10. OOTETRASTICHUS SUBFASCIATIVENTRIS new species. 

 Female: — Leugth, 1.17 mm. 



Very similar to fasciatixentris but the abdomen hears three cross-stripes (and an 

 ■ obscure fourth at apex) on somewhat over distal third, preceded by three marginal spots, 

 the proximal pair at base; also the general coloration is golden yellow and the black valves 

 of the ovipositor are distinctly extruded. Mandibles tridentate.

Pale lemon yellow, the wings hyalnie, the body marked with dark metallic green as 

 follows: A suboordate markiug on cej)halie third of scutum, a diamond-shaped spot on 

 lateral angle of pronotum, axilla; and a large area just latevo-caudad of it, propodenm 

 except along the meson, three wedgeshaped marginal spots on abdomen (increasing in size 

 distad, the third at distal two thirds, their acute ajiices pointing mesad), a round spot at 

 the meson at distal three fourths and opposite to this at the margin a very minute dot. 

 Valves of ovijiositor black. Punicle 1 distinctly much longer than 2 or 3 which are subequal 

 and somewhat shorter than the pedicel. Mandibles tridentate. Stignial vein long. Propo- 

 denm with a median carina and no others c.xcppting a very narrow carina just laterad of the

 two thirds of si-utellum between first and second grooves, hind coxa and propodenm; 

 -abdomen with a spot at center of base, lateral margins from base a short distance, then five 

 large marginal spots between end of lateral marginal green and apex, these spots in the 

 shajie. of an elbow, parallel witli ami along the margin a short distance then proximad 

 turned mesad a short distance, the mesal arm slight on first pair, increasing distad, long 

 on fifth pair ;ind ajiproaching each other (as regards the fifth pair), forming an interrupted 

 (at meson) cross-stripe. A narrow ero^s-stripe between fifth marginal spot and apex. Valves
