 fourths the length of the alxlonien. Abdomen intermediate between Etipclmus and Aiiasfatus 

 but more like the former. 



Metallic purple green, the fore wing deejily embrowned from the bend of the sub- 

 marginal vein distad to apex but distinctly clearer some distance proximad of the apex; 

 pronotuni, except lateral margins, seaiie, legs, ventral face, caudal three fourths of meso- 

 Ijleurum, a line down latero-dorsal aspect of thorax above the tegula, axilla" and cephalic two 

 thirds of scutellum rich reddish brown. Fore wings infuscated above immediate base. 

 Proximal two tliirds of distal half of ovipositor white, distal third of tlie half black, proximal 

 half dusky. Proximal third of abdomen silvery white; also tarsi of middle legs (except the distal 

 black .joint) and proximal portion of the proximal joint of each of the other tarsi. Front 

 and hind femora and tibiae rather strongly compressed, the middle tibiae with the comblike 

 teeth white. Hind tibia; with one spur. Pedicel somewhat longer than funicle 4 which is 

 longest, 1 a little longer than wide. 7 and 8 quadrate, two thirds the length of 4, longer than 1 ; 

 scape slender, antennae inserted near the clypeus, distinctly below the long eyes which converge, 

 the vertex narrow, the scrobes short, semicircular, not reaching to middle of the face. Axilhf

 abdomen (or proximal fourth or somewhat more), coxa', distal third of scape, distal three 

 fourths of pedicel, funicle joints 1 to G. articulations of the legs, tips of tibiae and the tarsi 

 silvery white; rest of abdomen honey yellow, the silvery white followed by three cross-stripes 

 of darker yellow, close together; middle of silvery white of aljdomen with a rather broad
