I THE FAMILY EUCHAEIDAE — GAHAN 433 



SCHIZASPIDIA ANTENNATA, new species 



Agrees very well with the description of furcifera Westwood except 

 that in the female the third joint of the antenna is very nearly or 

 quite twice as long as the second, the eleventh joint is distinctly sep- 

 arated from the twelfth and produced laterally like the preceding 

 joints, while the twelfth joint is very short, almost globose, and 

 apparently undivided. 



Female. — Length 3 mm. Head, thorax, propodeum, and abdom- 

 inal petiole dark green ; gaster brownish black ; antenna dark brown, 

 the scape and pedicel paler; coxae all dark brown, rest of legs yel- 

 lowish testaceous; tegula testaceous; wings mostly hyaline but with 

 a broad indefinitely delimited brownish fuscous band embracing the 

 stigmal vein and extending across the wing nearly to the posterior 

 margin. 



Head with vertex and occiput transversely striated, upper part of 

 frons between scrobe and eye margin with weak longitudinal striae, 

 temples weakly longitudinally rugulose, lower part of frons, face, 

 clypeus and anterior portion of malar space perfectly smooth and 

 polished; malar space a little shorter than eye; ocelli in a slightly 

 curved line, the posterior ocellus about twice its own diameter from 

 the eye margin. Mesoscutum with complete and widely separated 

 parapsidal grooves, its median lobe strongly transversely rugoso- 

 striate, the lateral lobes also transversely rugoso-striate border- 

 ing the parapsidal grooves but more coarsely and irregularly 

 rugose laterally; axillae and scutellum coarsely longitudinally 

 striated, the scutellum with a deep median longitudinal groove 

 and with the forked process at apex about as long as the scutellum 

 itself, this process grooved medially, more or less striated laterally, 

 the tines of fork nearly smooth and carinately margined; apex of 

 scutellum beneath the process irregularly rugose ; propodeum rugose, 

 without carinae, and with the spiracular furrows shallow and ob- 

 scured by the rough sculpture; pleura mostly rugose but with the 

 mesepisternal plate partly smooth. Coxae smooth; femora smooth 

 and all moderately slender. Abdominal petiole a little longer than 

 posterior coxae, broader at apex than at base and rugulosely sculp- 

 tured ; gaster smooth, not as large as thorax, the hypopygium at apex 

 with about 20 long stiff hairs ; ovipositor strongly curved downward 

 the dorsal valves each with about 8 distinct transverse ridges or 

 teeth. 



Antenna 12- jointed, without a ring joint; scape cylindrical, not 

 quite reaching to anterior ocellus; pedicel about as long as broad; 

 flagellum strongly serrate, the first flagellar joint about twice as long 

 as pedicel and not prolonged into a tooth dorsally ; second to ninth
