THE FAMILY EUCHARIDAE GAHAN 449 



joint a little broader than long, fourth and following joints shorter, 

 the seventh about twice as broad as long; club indistinctly 3- jointed 

 and a little longer than two preceding funicle joints. Head strongly 

 transverse ; occiput broadly but not deeply concave ; ocelli in an obtuse 

 triangle; postocellar line a little longer than ocellocular line; lateral 

 ocellus about twice its own diameter from eye margin; eyes bare; 

 malar space about equal to the eye in length, with a distinct broad, 

 shallow depression running from eye to base of mandible; ciypeus 

 broader than long, less strongly punctate than rest of face, quite smooth 

 anteriorly, its anterior margin straight; clypeal foveae and sutures 

 deep ; supraclypeal area defined by deep lateral grooves, a little broader 

 than long, shorter than ciypeus, and sculptured about like base of 

 ciypeus. Thorax moderately robust; scutellum at apex protruding 

 over the metanotum ; propodeum slightly shorter than scutellum basad 

 of the transverse fold, strongly alveolately punctate over its whole 

 surface, without lateral folds but with deep and strongly foveated 

 spiracular sulci and more or less strongly foveated along its basal 

 margin, the middle of propodeum slightly flattened or depressed and 

 divided by a sinuate median longitudinal carina from which originate 

 several irregularly transverse rugae to form, on each side of the carina, 

 a series of rather large shallow irregularly shaped areas or foveae. 

 Legs moderately stout, the anterior femora a little swollen ; posterior 

 tibiae each with two distinct spurs, the inner spurs the longest. Fore- 

 wing rather weakly ciliated, bare basally, the costal cell with only 

 four or five cilia ; marginal vein a little more than half as long as sub- 

 marginal, stigmal vein short, a little curved at apex, postmarginal 

 about twice as long as stigmal. Abdominal petiole a little longer than 

 posterior coxae, evenly and rather finely alveolate, without any rugae ; 

 ventral margin of gaster a little longer than petiole ; dorsal segments 

 not emarginate. 



Male. — Length 2.5 mm. Antennae short, the flagellum thick; first 

 funicle joint not longer than broad, following joints all distinctly 

 broader than long ; scutellum rugulose, the alveolate sculpture largely 

 replaced by irregular rugae ; scapulae anteriorly and axillae dorsally 

 also irregularly rugulose; abdominal petiole about two and one- 

 half times as long as liind coxae; much longer than ventral 

 margin of gaster, the gaster much smaller than in female; pedicel 

 of antenna and posterior femora more or less metallic. Otherwise 

 like the female.
