Length of body 1.5 mm.; length of forewing 2.7 mm.; greatest width 1.0 

 mm. ; widtli of vertex between eyes .44 mm. ; with eyes .75 mm. General color 

 light to dark brown, to the naked eye; striped and banded on head and thorax; 

 vertex black, with a whitish band liordering it and a white macula in center 

 of discal area ; dorsulum with a white stripe along median dorsal line, and a 

 recurved stripe on each side extending from posterior margin semicircularly 

 to near tegular epiphyses ; scutum with a stripe on each side of the median 

 dorsal line and an arcuate stripe sublaterad. Body very small and short. 



Head deflexed. with eyes about as broad as thorax, very finely punctate. 

 Posterior margin of vertex arcuate, slightly raised narrowly ; vertex elevated 

 plate-like ; pubescent ; discal area with a slight foveal impression posteriorly, 

 quite plane except the elevated occUar regions ; scarcely emarginate at 

 median suture anteriorly. Anterior ocellus visible from in front. Facial cones 

 small, acute, divergent, almost horizontal, moderately pubescent ; not easily 

 visible from side. Antennae inserted on frons and outer base of facial cones. 

 Labrum rather large, easily visible from in front. 



Thorax arched, punctate. Pronotum short, slightly arched, depressed below 

 dorsulum, anterior margin lower than post-ocellar regions of vertex, proepi- 

 meron mostly concealed ; forecoxje small. Dorsulum small, subacute cephalad. 

 Metasternal spurs small. Wings small, hyaline, about two and three-fourths 

 times as long as broad, broadest across first furcal, subacute apically ; radius 

 about as long as second cubital; first cubital long; first marginal cell some- 

 what smaller than second ; venation light yellowish brown. 



Male. — Abdomen very short, more slender than in female. Genital segment 

 rather short, larger than preceding ventral sclerite ; claspers long arcuate, mar- 

 gins parallel, obtuse at apex ; pubescence sparse and brief. Anal valve long, 

 rather narrow, with a small rounded epiphysis on each flap posteriorly ; 

 pubescence longer than on genital plate. Female. — Genital segment very small ; 

 ventral plate very short, acute caudad ; dorsal plate about as large preceding 

 tergite, subacute at apex ; genital pore almost half as long as dorsal plate ; 

 pubescence sparse. 



Described from numerous males and females collected by C. F. P>aker in
