Female: — Length, 1.20 mm. 



Orange yellow, the abdomen metallic purple, the scutellum washed with purple and less 

 distinctly so, the scutum; abdomen suffused with yellowish. Legs eoneolorous. Antennae 

 coneolorous except funicle C and the club which are black. Scajie moderately dilated, pedicel 

 subequal to funicle 1 which is somewhat longer than wide and longest; funieles 5 and 6 

 distinctly wider than long; club somewhat less than half the length of the funicle. Lateral 

 ocelli not touching the eyes, the vertex moderately broad, the cheeks somewhat less than half 

 the length of the eyes. Mandibular teeth short, subequal. Head lenticular. Axillse distinctly 

 separated for a short distance. Hind tibial spurs double. Vertex with thimble punctures 

 caudad of the cephalic ocellus and with a row of punctures along the eyes. Thorax finely scaly 

 but with numerous setigerous punctures. Scutellum somewhat longer than the scutum. Marginal 

 and stigmal veins subequal. the former a little over twice longer than wide, the stigmal curved, 

 the postmarginal vein no longer than wide. Fore wings deeply embrowned from base not 

 quite to apex, the margins of the latter rather broadly hyaline. Proximad of oblique hairless 

 line, discal cilia numerous but distinctly coarser than the main ciliation. Distal joint of 

 maxillary palpus black. Frous broader than usual and face convex. 



From one female taken in forest, Decemlier 31, 1912 (.A. P. Dodd).

\'ery deep orange yellow, the abdomen wholly imperial purple, also scutellum at distal

 jiurjile above at base, iirst four funicle .ioints dusky. Ajsilto slightly separated yet with a carina 

 between them. Thorax iinely scaly, the scutum and scutellum with sparse, minute setigerous 

 punctures, the former very slightly waslied with metallic. Fore wing sooty from a little distad 

 of middle of submarginal vein to apex, the infuscation fading somewhat at apex, accented at 

 vephalic half of its proximal margin, under the marginal vein and under the apex of stigmal 

 vein and divided by a liyaline stripe of moderate narrowness whose proximal margin intersects 

 ajjex of stigmal vein; this naked, hyaline cross-stripe is narrowed abruptly at center by a 

 proximal projection of the proximal margin of the distal half (or somewhat more) of the 

 infuseation which is accented rectangularly at its cejihalo-proximal corner, some distance distad 

 of the marginal vein. Marginal vein black; jiostmarginal vein a little less than half the length 

 of the stigmal. Hairless line of fore wing with about seven lines of cilia proximad of it. 

 Dilation of scape moderate. Pedicel sumewhat lontjer rhaji tuuicle 1 wliich is subequal to 3 and
