 finely punctate, mat; face somewhat more coarsely punctate, mat, 

 barely twice as broad as long, medially prominent, concave on each 

 side below antennae; ch^peus fully tlu'ee-fourtlis as long as broad, 

 strongly convex medio-basally, strongly rounded at apex and with a 

 more or less distinct median emargination; cheeks in front view very 

 long, slightly concave, their extended angle very sharply acute; malar 

 space fully as long as basal width of mandible; mouth hardly as broad 

 as face; mandibles rather narrow; distance from junction of occipital 

 and h}T30stomal carinae to mandible about equal to base of latter; 

 eyes strongly convex, longer than width of face, virtually parallel; 

 ocellocular line slightly shorter than postocellar line and barely a half 

 longer than diameter of an ocellus; antenna conspicuously shorter 

 than body, with 48-51 joints, tapering but not attenuate apically, 

 first joint of flagellum hardly twice as long as second which is little 

 more than twdce as long as thick, joints immediately beyond middle 

 shorter than thick. 



Thorax strongly compressed, mat, densely and finely punctate, 

 especiall}^ dorsally; notauli faintly indicated on disk ; scutellum strongly 

 convex both transversely and in profile, more sparsely punctate and 

 more shining than rest of thorax ; propodeum in profile weakly convex 

 above, with faint trace of apical carina, beyond which it is concavely 

 sloping, punctate-rugulose laterally, reticulate-rugose medially; spira- 

 cles rather short oval, situated shortly above the obsolete pleural 

 carinae. 



Legs slender; hind femur more than three-fourths as long as tibia; 

 inner hind calcarium more than half as long as basitarsus; apical joint 

 of tarsus shorter than third joint. 



Wings: Apical abscissa of radius moderately curved at base, more 

 than a half longer than basal abscissa; areolet somewhat longer on 

 second intercubitus, the other three sides subequal; second discoidal 

 cell rather broad, second recurrent fully two-thirds as long as basal 

 abscissa of subdiscoideus, rather strongly curved or subangulate 

 above; nervulus distinctly postf ureal; abscissula less than t^dce as 

 long as intercubitella. 



Abdomen very minutely and delicately sculptured, with sparse 

 punctation on first and sides of second tergite, weakly compressed 

 at apex, first tergite twice as long as broad at apex, the sides con- 

 cavely curved, second tergite slightly longer than broad at base; 

 ovipositor stout, upcurved, sheath three-fourths as long as first 

 tergite.
