78 PSYCHE [August 
whole of the mesothorax slightly darker, deep pale cadmium yellow, the dorsum of 
the metathorax, cephalic aspect of pronotum and dorsum of abdomen slightly dusky, 
legs (including coxae) paler, excepting the dusky apical tarsal joint of the cephalic 
legs and the extreme tips of the others; mandibles fuscous apically, the intermediate 
tooth slightly the largest; ventum concolorous with body, paler; scape and pedicel 
and the 2 apical funicle joints concolorous, the scape with some dusky above at distal 
end, the funicle dusky yellow, the basal club joint black; venation pallid yellow; 
wings hyaline, the discal cilia dense; postmarginal vein absent; incisions of ab- 
dominal segments, dorsad, pale. At the caudo-lateral margin of the pronotum in 
the dorso-lateral aspect, on each side, is a single small black dot. Eyes yellowish 
green with scattered minute hairs; ocelli in an acute-angled triangle, ruby red, each 
with a yellowish area; the distance between the lateral ocelli and the eye margin is 
much less than that between them and the cephalic ocellus; the lateral ocelli are 
much further from the occipital, than from the eye margin. 
Vertex, pro-, and mesonotum delicately, hexagonally sculptured, the setae 
arising from moderately large scattered punctures; the cheeks and face delicately 
rugose, with punctures like that of the mesothorax; the sculpture of the vertex, 
pronotum, and mesonotum sub-alutaceous; axillae transversely triangular, meeting 
at the meson; scutellum peltate; mesopleura delicately, polygonally sculptured, in 
balsam mounted specimens distinctly longitudinally striate. 
Hypopygium projecting slightly beyond the abdomen; basal club joint deep 
black. 
Antennae eleven-jointed, the club being distinctly three-segmented. Scape, 
pedicel, and two apical funicle joints concolorous, the penultimate distal funicle joint, 
however, with some dusky, and the distal two club joints somewhat pallid. Scape 
slightly dilated as in the male, at the center of one margin; pedicel and funicle the 
same; funicle joints 1-4 subequal, globose or subglobose, funicle 1 slightly longer 
than joints 2 and 3, and funicle 4 slightly longer than funicle 1, and more transverse; 
funicle joints 5 and 6 much wider, 6 nearly one-third longer and wider than the 
preceding joint. Club joints unequal, 1 longest and deep black, 2 nearly one-half 
shorter than 1 and the distal joint conical and smaller; distal 2 club joints dusky. 
(From many specimens, 3-inch objective, l-inch optic, Bausch and Lomb). 
Male: — Length, 0.90 mm. ‘The same, more slender and smaller. Genitalia 
not exserted. 
Antennae 9-jointed, the club very indistinctly triparted by transverse sutures, 
visible under high power; scape but slightly dilated; pedicel as long as the next two 
joints combined; funicle moniliform, joints 1 and 2 subequal, smallest, 2 slightly
