abscissa of cubitus ; nervulus postf ureal by 0.67 its length ; first abscissa 

 of submedius slightly shorter than second ; interanal vein represented 

 by a short stump continued by a pigmented line. Fifth segment of 

 fore tarsus longer than second; hind tibia flattened and broadened 

 toward apex, its outer apical margin thickened and expanded into a 

 flaring process ; hind femur broad, nearly half as wide as long ; inner 

 spur of middle tibia about 0.75 as long as its basitarsus ; inner spur of 

 hind tibia slightly less than 0.67 as long as basitarsus ; second segment 

 of middle leg shorter than fifth ; basitarsus of hind leg shorter than 

 the remaining four tarsal segments combined; second and fifth seg- 

 ments of hind tarsus about equal; hind tarsal claws pectinate, each 

 with five short visible teeth basally. First abdominal suture slightly 

 curved to the margin; second tergite shorter than third medially; 

 hypopygium in profile obtuse at apex, about as long as second and 

 third tergites combined, its median ventral line without a longitudinal 

 fold ; ovipositor sheath more than half as long as hypopygium and a 

 little shorter than hind basitarsus (pi. 5, fig. 32) .

Female. — Length 7.5 mm. Ferruginous; antenna, eye, vertex and 

 frons medially, mesosternum, propodeum, posterior portion of meta- 

 pleuron, and ovipositor sheath black ; wing fuliginous ; costa and stig- 

 ma ferruginous; hind tarsus fuscous; pubescence of head golden 

 brown. Antennae incomplete ; eye bare ; ocelli elevated ; vertex and 

 frons smooth and polished; face about 2.50 times as wide as long, 

 smooth and shining, with a low median tubercle above ; clypeus smooth, 

 its basal half slightly elevated medially, its apical margin truncate, 

 not notched ; temple slightly narrower than eye in dorsal view ; galea 

 very short. Central portion of lateral face of pronotum weakly sculp- 

 tured ; median lobe of mesoscutum with a shallow longitudinal depres- 

 sion on each side of median line; notaulices moderately foveolate; 

 mesopleuron smooth, upper groove foveolate and widened posteriorly, 

 lower groove with more or less elliptical f oveae, posterior groove f ove- 

 ate ; metapleuron with posterior portion rugulose and anterior portion 

 smooth ; propodeum rugose, areolar carinae low, costulae weak, areola 

 broader than spiracular area, spiracular area acute posteriorly, spiracle 

 long ovate. First abscissae of radius and basal vein equal; third 

 abscissa of cubitus shorter than fourth ; recurrent vein slightly longer 

 than second abscissa of cubitus; nervulus postf ureal by slightly over 

 0.67 its length; first abscissa of submedius shorter than second: 

 interanal vein represented by a short stump continued by a pig-
