 with a median carina which forks at apex and runs along the caudal margin strongly, laterad 

 turning straiglrl cephalad forming a lateral carina which runs directly into the minute, round 

 spiracle at cephalic margin. Propodeum polygonally lined, the sculpture different from the 

 usual fine longitudinal sheening peculiar to the subfamily. Scutellum and postscutellum 

 brownish, rhe ('(inner so only around the margins. 



Prom one female, forest. February 16, 1912 (A. M. Lea and A.A.G.).

12. NEOMPHALOIDELLA SEMIFLAVICEPS new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.25 mm. Slender, the abdomen conical, longer than rest of body. 



Lark metallic purple, the wings hyaline, the legs concolorous except knees, tibiae and 

 tarsi, which together with the propleura, head (except occiput) above antennas (orange yellow) 

 and the pronotum centrally on each side of meson (the latter broadly concolorous) bright 

 lemon yellow. The yellow on pronotum is separated from the yellow of propleura rather 

 narrowly. Antennae dusky. Base and sides of abdomen slightly yellowish. Funicle joints 

 subequal, each slightly longer than wide, somewhat shorter than the pedicel; club with a 

 small terminal seta; funicle 2 narrower than the others. Mandibles with three distinct teeth 

 which are normal. Propodeum very short, apparently without carinas.

 line of abdomen (purplish) rather broadly from base to distal three fourths; two narrow cross- 

 stripes on abdomen (excluding one around base) near base; extreme tip of abdomen; ocellar 

 area; center of occiput; scutellum except laterad of second groove; a large peltate area with 

 an emarginate caudal margin at little less than cephalic half of s utum and not extending 

 laterad to margins, the latter left father broadly yellow; cephalic apex of each parapside rather 

 broadly and a dot just cephalad of it on pronotum; cephalic hall of each axilla; propodeum 

 except laterad of postscutellum (cephalad of spiracle); metapleurum, metaventer, caudal 

 portion of mesopleurum and mesoventer; scape, pedicel above at proximal half, funicle joints
