From one female taken in jungle, March 6, 1914 (A. P. Dodd).

Sooty black, the scutellum and propodeum contrasting bright golden yellow, also ventral 
third of head, the antennw and legs pale yellow but the distal two joints of the club a little 
dusky. Parapsidal furrows yellowish brown; fore wings dusky margin to margin under all 
of marginal vein. Differs from ZEncarsia aurithoraz in general coloration; funicle 1 is 
distinctly longer and the stigmal vein somewhat shorter and parallel with cephalic wing margin; 
also in aurithorax the hind coxa and femur is distinctly infuscated. Differs from albiscutel- 
lum schilleri in having the propodeum golden yellow, the i:unicle joints much longer and so on. 
From antiopa in its much darker color, having the entire scutum black except lateral margins 
very narrowly, the propodeum light yellow aod the hind wings decidedly broader and the 
greater size. Parapside yellowish cephalad. Funicle J thrice longer than wide, 2 and 3
