 Also the antennse differ from those of liiinasuniiuilli in tliat the jiedic-el is siibclonfjate, lonifer 

 than any of the funicle joints (pediei'l mnc-h shorti-r tli;in funic-lc -1 in the other) while the 

 longest f\iniele joint (H or 4) is not as lonj; :is witli tliat species. The ovipositor is extruded 

 more, the middle white much longer. Kesenibles /■;»/!< 7m«.s- graiii (iirault but somewhat more

Ftinal(: — Length. -.'Ml mm. 



A'ery similar to raeinri but the scape is dark metallic like the rest of the antemiai. the 

 proximal margin of the second (distal) fuscous stripe is straight not forming a triangle as with 

 the other species. Fuuiele 1 somewhat longer than 2 or 3 which are subequal and somewhat 

 longer than the jiedicel. Hind tibial spurs ap[)arently as in jiipunculi Perkins, from which 

 this sj.iecies differs in having the cross-band of hyaline very nearly as broad as the iirst fuscous 

 cross-stri]ie (plainly not so as figured for that species; less so for racinci), the stigmal vein is 

 shorter, the jiedicel is longer and the base of the wing infuscated; moreover, the apex of the 

 fore wing is clear. Postmarginal vein somewiiat over tw ice the length of the stigmal. Segments 

 of abdomen not excised at meson of caudal margin. Hyaline band of fore wing with its 

 distal margin just missing base of the stignud vein. .Sculijture about as in rariiici. King- 

 joint wider than long.

Fcmate: — Length, il.T.j nun., excluding cjviijosilor wliicli is extruded for a little less than 

 a third of the length of abdomen and is Ijrownblack at tip 



.Mi'tallic purple, the propodeuin green, the head lirassy; fine wings hyaline but with one 

 moderately broad complete ci'oss-strijie and an inconiplett^ one. the latter broader, two thirds 

 complete from most of postmarginal vein; hyaline stripe between them as broad as the second 

 half-stripe, broader than the first stripe. Coxa' and hind legs concolorous, rest reddish browu, 

 the tarsi whitish. Scape reddish brown, rest of .■inteniia black. Segments 2-5 of abdomen incised 

 at meson of caudal margin, .5 only slightly, nlliers not ileeply. Ce])halic ocellus just tipi)ing 

 apex of the triangular scrobicular cavity wliose lateral nuirgins are carinated. Body scaly, 

 scutellum densely shagreened, center of scutum stibglabrous. Cephalic femur wide. Venation 

 narrow, the postmarginal vein twice the length of the normal stigmal. Middle tarsi with 

 distinct black teeth ventrad. Hind tibial s|iur single. Funicle 1 wider than long, club obliquely 

 truncate, funicle 2 nearly thrice longer than wide, somewhat longer th.an :! which is subequal 

 to the pedicel and next longest; funieles 7-.S subequal, somewhat wider than long. Scutellum 

 declivous. Runs to racinci Cirault but differs in lacking the silvery liand of abdomen near 

 base, in bearing the distinctly extruded o\i|iositor, the reddish c-plialic legs, in li:iving funicle
