outline of the apex being more conical than is the case with the type 

 species. The legs and basal three joints of the antennae are concolor- 

 ous, the rest of the antennal joints dusky yellowish. Apparently no 

 circular pits on the scape as described for the type species. Fore wing 

 suffused with dusky proximad. Also the second funicle joint of the 

 antenna is longer and the marginal cilia of the fore wing along the 

 cephalic margin and at apex. The fore wings also appear to be con- 

 siderably narrower and the body smaller. 



Fore wings somewhat similar to those in Anagrus but decidedly 

 broader, the excision or dilatation at base along the caudal margin 

 pronounced, nearly a lobe, the discal ciliation uniform, moderately fine 

 and dense, arranged in about fifteen to seventeen longitudinal lines 

 across the widest portion of the blade ; marginal vein somewhat dilated 

 distad, moderate in length ; marginal ciliation at the apex shorter than 

 that along the cephalic wing margin, but around the apex to the caudal 

 margin, lengthening, becoming very long a fourth of the distance 

 toward the dilatation, the longest there being nearly seven-eighths the 

 greatest wing width (they are at the greatest wing width). The long- 

 est marginal cilia of the posterior wings are three and a half times 

 longer than the mean width of the blade of these wings, long and 

 slender, but distinctly shorter than the longest cilia of the fore wing. 

 Marginal cilia of fore wing along caudal margin sloping away in each 

 direction from the longest, in other words gradated. 



Tarsal joints short, tibial spurs single, short, straight ; valves of the 

 ovipositor exserted as in Anagrus armatus (Ashmead). Antennas 

 11-jointed, the club 3-jointed ; as in the type species but the proximal 

 funicle joint is stouter and slightly shorter than the third funicle joint, 

 the second funicle joint is distinctly the longest joint of the funicle, 

 slender ; joints 4, 5 and 6 stouter, subequal to 3 in length, which, how- 

 ever, is slenderer. The club has a lamellate appearance due to the 

 curved articulations between the three segments. Strigil present, the 

 cephalic tibial spurs curved.
