A. A. GIRAULT. / 



the funicle being absent ; pedicel shortest of the three an- 

 tennal regions ; club distad terminating in a moderately long 

 spur-like seta which is simple (apparently not a cluster of 

 adhering setae). See Fig. 3. 



Thorax and abdomen normal, the latter somewhat longer 

 than the former and ovate ; ovipositor not exserted but the 

 valves project slightly beyond the tip of the abdomen ; parap- 

 sidal furrows complete ; sculpture of the body normal but 

 the segments of the abdomen, excepting caudad, are longi- 

 tudinally striate. Abdomen sessile. 



Fore wings as in Aphelinoidea Girault but the marginal 

 fringes are slightly longer and the discal ciliation is less 

 dense being but moderate ; further, the marginal vein is 

 less clavate and nearly uniform in width, subclavate, its dis- 

 tal end nearly squarely truncate, bearing from its disto- 

 caudal apex the sessile spur of a stigmal vein, which though 

 short is distinct and knob-like and bears at its cephalo-distal 

 margin the usual short spur-like uncus. Fore and posterior 

 wings slightly fumated proximad, caudad of the venation. 

 Marginal cilia of the fore wing longest at the apex of the 

 caudal margin, shortest proximad along both margins, absent 

 (as usual) proximad along the caudal margin opposite the 

 venation ; the longest marginal cilia are not a seventh as 

 long as the greatest wing width. Discal ciliation irregular, 

 absent proximad of the distal end of the venation with the 

 exception of a few minute cilia and there is more or less of 

 a naked area under the stigmal vein. Marginal and sub- 

 marginal veins subequal ; postmarginal vein absent ; vena- 

 tion straight. Discal ciliation of the posterior wings usual, 

 but the single row around the margins of the blade between 

 the bases of the marginal cilia, the only rows of discal cilia 

 present, are advanced farther than usual into the discal por- 

 tion of the blade away from the margins so that they form 

 two parallel lines of cilia near together in the cephalic half 

 of the blade or nearly there ; the caudal of these two rows 

 has the cilia more widely separated from each other in the 

 line ; marginal cilia of posterior wings normal, longest along 

 the caudal margin, especially at the greatest wing width
