face with rather coarse well-separated punctures, closer above, 

 those of clypeus finer and closer; clypeus not produced, the 

 face below antennae therefore very short ; antennae reaching 

 about to posterior margin of tegulae ; scape very short, sub- 

 globose; first joint of flagellum only slightly longer than wide; 

 second joint slightly longer than first ; third slightly shorter 

 than second ; following joints subquadrate, subequal, nodose, 

 the last slightly longer ; apical end of second joint of flagellum 

 reaching to anterior ocellus ; mesoscutum with rather fine punc- 

 tures separated by about a puncture width; propodeum with 

 parallel longitudinal rugulse ; tegulae and tubercles with a red- 

 dish spot ; wings slightly dusky ; veins honey color, the stigma 

 along anterior margin and subcosta brown ; femora and mid 

 tibiae somewhat thickened ; hind tibiae slightly thickened, broad- 

 est about the middle; first joint of hind tarsi flattened, rather 

 broad ; joints 2-4 of hind tarsi produced on one side ; abdomen 

 sparsely, rather coarsely punctured ; fourth ventral segment 

 with a slight elevation on each side near apical margin bearing 

 a short slender spicule pointing inward ; sixth sternite without 

 processes, but deeply angularly emarginate on the sides, pro- 

 duced medially almost to a point and with a hyaline margin at 

 apex. 



Described from one specimen labeled "Los Angeles Co., 

 Calif., collection Coquillett." 



Type, Cat. No. 20833, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Easily distinguished by the greater amount of green color; 

 from oryx by the much shorter antennae, the subglobose scape, 

 etc. ; from mulleri by the less thickened legs, the less produced 

 hind tibiae, the shape of the scape, etc.

Although this species has been referred to in economic liter- 

 ature several times it was never described by Ashmead and the 

 name must be credited to Washburn, Eleventh Report State
