CRE.V1A3TU3 (CRE.MASTU9) BREVIPETIOLUS, new species. 



Female. — Length 9.5 mm., antennae G mm., ovipositor 3.5 mm. 

 Eyes very slightly longer than width of face; clypeus narrowly 

 rounded at apex, about two-thirds as long as intcrfoveal lino, foveo- 

 ocular lino about throe-fifths as long as interfoveal; malar space 

 about two-thirds as long as basal width of mandible; checks below 

 eyes straight, not at all rounded; face densely, minutely punctate, 

 head otherwise impunctate; temples weakly rounded; lateral 

 ocellar, postocellar, and ocell-ocular lines in proportion of 1:1.5;1.25, 

 ocelli 1. Thorax rather slender, propodcum gently sloping and 

 reaching about three-fourths of way to apex of coxae; pronotum 

 polished, somewhat weakly rugulose; notauli distinct and more 

 densely sculptured than surrounding area, prescutum more densely 

 punctate than lateral lobes; scutellum polished, sparsely punctate, 

 flattened above and with strong lateral carinae; mesosternum and 

 mesopleura rather densely punctate except in polished longitudinal 

 impression; sternauli weak; metapleura very weakly punctate; 

 propodeum with all, except basal, areas more or loss transversely 

 rugulose, especially apicallv, basal areas very sparsely punctate, 

 shagreened; areola and petiolar area separated, the latter much the 

 longer; hind legs, especially femora, rather stout, basitarsus about 

 two-thirds as long as tibia and nearly as long as remaining four 

 joints together, last joint barely two-thirds as long as third; stigma 

 about two-fifths as wide as long, radius slightly beyond middle; 

 second abscissa of radius nearly straight; second recurrent post- 

 furcal; basal vein nearly straight; nervulus interstitial; nervellus 

 perpendicular, nearly straight. Abdomen distinctly less than twice 

 as long as head and thorax united; first tergite barely as long as 

 propodeum; petiole with lateral carinae strong in front of spiracle, 

 but fading out toward base; sternite inclosed by tergite; postpetiole 

 rising but little above level of petiole; second tergite fully as long 

 as first, slightly more than three times as long as basal width, scarcely 

 wider at apex, longitudinally aciculate; first and second tergites 

 together much longer than remaining tergitcs united: ovipositor twice 

 as long as first tergite. 



Rufo-testaceous; head with face, mouth parts, and orbits yellowish- 

 testaceous, occiput and ocellar triangle black; scape and pedicel 

 pale, flagellum brown, paler at base; prescutum and lobes of mesos- 

 cutum slightly infuscatc; scutellum yellow, area surrounding it and 

 faintly involving basal middle of propodeum slightly infuscatc; legs 

 nearly uniform pale rufo-testaccous, the front coxae and all trochanters 

 slightly paler and hind tibiae and tarsal slightly fuscous; first three 

 tergites infuscatc at base, second with longitudinal median stripe 

 rcachincr about two-thirds of its length.
