finely sliagreened, are smooth and sinning, the parapsidal furrows 

 complete. The abdomen is oblong', the second segment with a basal 

 triangular elevation, the first being grooved at the sides and forming- 

 a wedge-sliaped plate; the third and fourth segments are delicately 

 sculptured. Wings large, yellowish-hyaline; the costa, stigma, and 

 veins yellow. The submedian cell is shorter than the median, the 

 recurrent nervure joins the first submarginal cell at its apical fifth, the 

 second abscissa of radius is about two and one-half times as h)ng as 

 the first, the second transverse cubitus being. scarcely longer than the 

 first abscissa of the radius, nuiking the second submarginal cell very 

 narrow.

Female. — Length, 2.5 to 3 mm. Agrees well with the i)receding
