Normal position. 



Female. — Length, 0.93 mm. Large for the genus. 



This is the largest species yet seen from North America but is not 

 large as a mymarid. It is similar to nigrellus but differs as follows: 

 The fore wings are broader, bearing about fifteen longitudinal lines of 

 discal ciliation at their widest blade portion, the marginal vein is com- 

 paratively very long, longer for instance than the naked area distad of 

 it, the posterior wings bear along their midlongitudinal line two lines 

 of discal cilia of about from six to ten cilia each, running from the apex 

 but unequal and they are somewhat more acute at apex. Otherwise, 

 they are alike. The posterior wings are barely shorter than the fore 

 wings.
