tibiae except dusky apices, tegulse, vein bases, lines between pro-

9 . Length 7 mm. Areola open anteriorly; face more coarsely 

 punctate. Ovipositor bearing eggs. Thorax, except pronotum,

cf . Length 7 mm. Slight, head not so swollen, as wide as 

 thorax. Claws slender, with 4-5 small teeth. Distance from eye 

 to eye almost equal to that from ocellus to clypeus. Malar line 

 equals one-half the base of clypeus. Antenna with 31 segments, 

 5-16th swollen. Tenth segment one-third again as wide and two- 

 thirds as long as first flagellar segment which is three and two- 

 thirds times as long as wide at apex and the same length as scape 

 and pedicel. Parapsidal furrows faint. Pleurae swollen. Basal 

 transverse carinse wanting. Abdomen sessile, carinae extending 

 three-fourths the length of the petiole, which equals, in length, the 

 apical width. Third segment twice as broad as long and not as 

 wide as thorax. Legs slender. Areolet rhomboidal, petiolate. 

 Face densely, punctate, thorax rather coarsely so, abdomen 

 sparsely so, except petiole, which is coarsely so at base and rugulose

 third times the distance from eye to eye. Malar line one-half the 

 basal width of mandible. Clypeus narrow with transverse ridge 

 near base. Antennae with 34-35 segments. First flagellar seg-
