1909] GIRAULT AND SANDERS — CHALCIDOID PARASITES 125 
fulvous. Wings hyaline, the venation fulvous. Ventum concolorous, or sometimes, 
including the thoracic pleura, with a steel bluish color. 
The whole of the head densely reticulated with polygonal figures similar to that 
of the mesothoracic dorsum and about of the same roughness as the surface of the 
eye, the surface of the clypeus, however, longitudinally rugulose; ocelli oval, the 
lateral ones with their apices oblique, the cephalic one with its axis transverse (latero- 
laterad); lateral ocelli about the same distance from the cephalic ocellus as they are 
from the respective eye margins, but much wider apart from each other. 
Pro- and mesonota polygonally sculptured like the head, not punctate, the 
former not as broad as the latter; cephalic and caudal margins of the scutum straight, 
the caudal margin slightly broken at the axillae; the axillar sutures, as usual, widen- 
ing caudad and transversely carinate; scutellum widest at the transverse grooved 
line or suture, somewhat acorn-shaped, at its base against the mesoscutum, impressed 
transversely the impression or suture bearing short longitudinal carinae, closer and 
shorter than those on the surface of the mesopostscutellum; the latter sclerite trans- 
verse, slightly convexly curved, widening laterad, impressed and with longitudinal 
ridges, its caudal margin carinated; scutellum not as long as the scutum, but nearly 
so; cephalic margin of the mesopostscutellum carinated or acute in the direct dorsal 
aspect; sculpture of the metanotum coarser, punctate, especially the disk or that 
portion included between the lateral carinae; metanotum not as long as the scutel- 
lum but as wide as the widest portion of the mesothorax, its pleurum bearing a 
moderately large clump of stiff white hairs ventrad of the spiracle, its caudo-lateral 
angles subacute and at the caudal end of the median carina is a slight rising or neck 
just cephalad of which is a transverse line of a few large punctures or obscure depres- 
sions, extending from side to side. Pleura of thorax sculptured as the metanotum, 
but more coarsely, the intermediate and cephalic coxae nearly smooth, the caudal coxae 
reticulated. Hairs on body sparse, no conspicuous pubescence. 
Abdomen delicately, minutely polygonally reticulated; tip of ovipositor fuscous. 
Proximal joint of the caudal tarsi longest, the apical joint next longest, the second 
joint third in length about a third shorter than the proximal joint and the third and 
fourth joints subequal, shortest, not quite half the length of the proximal joint. 
Caudal halves of segments 5-8 of abdomen with fine pubescence, less and less so 
on proximal segments. 
Antennae short, stout, clavate, not compressed, flagellum (funicle + club) his- 
pidi-pubescent, the pubescence dense enough to conceal the true surface of the joints 
or the sculpture of them. Scape slightly compressed, its margins nearly straight, very 
slightly convexed at their centers and slightly narrower distad, bearing minute, fine,
