19. GYROLASELLA RARIFASCIATUS new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.75 mm. Postmarginal vein about half the length of the stigmal. 



Lemon yellow, the wings hyaline, the following parts dark metallic green: Occiput 

 except the white ventral fourth, a concave stripe across cephalic margin of clypeus with a 

 projection dorsad at meson and more broadly curving across cheeks around the outline of the 

 ventral ends of the eyes to the occiput; two small spots along the mesal margin of the eye one 

 beneath the other, the upper spot really the ventral end of a metallic green line between the 

 ocelli and running from them down the eye; ocellar areas; prothorax except ventro-lateral 

 aspect; scutum except lateral margin very narrowly; axillae except lateral and caudal margins, 

 scutellum except narrowly around apex, more broadly laterad of the grooves; postscutellum 

 except lateral and apical margins continuously; propodeum excepting a narrow transverse 

 stripe laterad of middle of postscutellum; base of abdomen circularly (abdominal markings 

 purplish black), tip of abdomen shortly and six cross-stripes, the first four very broadly joined 

 along the meson, the fourth to fifth rather narrowly so, the fifth to the sixth broadly again 

 as though the caudal meson of the fifth was prolonged in the shape of a beehive to the sixth, 

 the latter convexed at meson caudad but not joined to the black at tip; stripe 5 with each end 

 along margin turned cephalad a short distance; each arm of stripes 1-4 slanted caudo-laterad. 

 Legs lemon yellow; cephalic coxa with a metallic green spot at base cephalad, femur with a 

 metallic green stripe along dorsal and ventral aspects, on caudal femur, the two joined across 

 lateral aspect at base, the ventral streak short ; caudal coxa laterad with a green line across base 

 and half way down the ventral margin; mesoventer; most of meson of abdomen (coppery); 

 dorsal aspect of scape and pedicel; a small spot against base of antenna meso-dorsad. 

 Mandibles tridentate. Flagellum dusky. Thorax densely scaly.

20. GYROLASELLA .ffiREIGUTTATA new species. 

 Female: — Length, 0.80 mm. 



Pale golden yellow, the wings hyaline, marked with dark .metallic green as follows: 

 Ocellar area, a dot on extreme latero-caudal angle of pronotum, two large hemispherical spots 

 on cephalic scutum at cephalic margin, one on each side, midway between meson and lateral 

 margin (reaching to apex of proximal fourth), mesal margins of each parapside, a rather 

 large oval spot on the axilla, a small triangle base of scutellum at meson, a longer than wide 

 spot laterad of apical scutellum and a wider than long one on propodeum opposite base of 

 postscutellum; a small triangle at meson of base of abdomen, a rather broad cross-stripe on 

 abdomen, abbreviated near lateral margins at a little proximad of middle followed by a rather 

 large central triangular spot. Tip of valves of ovipositor black. Dorsal edge of scape metallic. 

 Mandibles 4-dentate.
