Figure 314,a 



Front wing 5.7 to 6.8 mm. long; body moderately stout, rather 

 depressed; frons unarmed; clypeus about 2.8 as wide as long, almost 

 flat, its apex a little reflexed, its apical margin wealdy convex, with 

 a faint median lobe; mandible about 3.2 as long as it is wide at the 

 middle, its upper tooth a little longer than lower tooth; subapical 

 part of female flagellum a little widened, and flattened below (cylindric 

 and not widened in all other Nearctic genera except Joppidium and 

 some species of Compsocryptus) ; mesoscutum moderately convex, 

 polished, with moderately coarse, rather distant punctures; notaulus 

 weak, not reaching quite to center of mesoscutum; epomia absent; 

 propodeum rather stronglj^ convex, its transverse carinae complete 

 and sharp, the apical carina not forming sublateral crests; propodeal 

 spiracle long elliptic; areolet moderately large, pentagonal, its sides 

 rather strongly convergent; ramellus present; nervulus approximately 

 opposite basal vein; mediella very weakly arched; nervellus broken 

 far below the middle; axillus close to anal margin; fu'st abdominal 

 segment rather stout, rather strongly widened toward apex, its spiracle 

 near its apical 0.44, its base without a distinct basolateral tooth, its 

 ventrolateral carina sharp throughout, its dorsolateral and median 

 dorsal carinae blunt and rather indistinct, the latter reaching basal 

 part of postpetiole; second tergite wealdy mat, its punctures fine,
