The male the same but the three spots on middle thorax are more 

 or less connected transversely (they are in a line in both sexes), the 

 scutellum is all black except its margin all around, the scutimi is entirely 

 black and on each parapside there is an exclamation-point-shaped 

 marking at cephalic margin, this transverse and with the thickened end 

 laterad (sometimes present in the female). The abdomen is yellow, 

 striped with black. Scape very short, the pedicel extremely so; funicle 

 joints lengthening distad, the longest about thrice longer than wide; 

 club joint distinctly longer than funicle 1. 



Described from one male, seven females reared from an egg- 

 mass of a leaf hopper on' orange, Caroni, British West Indies, 

 February, 1913 (F. W. Urich).

Dark metallic green, the propodeum bright green, the wings hyaline, 

 the venation, abdomen, pedicel and basal half of funicle 1, reddish 

 yellow; legs and scape light yellow. Abdomen with five distinct metallic 

 blackish cross-stripes, the first thinnest, at apex of segment 2, 5 at 

 apex, 4 as long as 5 and apparently across the middle of segment 6, 

 3 mostly on the basal four-fifths of segment 5. Tip of ovipositor valves 

 black. Mandibles 3- and -t-dentate. Head and thorax finely punctate, 

 the clypeus striate, incised medially. Segment 2 of abdomen occupying 

 nearly a third of the surface, smooth, rest of abdomen finely scaly along 

 cephalic margin of the segments; a little scaliness on segment 2. Scu- 

 tellum without an obtuse cross-carina. Propodeum with a distinct 

 median carina, no lateral one but there is an obscure cross-carina from 

 the median one cephalad to the spiracle and short longitudinal carinae 

 from the cephalic margin to this and dividing foveae (extending for a 

 little over half way to the spiracle from the meson). Also on the short 

 neck there are short carinae. Spiracle of propodeum longer than wide; 

 of moderate size. Antennae inserted below the middle of the face yet 

 slightly above the ventral ends of the eyes, 13-jointed with two ring- 

 joints; funicle 1 elongate, widening distad, over twice longer than wide 

 at apex, distinctly longer than the rather long pedicel which is twice 

 longer than wide, slender, 6 wider than long, 4 quadrate; second ring- 

 joint twice the length of the first. A marginal spot on the abdomen a 

 little distad of middle of segment 2. Parapsidal furrows about two- 

 thirds complete, not deep. Marginal vein slightly longer than the 

 elongate stigmal, the latter a little shorter than the postmarginal. 



The male is the same but the abdomen has a broad white stripe 

 across it some little distance out from base (longer than the basal 

 black and extending a little beyond segment 2, the latter longer than in 

 the female) followed by a cross-stripe of black which is narrow and
