Figs. 275, 572 



This species may be recognized by its small size, broad form, nar- 

 row vertex which is deeply notched posteriorly and distinct male 

 genitalia. 



Vertex narrow, triangular before, posterior border deeply emargi- 

 nate ; f rons very narrow at the base, broad at the apex, the side mar- 

 gins nearly straight ; clypeus shorter than the f rons. Mesonotum 

 distinctly five carinae ; pygof er of the male rather slender, the ventral 

 tooth broad at the base, suddenly constricted apically ; the genital 

 styles broadly excavated at the base, nearly touching in the middle 

 line apically, the apical portion reflexed and produced into an acute 

 tooth laterally, the anal segment broad, hood like, almost enclosing 

 the tips of the genital styles. 



Color : General color blackish fuscous ; the eyes brown, vertex 

 and disk of the mesonotum, the clypeus of the female brownish fus- 

 cous ; wings a little smoky with veins fuscous apically ; all the veins 

 strongly punctate ; legs testaceous yellow, the coxa? and femora 

 blackish fuscous. 



Length, male, apex of head to apex of abdomen 2.60 mm. ; to the 

 tips of the wings 3.85 mm. Female, apex of head to apex of abdomen

This species may be recognized by its small size, narrow vertex 

 with the genital styles of the male about as long as the ventral sinus.

 narrowed between the eyes, about half as wide at the base as at the 

 apex ; mesonotum quinquecarinate ; the intermediate carinae rather 

 faint ; wings strongly and uniformly punctate ; male pygof er with 

 median tooth simple ; triangular, the ventral sinus deep ; the genital 

 styles rather broad at the base, constricted near the apex, the inner 

 and outer angles about equally produced.
