Trypeta undosa, sp. nov. 



Head and its members yellow, third joint of antennce rounded at the apex. 

 Thorax yellow, metanotum black, thinly gray pruinose, a vitta each side of the middle 

 and the broad lateral margin, yellow, a black spot back of each wing ; scutellum 

 yellow, bearing four bristles, a black spot at its apex ; metanotum black, the sides 

 yellow. Abdomen yellow, each segment marked with four black spots, ovipositor 

 flattened, almost as long as the last three abdominal segments ; legs yellow ; wings 

 hyaline, the base almost to apex of auxiliary vein yellowish except middle of front 

 pc)rtion of second basal cell and behind the sixth vein ; a yellowish band margined 

 with brown starts at the costal portion of this spot, filling the stigma and extending 

 over the small crossvein, stops halfway between the fifth vein and the wing-margin ; 

 a similar band begins a short distance beyond this one and extends over the hind cross-
