and segment twelve is curved, flattened toward the apex, which is 

 bhintly rounded. The middle femur below near the apex is slightly 

 roughened but can not be said to be dentate. The second sternite 

 bears a median sharp-pointed process and the sixth a small wedge- 

 shaped process whose apex does not extend to the apical border of 

 the sternite. The seventh bears a median carina. The seventh ter- 

 gite is coarsely punctuate and bears distinct lateral ridges but showt 

 neither lateral angles nor lateral spines. It is sinuate laterally and 

 is broadly rounded at the apex, which is slightly emarginate at 

 midline. 



Allotype (female). — Black: labrum; mandibles, except tips; cly- 

 peus, except pair of large black spots; pair of small spots on frons 

 near vertex ; broad anterior orbits shortened above ; posterior orbits ; 

 sinuate fascia on posterior border of pronotum; side of prothorax, 

 except irregular longitudinal spot which includes anterior part of 

 tubercle; narrow lateral line above base of wings and broken trans- 

 verse posterior discal mark on scutum; narrow fascia on posterior 

 and lateral margins of scutellum; narrow fascia on metanotum; 

 narrow curved fascia on propodeum, extended, enlarged, and inter- 

 rupted on its posterior surface ; spot on lateral angle and larger an- 

 terior spot on side of propodeum; spot on metapleura; large spot 

 on mesopleura; continuous fasciae on tergites 1-5, first much nar- 

 rowed medially, second inclosing pair of black spots and deeply 

 emarginate at anterior midline, third inclosing pair of black spots, 

 fourth and fifth biemarginate on anterior border and together with 

 the second and third all strongly sinuate at posterior median border ; 

 lateral spots on sternites 2-5 extended inward but not forming con- 

 tinuous apical lines; femora in part; tibiae, except line above and 

 below on all ; and tarsi ; pale or soiled white. 



The flagellum is black above, ferruginous below, becoming much 

 lighter in color toward the apex. The second sternite is shining 

 and bears numerous coarse punctures scattered over tlie disk, and 

 the sixth is coarsely punctate and distinctly carinate mediall}' on its 

 apical half. The sixth tergite is slightly sinuate laterally and much 

 narrowed toward the apex, which is roundly pointed. 



The wings of this species are hyaline and the second abscissa of 

 both radiella and cubitella is present. The pubescence on head, 

 thorax, propodeum, and base of abdomen is long, dense, and whitish 

 in color. The frons between the antennae and the base of the cly- 

 peus are distinctly carinate. Of the female paratypes, two differ 

 from the allotype in having a pair of narrow discal lines in addition 

 lo the broken transverse line on the scutum; while a third differs 

 in having no discal mark on the scutum and in having the fascia on
