Vol.1] Bradley. — The Taxonomy of the Masarid Wasps 415 



J*. Spots on clypeus, spot on each side of pronotum, legs, except 

 coxae, small median spot on mesonotnm, spot on pleura, most of border 

 of first dorsal segment, spot on each side of second and third dorsal 

 segment, and the second and third ventral segments chestnut ; segments 

 4 to 7 beneath except at apices, club of antenna beneath at base, spot 

 on clypeus, upper part of front and inner orbits, upper margin of 

 pronotum, spot in middle of mesonotnm, 2 small anterior spots and 

 2 posterior touching the tegulae, apex of scutellura, angles of propo- 

 deiim, 2 spots in red border of first dorsal segment, sides and spot in 

 middle of second and third dorsal segments and borders of fourth to 

 sixth, and band on the foui-th and fifth ventral segments yellow. 



Punctuation of front and clypeus fine and close ; of mesonotum 

 coarser, but close ; the posterior part of disc of mesonotum depressed 

 and closely punctate ; scutellum closely punctate, propodeal angles 

 mucronate. Dorsal segments moderately depressed and but scantily 

 punctate at base, the apices finely punctate ; second ventral segment 

 without tubercles. 



Squama moderately thick, obtuse, densely pubescent on the inner 

 side, and with a small pubescent patch on the outer side at tip ; sagitta 

 trigonal with obtuse tip and sharply carinated angles, about half as 

 long as the uncus ; this long, slender, strongly but gradually decurved 

 toward the tip, with a carina but not a barb beneath near the base. 



5- Antenna, apex of clypeus, pronotum, legs except coxae, spot on 

 scutellum, stripe on first dorsal segment (with included yellow spot), 

 large spot on each side of second segment, chestnut ; spot on clypeus, 

 on face, orbits, narrow upper border of pronotum, tegulae, spot on 

 pleura, on apex of scutellum, angles of propodeum, sides and middle 

 of apex of first dorsal segment, apical margins of remaining dorsal 

 segments and of the ventral segments yellow, the yellow on the abdo- 

 men obscure ; front except on the white spot and vertex with regular, 

 round, dense but separated punctures, irregular and smaller behind the 

 ocelli ; clypeus with minute punctuation in addition to coarser punc- 

 tures; dorsum punctured like the front, but in the depressed area 

 before the scutellum densely granular punctate ; abdomen opaque, 

 densely finely and evenly punctate.
