76 HYMENOPTERA. 



the apex, the lines of the discal ciliation peculiarly distinct, the cilia- 

 tion dense, the cilia short, the marginal cilia short and close; roar- 

 ginal vein short and stout, the stigmal vein neckless, thick, about half 

 the length of the marginal vein and placed nearly at right angles to it, 

 both taken together resembling a short stout rough walking-stick of 

 which the stigmal vein would form the handle ; the marginal vein 

 widens distad ; it is shorter than the submarginal vein and both are 

 straight. Caudal wings with the blade also shorter and broader than 

 usual, the discal ciliation consisting of five longitudinal lines of cilia 

 all about equal but the third and fourth lines are somewhat confused ;

 Discal ciliation indicated only ; greatly enlarged. 



the marginal cilia of the caudal margin of the posterior wing is not as 

 long at their longest as the greatest width of the wing blade, the 

 cephalic margin of the blade straight, the caudal margin broadly con- 

 vex. Fore wings with a line of about seven discal cilia running obli- 

 quely proximo-caudad from the extreme apex of the stigmal vein, bare 

 proximad of that line in the center. The male antennas do not differ 

 from those of the female. The funicle joint is stout, as wide as the 

 club. The fore wings are very slightly fumated proximad. The tarsal 

 claws comparatively prominent. 



In the National Museum there are one male and one female 

 tagmounted type specimens the former labelled " Paraceyi- 

 trobia Uavipes Girault. Type No. 8942, U. S. N. M. J. H. 

 Beattie, collector. Fort Valley, Georgia, VI. 12. 05., (^ . No. 

 90." The female is labelled simply "type No. 8942, U. S. 

 N. M., 9 ." The " No. 90 " of the first specimen is simply 

 a private number. In my own collection I find three slides
