furrows deep and broad, the scutellum rounded posteriorly, and smooth. Post- 
scutelluin obtusely triangular, striate, separated from the scutellum by a semi- 
circle of small foveae on the posterior margin of the latter. .A.bdomen regularly 
ovate (dorsal aspect), its tip abruptly pointed and acute, apical segment hairy at 
tip; polished. Segments i and 2 about equal, one-half longer than 3 and 4. 
Wings normal, iridescent, the marginal fringes moderately long. Venation pale 
yellowish. Petiole yellowish. 
.\ntennae 9-jointed. Scape longer than pedicel, nearly as long as pedicel 
and first funicle joint combined. Pedicel cylindrical oval, not as long as joint 
4; 3 much smaller, subequal to, or slightly larger than. 7 and 8; 4 long, cylindric, 
by far the longest funicle joint, shorter than scape, or slightly shorter than joints 
5 and 6 combined. Joints 5 and 6 equal, oval, each much shorter than 4, much 
longer than 7 or 8; the latter equal or subequal to 3, or smaller. 9, or the club, 
conspicuously larger, elliptical. 
Supposedly bred from the eggs of Anthonomus quadri^ihbus Say in the 
fruit of Crataegus, sent in by Mr. J. H. Beattie from Fort Valley, Georgia, in con- 
nection with the Deciduous Fruit Insect Investigations, Bureau of Entomology, 
United States Department of Agriculture. The supposition is doubtful, the eggs 
of other insects evidently being present, as four distinct Mymarids and one 
species of Trichogrammidae appeared from time to time from the jars containing 
the infested fruit. These were species of Gonatocerus, Polynema, and Ooctonus, 
genera of Mymarida;, and an undescribed Trichogrammid, near Paraceutrolua. 
The hosts are therefore but obscurely indicated. Described from two females.
