furrow with three longitudinal carinae ; sides of pronotuni rugulosc with 

 a longitudinal carina near the middle reaching to the front and liind 

 margins ; mesopleura and mesosternum margined in front, a deep smooth 

 furrow on either side separating tlic sternum from the pleura, the 

 vertical furrow broad and rugose mesopleura tessellate granulate 

 above, smooth below and shining as is the sternum, middle line 

 of mesosternum crenulate ; prescutellar sulcus not deeply impressed, 

 divided by about five raised longitudinal lines; propodeum with two 

 well defined lateral areas touching in front and each bounded by a 

 raised consute line, the rugose petiolar area therefore narrowed. 



Abdomen slightly longer than head and thorax combined, widest 

 across the fourth segment, the ovipositor about two-thirds as long; 

 pedicel about as long as its apical width and longitudinally, coarsely 

 rugoso-striate ; second tergite short, transverse and closely fused with 

 the third, its apical margin broadly raised and polished, its broad mar- 

 gin more narrowly raised and smooth, between is a transverse row of 

 longitudinal sulci and coarse striae ; third and fourth tergites each with 

 a transverse row of crenulate sulci at the basal margin, the striae 

 separating the sulci radiating obliquely outward especially towards the 

 sides of the disk and gradually becoming obliterated before reaching 

 the apical margin, which is smooth, the striae sometimes branching or 

 more often with secondary finer striae in the interstices but these gen- 

 erally do not reach quite to tlie basal margin ; fifth tergite similar to 

 the preceding two but the striae are wholly longitudinal and parallel; 

 second to fifth tergites moreover become rugoso-striafo on the vertical 

 sides and slightly more finely sculptured here than on the disk ; sixth ter- 

 gite minutely tessellate at base and finely, transversely lineolate at apex ; 

 last two tergites mostly concealed beneatli the sixtli and apparently 

 wlioll}' smooth. 



Length, 3.6; wing, 2.8; ovipositor^ i.i mm. 



Male : Similar to tlie female. l)ut the abdomen is nuich slenderer, 

 the second tergite no shorter tlian tlie following segments; each of the 

 first five tergites. including the pedicel, with coarse striae reaching nearly 

 to the apex of the segments, the interstices rugose with fine cross 

 lines; antennae with about 27 to 29 joints. 



Length. 2.6 ; wing, 2.3 mm.
