 lung as the abdomen. 



Euns to erairfonli. Brown, the scutum mcfiillic green. Differs from crawfordi in that 

 the valves of the ovipositor are distinctly longer, the legs are silvery white except the caudal 

 coxa; and the abdomen is eoncolorous with rest of the body. Also the scape is brown and 

 the seutellum is not declivous. Tlie single specimen liad the abdomen so much compressed as
