(Punctures of the scutellum generally shallow or sparse, its 

 surface sometimes sufficiently rugidose all over to prevent the front 

 part from appearing more than slightly shining in any aspect) . ... 



moricella, sp. n. 



10 (7) 2nd and 3rd abdominal segments without any evident puncturation 



amidst the surface sculpture. 



11 (12) Mesonotum excessively dull from the dense minute granular-appearing 



surface-sculpture, the punctures extremely fine and remote on the 

 whole surface, even in proximity and inwardly to the smooth lateral 

 lines (which lie inwardly to the tegiilse), scutellum with the punc- 

 tures fine, often dull and rugulose all over, rarely a little shining in 

 front ; stigma always dark, the appressed hairs of the 5th segment 

 also dark, fuscous or brownish fuscous. 



(Propodeum with the anterior area very rugose to the truncation, 

 scutellum appearing large owing to its little convexity)... 



subopaca, Nyl. 



12 (11) Mesonotum not thus sculptured, either closely punctured at least 



near the lateral smooth lines, or else with very conspicuous or deep 

 punctures, or the scutellum more or less polished ; anal hairs often 

 pale, golden, or yellowish ; mesonotum sometimes more or less 

 smooth and shining. 



13 (16) Mesonotum dull all over, with dense sculpture between the punctures, 



which are dense or moderately close, and nearly even, never very 

 irregular, nor very remote, always close in the neighbourhood of the 

 smooth lateral lines. 



14 (15) Puncturation of mesonotum generally much less distinct, in many 



aspects the punctures appear indistinct in outline, or more or less 

 obliterated parvula, Kirby. 



15 (14) Puncturation dense; very distinct over nearly the whole mesonotum 



in most aspects minutula, Kirby. 



16 (13) Mesonotum sometimes shining or even polished in part, the punctures 



either very remote or else they are very distinct, and conspicuously 

 unevenly distributed over the surface ; scutellum often partly or 

 largely very shining or polished. 



17 (18) Mesonotum generally duller, the punctures sparser and finer. 



(Hairs of 5th and 6th segments pale, yellow or golden ; scutellum 

 generally appearing more than usually convex). ..parvuloides, sp. n. ; 



18 (17) Mesonotum generally smoother, often partly or largely well polished, 



the punctures always stronger and more numerous. 



(Anal hairs pale, as in the preceding, yellow or golden) . . . 



minutuloides, sp. n.
