8. EPIDINOCARSIS SIMILIS new sp.eies. 



Feniule: — Length, 1.10 mm. 



Very similar to aumtiseutiiin (liraiilt but only the face of the pronotnm is jiurplisli and 

 the antenna? differ in that the scape i.s much less dilated and is distinctly narrowly black at 

 tip, the discal funicle joint is white only at tip; the pedicel and first three funicle joints are 

 rather shorter and the head is orange yellow. Dorsum of abdomen more or less purplish or 

 washed with that color. Pro]iodeum wholly black in both species except cephalad of spiracle. 

 The fore wing is more stained \iuiler the venation in tliis species, the venation more distinct 

 (in both species about eight lines of discal cilia proximad of tlic hairless line). The scape 

 is distinctly white at base (barely so in iiiir(itiseiitiim). Himl tibial spurs single.
