodeum with a strong sublateral carina on 

 either side. 



Pedicel plainly longer than wide and more than one-half as long 

 as the first funicle joint. First funicle joint the longest, about 

 twice as long as wide; succeeding two joints successively shorter; 

 all almost imperceptibly increase in width distad; third about one 

 and one-third times as long as wide. Club slightly wider than the 

 funicle and not so long as the funicle joints united (fig. 26). 



Fore wings probably slightly infuscated, at least under the veins. 

 Disk of wing clothed with rather coarse and abundant cilia. 

 Arrangement of cilia at base of fore wing shown in Figure 85. 

 Marginal vein slightly longer than the submarginal. Detail of 

 stigmal and postmarginal veins as shown in Figure 120. Post- 

 marginal vein developed a trifle more than usual. 



Abdomen small, shorter than the thorax. Ovipositor hardly 

 exserted. 



Basitarsus of middle legs about as long as the succeeding three 

 joints united; tibial spur slightly shorter than the basitarsus.

13. COCCOPHAGUS MARIFORMIS, new species 



Plate 7, Figure 27 ; Plate 11, Fi^re 114 ; Plate 13, Figure 148 



The arrangement of the cilia on the basal part of the fore wing, 

 the male-like character of the antennal sensoria, and the enlarged 

 stigmal vein are good characters for the recognition of this species. 



Female. — Head mostly orange yellow; face marked with iri- 

 descent pearly white; occiput blotched with fuscous. Antennae 

 yellow ; outer side of scape pearly white, the dorsal margin dusky. 

 Thorax orange yellow except as follows: pronotum, anterior mar-
