shaped and devoid of discal cilia with the exception of a short row of scattered 

 cilia extending from the extreme base of the blade distad to its caudal 

 margin at about its center,* and a row of somewhat smaller cilia along the 

 cephalic margin of the blade, from the apex of the marginal vein to the apex 

 of the wing ; marginal fringes absent along the cephalic margin just distad of 

 the marginal vein, then originating and continuing around the entire blade 

 margin, very short at first, slightly lengthening distad to the apex, then longer 

 at apex and around at the caudal margin abruptly lengthening, becoming longer 

 than the greatest width of the wing (across the apex of the marginal wing) ; 

 they continue of nearly equal length along the caudal margin. 



Antennte regularly clavate, uniformly clothed with short, soft pubescence, 

 8-jointed-scape, pedicel, three funicle joints and a 3-jointed club, the latter 

 distinct. Scape slender, nearly as long as the club, longer than the funicle, 

 the scape, club and flagellum (including pedicel) being subequal regions ; 

 pedicel obconic, short, but longer than the first funicle joint, but not very 

 much longer: flagellum gradually increasing in width, the joints of the funicle 

 and club gradually increasing in length ; proximal joint subquadrate, a fourth 

 shorter than the following joint and nearly a third shorter than the pedicel, 

 barely longer than wide ; second funicle joint longer and slightly wider than 

 the first but a third shorter and a fourth narrower than the third funicle 

 joint, more equal to the pedicel than any other antennal joint ; third joint of 

 the funicle but very slightly shorter than the proximal club joint, but dis- 

 tinctly narrower, longer than the pedicel ; second and third funicle joints 

 distinctly longer than wide ; all club joints distinctly longer than wide, the 

 proximal two subequal in length, slightly longer than the third or distal funicle 

 joint, the intermediate joint, however, broader than the first club joint, nearly- 

 rectangular and the broadest antennal joint ; distal club joint conical, slightly 

 longer, the longest flagellar joint, as wide at its base as the apex of the inter- 

 mediate club joint ; its apex obtuse but pointed, not sharply or acutely so. 



From two specimens, |-inch objective, i-inch optic, Bausch and Lomb. 



Male. — Unknown. 



The species has the fore wings of Encarsia but the antennal club 

 is plainly 3-segmented. 



Described from two female specimens (the colors and sculpture 

 from life) captured on the panes of a window in an unused pig- 

 shed on a farm, August 27 and 31, 1909. The host is therefore un- 

 known. A species characterized by the shape of the stigmal vein, 

 the naked area in the discal ciliation of the fore wings caudad of 

 the stigmal vein, the bright yellow scutellum, the indication of a post- 

 marginal vein, the hyaline wings and the uniformly yellow, non- 

 banded legs. It is nearest to similis (Masi) from which it is easily 



* A few scattered very minute setK caudad of this row, between it and 

 the caudal wing margin.
