densely so, notauli deep; scutellum sparsely punctate, -with lateral 

 carinae extending to apex; mesoscutum and pleura below densely 

 punctate, polished and obliquely striate above; sternauli rather 

 strong; metapleura also densely punctate; propodeum with carinae 

 strong throughout, areola and petiolar area separated, the latter 

 somewhat the longer, about two-thirds as wide as long, areola a 

 little narrower; apical areas obscurely transversely rugose, others 

 densely punctate, except basal lateral areas, wliich are very sparsely 

 so; stigma about half as wide as long with radius at apical third; 

 second discoidal cell about three-fifths as wide at base as at apex; 

 norvellus antef ureal, broken very near base; hind legs rather stout, 

 basitarsus three-fifths as long as tibia and as long as rest of joints 

 united. Abdomen twice as long as head and thorax, first two ter- 

 gites slightly longer than rest united, first longer than second; 

 petiole strongly carinate above, sternite not inclosed, lower edges of 

 tergite parallel; postpetiolo elevated above level of petiole, striate; 

 second tergite nearly four times as long as wide at base, sides parallel, 

 striate; ovipositor about twice as long as first tergite. 



Rufo-testaceous ; head darker with mandibles and clypeus inclined 

 to yellowish and vertex slightly infuscated; antennae black, scape 

 and pedicel paler; thorax nearly uniform rufo-testaceous with notauli 

 and scutellum inclined to yellowish; tegulae and wing bases strami- 

 neous; wings hyaline, veins and stigma blackish; front and middle 

 legs yellowish stramineous; hind coxae testaceous, trochanters and 

 apices of femora stramineous, femora otherwise brown, tibiae and tarsi 

 fuscous, the latter slightly paler; first and second tcrgites black, post- 

 petiole piceous, remaining tergites considerably darker than thorax 

 with more or less black in basal middle. 



Male. — Length 7.5 mm., antennae 6 mm. Differs from female as 

 follows: Eyes scarcely longer than width of face; postpetiole narrow, 

 parallel-sided beyond spiracles, not swollen, and not elevated above 

 level of petiole ; second tergite only about three times as long as wide 

 at base, distinctly wider at apex; hind basitarsus relatively shorter. 



Face, orbits, mouth parts, scape and pedicel yellow; occiput, 

 vertex, and front black; prescutum spot in front of scutellum, space 

 between wings and scutellum, and propodeum above black or black- 

 ish, scutellum yellow. 



Type-locality. — Monticcllo, Florida. 



Host. — Teiralo'plia suhcanalis Walker. 



Type.— Cat. 20271, U.S.N.M. 



Described from three females and three males, all reared from the 

 same host by A. I. Fabis, under Quaintanco Nos. 10563, 10564, 'and 

 10565. The male is rather remarkable for the genus in that the 

 occlU are not especially larger than in the female.
