male type is crushed on a slide but many of the important characters 

 are shown in Figure 137. 



Scape concealed beneath crushed head. Pedicel plainly longer 

 than wide and a trifle shorter than first funicle joint. First funicle 

 almost imperceptibly shorter than the third; second funicle joint 

 plainly the longest; all of about same width and ventrally articu- 

 lated so that the shape is not symmetrical, the ventral margin being 

 the longest. Club large, about as long as first two joints and half of 

 third funicle joint combined, and about one and one-half times as 

 wide as third funicle joint (fig. 48). 



Scutellum wider than long and furnished with three pairs of 

 bristles. Each axilla with two setae. Each parapsis with three 

 setae. Mesoscutum crushed, but on one-half there are about twenty- 

 five setae and on the posterior margin there are two longer setae 

 comparable in size with those of scutellum. On either side of ter- 

 gites one, two, and three are two paired setae which are rather large 

 for a delicate species; on either side of the fourth are five setae in 

 transverse alignment. 



Fore wings small, slender, clothed with rather coarse cilia. Mar- 

 ginal vein slightly longer than submarginal. Wing shown in Figure 

 83. Stigmal and postmarginal veins shown in Figure 93. The light 

 brownish stripe mentioned by Girault no longer visible. 



In life, the ovipositor may be shortly exserted. It is distinctly 

 shortly exserted in the type specimen but this may be due to crushing. 



Girault's description of the coloration is as follows : " Orange 

 yellow; lower face, pronotum, propodeum, and immediate base of 

 abdomen dusky. Abdomen black with a broad silvery white band 

 across just out from base (occupying a little over a third of the 

 surface). Legs except proximal half of coxae, silvery white. An- 

 tennae lemon yellow, distal club joint dusky. Fore wings with a 

 light brownish stripe across them beginning a little distad of proxi- 

 mal third of marginal vein and ending a little distance distad of 

 venation." 



Measurements in mm. : Girault gives the length of female as 0.70. 

 Fore wing, length 0.562; w^idth 0.19. Length of marginal vein 0.18; 

 length of submarginal 0.15. Longest marginal fringe 0.0224. Middle 

 legs, length of five tarsi combined 0.16; length of basitarsus 0.0656; 

 length of tibial spur 0.0582. Pedicel 0.04 long by 0.028 wide. First 

 funicle joint 0.0448 long by 0.0216 wide ; second funicle joint 0.0616 

 long by 0.0256 wide; third funicle joint 0.0520 long by 0.0240 wide; 

 first club joint 0.0432 long by 0.0360 wide ; second club joint 0.0428 

 long by 0.0360 wide ; third club joint 0.0464 long by 0.0304 wide.
