the area between the carinae finely, transversely rugulose-punctate ; 

 marginal vein a little longer than the stigmal, which is about equal 

 to the postmarginal ; anterior half of the front coxae excavated 

 beneath, the concavity margined by a carina which is angulated 

 posteriorly, forming a distinct tooth-like projection a little behind 

 the middle; hind coxae outwardly reticulate, shining; abdomen 

 polished, a little longer than the thorax, subcompressed, pointed at 

 apex, the fourth tergite a little shorter than 2 and 3 combined, very 

 distinctly finely reticulate on the sides and with a few very obscure 

 reticulations dorsally; apex of ovipositor barely exposed. Black; the 

 antennal scape testaceous, pedicel and flagellum brown; femora 

 brownish black; tibiae mostly fusco-testaceous, the anterior pair 

 mostly testaceous; ovipositor sheaths black; wings hyaline, the 

 venation pale. Male unknown.

EURYTOMA DENTIPECTUS, new species. 



Female. — Length, 2 mm. Similar to denticoxa, but differing as 

 follows: Middle of the face not so definitely umbilicately punctate as 

 the sides, with two or three irregular coarse transversely directed 

 rugae on either side of the clypeus; propodeum more broadly exca- 

 vated and more distinctly defined laterally by somewhat irregular 

 carinae, the lateral margins of the excavation curved and converging 

 toward the base of petiole, the excavation with two and sometimes 

 three delicate, parallel, longitudinal carinae, the sculpture between 

 these carinae transversely rugulose, laterad of the carinae more 

 reticulate-punctate; mesosternum with a distinct tooth or process 

 near the middle ; front coxae beneath with a transverse carina which 

 is near the apex of coxae and not angulated to form a tooth-like 

 projection; fourth abdominal tergite medially not as long as 2 and 3 

 combined, about one and one-third times as long as the third, rather 

 deeply emarginate at apex; scape, all trochanters, middle femora, all 

 tibiae, and all tarsi testaceous, the tibiae faintly tinged with brownish; 

 fore and hind femora dark brown except at base and apex. 



Male. — Antennal pedicel spherical, hardly half as long as the first 

 funicle joint; scape a little swollen beneath; funicle joints dis- 

 tinctly pedicellate and hairy, the thickened portion only slightly 

 longer than broad, except the first, which is about one and one-half 

 times as long as thick; club not more than one and one-half times as 

 long as the last funicle joint; abdominal petiole smooth, and about 

 twice as long as thick; abdomen short, not longer than high, sub- 

 compressed; scape pale at base, dark brown beyond; front tibiae.
