23. EUPELMUS MOTSCHULSKINI new species. 
Female :—Length, 4.30 mm. Long and slender. Valves of ovipositor extruded a short 
distance, distal half whitish. 
Dark metallic purple, the antenne and legs concolorous except the brownish tarsi and 
tips of all tibi#; but hind tibie at a little over proximal half silvery white. Middle tibiz with 
black teeth. Hind tibial spurs double. Scape compressed, the pedicel long but a little shorter 
than funicle 2 which is longest; pedicel subequal to funicles 3 and 4; funicle 1 small, 
quadrate, somewhat less than a third the length of 2. Funicle 8 a little wider than long, much 
longer than 1, not quite half the length of 2. Fore wing infuscated slightly at extreme base 
and from the bend of the submarginal vein out distad of venation but there are two more or 
less distinct cross-bands formed by accentuations, one (more obscure) at proximal margin of 
the infuscation and one in the form of a rectangle from the postmarginal vein and not reaching 
caudad of the middle of the blade. A clear streak across the middle of the infuscation but 
obscure. Vertex narrow between the eyes. Scutum pilose. Segments 2-5 of abdomen incised 
at meson of caudal margin, the abdomen longer than the rest of the body, the incision of 
segment 2 very deep, of 4 shallow, concave. Abdomen densely scaly, segment 7 longest, some- 
what longer than 2. Head and thorax alutaceous. Scutellum declivous. Ridges of seutum 
carinated.

and the tarsi yellowish white. Teeth on middle tarsi black, middle of valves of ovipositor white, 
the distal black portion subequal to the white and longer than the proximal black portion. 
Antenne wholly concolorous; funicle 1 quadrate, 2 twice longer than 1, distinctly longer than 
wide, 3 and 4 longest, each slightly longer than 2, a little shorter than the pedicel; distal 
funicle joint quadrate but larger than 1. Hind tibize with but one spur. Front femur not 
swollen. Postmarginal and stigmal veins short, subequal. Body (wholly) rather coarsely 
sealy. 
From one female captured in forest, January 4, 1914 (A. P. Dodd).

yet distinctly washed with submetallic on the femora and tibiwe (except cephalic tibia). 
Antenne concolorous; scape compressed; pedicel elongate, longer than any of the funicle 
joints of which 3 and 4 are longest, 1 a little longer than wide, 2 a little shorter than 3, 
about twice its own width. Distal two funicle joints plainly wider than long. Middle tibiz 
with black teeth; hind tibiew with one spur. Very finely scaly, the abdomen coarser.
