ART. 7 REVISION OF COCCOPHAGUS COMPERE 69 



The exact proportions of the scape, pedicel, and first funicle joint 

 are not easily seen and there may be a slight error due to the fact 

 that these joints are partially obscured and shriveled. Scape sub- 

 cylindrically fusiform, somewhat more than four times as long as 

 wide. Pedicel more than one and one-half times as long as wide 

 and about equal in length to first funicle point. First funicle 

 joint shortest, slightly more than twice as long as wide; second 

 and third successively longer and wider and each about twice as 

 long as wide. Club strongly developed, its basal joint slightly 

 shorter than third funicle joint and plainly wider, about one and 

 one-half times as wide; second as long as first; third a trifle longer 

 than preceding (fig. 46). 



Mandibles partially obscured but apparently not greatly unlike 

 those of G. ochraceus Howard. 



Scutellum transverse, plainly much wider than long and plainly 

 shorter than mesoscutum. Median piece of metanotum large, trans- 

 verse (fig. 143). Abdomen crushed, showing ovipositor sheaths 

 shortly exserted. 



The vestiture of the mesonotum appears about as shown in Fig- 

 ure 143. On the anterior portion of the mesoscutum, the setae are 

 obscured, as are the setae of the parapsides, and only one seta re- 

 mains on the axillae. It is likely that the vestiture is similar to that 

 of the male, which is revealed more distinctly and is described in 

 more detail. 



Fore wings hyaline, veins light, disk densely clothed with moder- 

 ately coarse cilia. Marginal fringe moderately long, 0.0344 mm. 

 Wings somewhat more than twice as long as wide. Submarginal 

 vein slightly longer than marginal vein. Postmarginal shortly 

 produced. Stigmal vein as shown in Figure 132. 



Tibial spur of middle legs as long as basitarsus; basitarsus as 

 long as three succeeding joints united. 



Length approximately 0.8 mm. The specimens will not allow an 

 accurate measurement. 



Male. — Unlike the female in coloration and in antennal charac- 

 ters. Male antennae of the same structure as G. ocliraceus Howard. 



General color slightly brownish yellow or perhaps ochraceus, 

 with fuscous or dark-brown markings as follows: Meson of prono- 

 tum, anterior margin of mesoscutum of the meson, propodeum be- 

 tween spiracles, basal angles of abdomen, and about the posterior 

 half of the abdomen except the apex. A portion of each axilla 

 faintly dusky. 



Funicle and club not differentiated. Joints of flagellum ventrally 

 articulated, dorsal margins at apex cut away, furnished with numer- 

 ous sensoria which extend entire length of each segment. Pedicel 

 short, apparently wider than long. Flagellar joints subequal in
