28 HYMENOPTERA. 



widely separated in the line one from the other and they are minute 

 and the line is not especially near the caudal wing margin ; also in 

 this third line the cilia become slightly more distinct distad. In the 

 oblique line of discal cilia of the fore wings running from the stigmal 

 vein proximo-caudad, there are about from six to ten cilia. Uncus of 

 the stigmal vein present, normal. 



Antennse (fig. 8) 8-jointed, the segments distinct — scape, pedicel, 

 ring-joint, two funicle joints and three club joints. Scape cylindrical 

 oval, widest at the center, about equal to the club in length and also 

 to the pedicel and first two funicle joints combined; pedicel conic, 

 widest at the apex, wider and distinctly longer than the whole funicle 

 and at least twice the size of the first funicle joint ; ring-joint distinct, 

 abruptly smaller, subquadrate, sometimes appearing as two joints ; first 

 funicle joint subquadrate, slightly longer than wide, longer than the 

 second funicle joint, widest at the apex where it is obliquely trun- 

 cate ; second funicle joint subglobular, about as wide as long, slightly 

 shorter than the first, very much smaller than the proximal club joint; 

 funicle cylindrical, distinctly narrower than the club, pedicel and scape. 

 Club abruptly larger, long ovate or conic-ovate, widest at the apex of 

 the proximal joint, the distal joint acutely conical, smallest and equal 

 in length to the others ; club longer than funicle and the widest and 

 most pubescent part of the antennae, slightly longer than the scape. 

 Antennae bearing a few long, scattered, stifif setse, most prominent on 

 funicle 2 and the club.

Female. — The same ; slightly longer and more variable in regard to 

 the dusky bands of the abdomen which are sometimes obscure ; abdo- 

 men long, conic-ovate, pointed, the sheaths of the ovipositor slightly 

 exserted but prominent.
