medially, the sculpture on the face forming vertical lines ; antennae dark 

 brown, the scape somewhat greenish with its base testaceous ; joints of 

 the funicle subquadrate, the pedicel longer than the ring-joints and first 

 joint of funicle combined, parapsidal furrows complete, wide, with occa- 

 sional transverse rugae so that they somewhat resemble a row of pits, the 

 sculpture of lateral lobes of mesoscutum and of axillae somewhat finer 

 than on middle lobe ; scutellum before apex with a broad distinct trans- 

 verse furrow, sculpture apicad of this furrow coarser and basad of it ; 

 propodeum coarsely, irregularly rugose, petiole shorter than hind coxae 

 from above showing five longitudinal carinae, the outer pair seen from 

 above at the extreme sides of petiole, the one on each side of the middle 

 carina converging toward base ; mesopleurae, except upper part with a 

 medial triangular area extending downward, with thimble-like punctures ; 

 wings hyaline, the postmarginal vein about half as long as the marginal, 

 stigmal about as long as postmarginzJ ; coxae green, rest of legs reddish 

 honey color, the femora near apices somewhat brovra, tibiae near base 

 with indistinct light brownish annulus and near apices with another more 

 indistinct brownish spot ; abdomen smooth polished, the first segment 

 occupying half the length of abdomen, the apex deeply, broadly emar- 

 ginate. 



Male: Length about 1.75 mm. Similar to the female but the scape 

 entirely testaceous, the antennae filiform, the enlarged joint of the palpi 

 very conspicuous, dark green, legs lighter colored than the female, the 

 brownish patches hardly visible, petiole not longer than in female. 



Habitat : Vicinity of Urbana, Illinois.

Female: Length 1.25 mm. Brilliant coppery, the vertex blue with 

 some greenish reflections ; mesothoracic foveae green ; apex of scutellum, 

 metanotum, and propodeum greenish ; abdomen bluish ; face below and 

 above V-shaped furrow reticulated ; vertex faintly reticulate, the reticu- 

 lations extending to the eyes ; funicle 2 -jointed, the first joint about as 

 long as the pedicel ; club 3-jointed, longer than the two joints of the 

 funicle united ; foveae of mesonotum very faintly reticulate, the rest of the 

 mesonotum and scutellum stronger reticulated, the reticulations of the scu-
