males, but it is more slender than that of most females, and it there- 

 fore appears likely that Ashmead was correct as to the sex of the 



type. 



The antenna is rather long with the funicle joints all longer than 

 broad (missing beyond the sixth funicle joint), slightly broader than 

 the pedicel and more distinctly separated than usual. The clypeus 

 is sculptured about like the rest of the face, its anterior margin 

 slightly convex, the clypeal foveae and lateral sutures rather shallow. 

 The supraclypeal area is separated from the clypeus by a shallow 

 depression, not a suture, and the lateral sutures are also shallow and 

 indistinct. Tlie ocellocular line is about twice as long as the diameter 

 of an ocellus and distinctly shorter than the line between posterior 

 ocelli. The sculpture of head and thorax is alveolate but somewhat 

 irregularly so. The scutellum is rather narrow, much longer than 

 broad, with a distinct transverse groove and weak lateral grooves. 

 The mesepimeron is sculptured on upper half about as on lower half. 

 The propodeum is very finely alveolately sculptured with some weak 

 rugulae medially. The hind coxae are alveolately sculptured dor- 

 sally. The abdominal petiole is very slightly longer than the hind- 

 coxae and rugosely sculptured with about four longitudinal rugae. 

 The stigmal vein is longer than broad and the postmarginal is very 

 slightly longer than the stigmal. The color is very nearly black but 

 tinged with bronze on dorsum of thorax. The scape, tibiae, and 

 tarsi are all testaceous, the femora strongly infuscated.
