The species comes nearest to C. hasalis, but it is slightly larger, the 

 relative length of the flagellar joints diflferent, the legs pallid yellow, 

 the wings hyaline, while the sculpture is wholly different. 



Ceraphron basalis, sp. nov. 



S 9. Length, 0.8 to 1.2™™. Head and thorax polished black; ab- 

 domen rufous or rufo-piceous, yellowish at base; scape, and sometimes 

 the pedicel, and two or three of the basal flagellar joints, and the legs

 of scape, subclavate, the joints 2 to 5 transverse, the 5th longer and 

 wider than the 4th, Gth and 7th quadrate, the last fusiform, as long as 

 the 6th and 7th nnited. In the ^ the flagellum is filiform, IJ times as 

 long as the body, or about 5 times as long as the scape, jjale brown, the 

 first joint the longest.

 and myself. 



Its smaller size, very highly polished, impunctate surface, and the 

 difterence in the antenna} and color of wings at once distinguish it 

 from C. pallidiventris.
