7. Third tergite entirely fulvous; propodeum without a median black stripe; 

 upper 0.4 of mesepimeron fulvous: subterminal brown band on front wing 

 usually not fused posteriorly with apical band (fig. 352). 



11. excincta, new species 

 Third tergite with a basal blackish band; propodeum with a median longitu- 

 dinal black stripe; upper 0.4 of mesepimeron black; subapical brown band 

 on front wing fused posteriorly with apical band (fig. 354) .

FEMALES 



1. Body and legs entirely black; wings yellow with only the apical margin 



fuscous (fig. 351) 10. flavipennis, new species 



Body and legs largely or entirely fulvous or ferruginous; wings colored other- 

 wise 2 



2. Front wing almost uniformly dark brown 3 



Front wing subhyaline or yellow, with brown bands 5 



3. Third tergite with a black band on its basal 0.3 ±; mesoscutum dull, mat, 



and with very fine close punctures 4. retentor (Brull6) 



Third tergite uniformly ferruginous; mesoscutum shining, subpolished, with 

 moderately fine, rather close punctures 4 



4. Second tergite weakly mat, its punctures rather fine, separated by about 



O.G their diameter; front edge of proiiotura with only a curvature at its 

 lower 0.35; dorsal valve of ovipositor evenly tapered from nodus to tip 



(fig. 329, b) 1. schlingeri, new species 



Second tergite strongly mat, its punctures very fine, adjacent; front edge of 

 pronotum with a small angular projection at its lower 0.35; dorsal valve of 

 ovipositor distinctly depressed between nodus and tip. 



13. brunnipennis, new species 



5. Thorax shiny, polished and with small punctures; notaulus absent except 



for a broad faint depression; apex of upper valve of ovipositor abruptly 



tapered (fig. 329, f) 9. poUta, new species 



Thorax dull, mat or subpolished and with fine or very fine punctures; notaulus 

 distinct, though often short and weak 6 



6. Front edge of pronotum with a small projecting angle at its lower 0.35, 



the angle 85° to 135° 7 



Front edge of pronotum only curved at its lower 0.35, without a distinct 

 angle 9 



7. Second tergite entirely fulvous, not fuscous at base; tip of ovipositor ex- 



ceptionally thick (fig. 329, g) 11. excincta, new species 



Second tergite with a fuscous band or a pair of transverse fuscous marks 

 at base; tip of ovipositor more slender 8 



8. Dorsal valve of ovipositor not depressed between nodus and apex, straight 



or weakly convex in profile; apical brown band on front wing weak, so 

 that the front wing appears superficially to have only two brown bands. 



8. bicincta, new species 



Dorsal valve of ovipositor depressed and flattened between nodus and apex, 



weakly concave in profile (fig. 329, h); apical brown band on front wing 



moderately strong 12. sororia (Cresson) 



9. Front Ming subhyaline with fuscous bands; body mostly ferruginous . . 10 

 Front wing yellow with brown bands; body mostly ferruginous or fulvous . 11 



10. Second tergite not fuscous basally; mesoscutum weakly mat, its punctures 

 moderately fine and dense 2. cestus (Say)
