the length of segment 4; segment 7, with its not long stylus, 
subequal in length with segment 2 (first body segment). Ovi- 
positor distinctly exserted to a length equal to about two thirds 
fhe length of segment 7. In the direct dorsal aspect, immediately 
tollowing the scutellum, there are on the metathorax across the 
median line, four large polygonal foveae arranged in the form of 
a cross; from the distal one, an acute median carina proceeds to 
the apex of the metathorax; the whole of the latter is foveolate 
and irregularly roughened. Axillae longitudinally striate. Proximal 
joint of posterior tarsi long, nearly as long as the next three joints 
combined. 
Antennae 13-jointed, one ring-joint, 3-jointed club, slender. 
Scape long, cylindrical and slender, about as long as the first 
two funicle joints combined; pedicel long, obconie but not half 
the length of the long proximal funicle joint; funicle joints 2 and 
3 subequal, each somewhat over half the length of the first joint 
each distincetly longer than the pedicel; joints 4 and 5 subequal, 
a third shorter; 6 and 7 shortening but 7 still distinetly longer 
than wide; club conic-ovate, its joints shortening distad, the first 
only slightly longer than wide, the second wider than long, the 
third conical. Pubescence of antenna distinct, soft, not long, some 
of the hairs broadened at base. Ocelli in a triangle, none near 
the eyes.

Female:— Length, 3.1 mm. 
Aeneous bronze or reddish pink, with a metallic bronzy tinge 
the head, excepting face below the antennae, aeneous black; 
apical three fourths of the scutellum, proximal half of the ab- 
domen, pleura of mesothorax, tip of stylus, cephalic femora and 
coxae, arather broad ring around 'distal half of intermediate tibiae 
and tips of distal tarsal joints black or brown black; legs, in- 
cluding coxae, otherwise white; antennae brown black, excepting 
the pale yellowish scape, pedicel, ring-joint, long first funicle 
joint and the club; distal funicle joint becoming pallid at apex; 
pedicel suffused with dusky. Proximal half or two thirds of the 
distal half of the abdomen brownish yellow, shading off into the 
blackish of the stylus. Fore wings hyaline, marked with faint 
sooty as follows: A small spot just under the curve of the sub- 
marginal vein and another more obscure and opposite at the 
caudal margin; a wedge-shaped line across the wing from the
