 anil longer tliau any of the fuuicle joints whieli are all longer tlian wide, the first shortest and 

 oupshaped; pedicel large and ovate, nearly as long as the club joint. Marginal vein very short, 

 not more than twice longer than wide at apex, the stigmal about half its length. I'arajisidal 

 furrow.s complete. Scutelluni simple and with a shallow median groove; propodenni simple, 

 with a similar groove whiili widens distad. I'osterior femur beneath armed with many (aboMt 

 55-60) minute, comblike, black teeth, equal in size, the first api)earing to be shorter and more 

 obtuse, the second to be of two coalesced nearly to tip, the margin itseli scalloped from base up 

 to the first tooth and therefore wavy. Middle tibia with a spiur. One tooth of mandible falcate 

 as in the Pjucharida>, the other short and acute; the falcate one without teeth, long like a naked 

 sword. Abdomen stouter distad than in the male, the ovipositor distinct but not exserted. 

 Mandibles alike in both sexes but peculiar in shai)e, having two teeth, the first long, acute, 

 snbfalcate, the second a half .shorter, rather broad, obtusely rounded at a]iex and separated 

 from the first by a long, narrow sinus. 



In the male the eyes are smaller, extending only two thirds the way to mouth; antennae 

 only 7-jointed, club solid, funicle 4-jointed, no ring-joint. Frons broad. (Corrected 

 description.) 



1. SMICROMORPHA DODDI Girault. Female; male. Genotype. 



Length, alHiut, ."i.-jii mm. 



Honey yellow, the wings stained a little just distad from the venation, the parajiside 

 with a dark reddish brown spot against the middle of each mesal margin; abdomen reddish 

 brown. Sculpture as in Smicrii. Petiole of abdomen about as long as hind co.xa. Scutum 

 obscurely dark reddish, its lateral margin yellow (no doubt due to fading and there is no real 

 pattern). In the male, scutum distinctly dark reddish.

2. SMICROMORPHA CADAVEROSA Giraidt. Female ; male. 



Length, 5 mm. 



Like the tyjje species but with a more distinct pattern on the thorax (no pattern or 

 practically none in female genotype) : All of each parapside except margins, cephalic portion 

 of each axilla, cephalic half of scutum except along margins and meson, caudal third of scutum 

 except along meson and margins, forming two elongate oblique spots one on each side and a 

 minute dot in the center of propodeum. dorso-laterad, dusky black; the spot on the fore wing 

 is more di-stinct than in the type species. Otherwise the stime. First funicle joint tapering 

 from apex to base. 



The male is the same but the hinil coxa' shorter and sronter, dusky lilack; dot on 

 propodeum absent.
