10 HYMENOPTERA. 



Female. — Head normal, the three ocelli in the center of the 

 vertex in a triangle, the lateral ocelli distant from the eye 

 margins ; eyes naked ; antennae inserted near the ventral 

 ends of the eyes, very near the middle of the face, 8-jointed 

 — scape, pedicel, 1 ring-joint, a 2-jointed funicle and a 3- 

 jointed club ; antennae somewhat more compact than in West- 

 woodella but otherwise very similar, the pedicle distinctly 

 much longer than the small, compact funicle, two-thirds the 

 length and size of the long ovate club, the scape obclavate ; 

 second funicle joint short (Fig. 4). 



Thorax normal, the parapsidal furrows complete. Abdo- 

 men sessile, the ovipositor not exserted. Tarsi 3-jointed, the 

 joints increasing in length distad, none of them especially 

 long, the tarsal claws absent or else concealed. Tibial spurs 

 minute, acute, single, the anterior ones not curved and 

 forked, the strigil absent. Sculpture of the body inconspicu- 

 ous. Legs normal. 



Fore wings (Fig. 5) shaped as in Trichogr-anunatoidea Gir- 

 ault,* moderate in width and regularly, convexly rounded dis- 

 tad, the marginal cilia long but by far not so long as in Oligo- 

 sita and Westzcoodella, gradually lengthening distad on both 

 margins but somewhat more quickly so on the caudal margin, 

 the discal ciliation in regular longitudinal lines (these con- 

 fused in denser places) and moderately long, distinctly sepa- 

 rated cilium from cilium, erect, variable in density but never 

 dense ; the submarginal and marginal veins straight, long, 

 unequal, the stigmal vein short, uniform in width, merely a 

 rounded ovate knob attached to the end of the marginal vein 

 nearly at right angles ; substigmal fuscous spot present, 

 prominent. Posterior wings narrow, hyaline, with regular 

 discal ciliation — a single long longitudinal row of them in the 

 disk, near caudal margin, in addition to the two lines of cilia- 

 tion around the edges of the disk between the marginal cilia. 



Mandibles dentate, the dentation unknown, but at least 

 tridentate. 



Male. — The same, secondary sexual characters being pres- 



* Described beyond.
