 2. Ageniella (Ameragenia) fasciata, new species

Female: Forewing 6.5 to 8.0 mm. long; apical hairless margin of 

 cl3^peus rather narrow, mat, separated from the rest of the clj^peus by a 

 distinct furrow; long erect hairs on propodeum numerous; tibial 

 bristles numerous and long.

 apically stained with rufous ; middle and hind femora and tibiae rufous,

 wings hyaline, the forewiug with a small faint fuscous mark over the 

 nervulus and lower part of the basal vein, the apex infuscate, and a

 however, the type of novellus lacks an apical dark mark on the fore- 

 wing and has a larger darker mark on the basal vein than in fasciata.
