THE TRIBE CHALCIDINI — BURKS 317 



five-sevenths interocular space at level of antennal bases; width of 

 malar space one-third height of compound eye; diameter of posterior 

 ocellus slightly more than one-third interocellar space. 



Dorsum of thorax deeply and irregularly pitted, the pits tending 

 to coalesce ; anterolateral angles of pronotum carinate, anterior dor- 

 sal carina rather irregular, interrupted on mesal one-quarter ; parap- 

 sidal furrows distinct; prepectus not quite reaching tegula; apical 

 lamina of mesoscutellum not depressed on meson; metepisternum 

 provided with large punctures except at posteroventral angle ; meta- 

 coxa shagreened on outer dorsal surface, pitted and setose elsewhere ; 

 outer surface of metafemur shagreened and densely covered with 

 rather long setae, outer ventral margin with 20 to 22 teeth, the basal 

 one larger than others; sharp inner tooth present. 



Propodeum coarsely carinate, areas between carinae minutely 

 reticulated, lateral teeth lacking, spiracles vertical; petiole three 

 times as long as wide, surface minutely shagreened, lateral carinae 

 present, basal lamina much wider on ventral than on dorsal side; 

 gaster longer than metafemur, tergites 3 and 4 glabrous, their com- 

 bined lengths greater than following ones combined, tergites 5 to 8 

 minutely shagreened, lateral setae present on tergites 4 to 7; eighth 

 tergite uniformly covered with long setae, spiracles oval ; cerci large, 

 oval, provided with fine long setae and located near posterior mar- 

 gin of epipygium; a patch of long, stiff setae ventrolaterad of each 

 cercus. 



Male: 2 mm. Antennal scape (fig. 9, g) broad and stout; width 

 of malar space slightly more than one-third height of compound eye ; 

 combined widths of compound eyes equal to width of interocular 

 space at level of antennal bases; diameter of posterior ocellus two- 

 fifths interocellar space; petiole three times as long as wide.
