three carinae, the laterals abbreviated ; metanotum with a trapezoidal area 



Fioria Kieffer T3'pe (Callirhytis marianii Kieff.) 



34. Mesonotal furrows rarely complete, vaguely defined or abbreviated anteriorly, 

 the middle furrow of the middle mesothoracic lobe sometimes more or less 

 impressed but never completely defined from base to apex, usually distinct 

 only posteriorly, the glabrous or grooved abbreviated lines anteriorly and on 

 the scapulae frequently present ; antennae in 9 13-14-jointed, in $ 14-, 15-, 

 or i6-jointed; wings usually pubescent .... Andricus Hartig 



(Type A. trilineatus Hartig.) 

 Mesonotal furrows sharply defined, complete, the middle mesothoracic lobe 

 also with a distinct, entire, median grooved line; scapulae with an abbreviated 

 grooved line ; head very full behind the eyes; antennae in 9 15- or i6-jointed, 

 the seven joints before the last only a little longer than thick ; front wings 

 hyaline, bare or nearly; abdomen ovate, the sheaths of the ovipositor not at 

 all exserted ........ Trisolenia Ashmead 



(Type T. saltata Ashm.) 



35. Mesonotum not or scarcely longer than wide, with the parapsidal furrows 

 complete ............ 36 



Mesonotum very distinctly longer than wide. 



Thorax usually finely transversely rugulose or shagreened, the scutellum a 

 little longer than wide, subconvex, not distinctly separated from the meso- 

 notum by a delicate grooved line at base, but with two minute, transverse 

 oblique, nearly obsolete foveae ; scapulae with a trace of a glabrous longi- 

 tudinal line; head distinctly wider than the thorax, dilated behind the 

 eyes, shagreened; antennae in 9 13-14-jointed, the third joint nearly 

 as long as 4-5 united, the 8th joint and those beyond distinctly thicker ; 

 wings hyaline, the areolet sometimes incompletely closed ; abdomen much 

 compressed, as seen from the side, not or scarcely longer than high 



Bassettia Ashmead (Type B. floridana Ashm.) 



36. Mesonotum with the parapsidal furrows complete but delicate and somewhat 

 widely separated, the scapulae with a grooved line, the scutellum cushion- 

 shaped, a little longer than wide, with an arcuate transverse impressed line at 

 base due to the union of the two shallow, scarcely perceptible foveae; head 

 wider than the thorax, dilated and bulging out behind the eyes ; antennae in 

 9 long, 13- or 14-jointed, with joints 3-5 equal or very nearly; front wings 



with a macula or cloud at base of the marginal cell and also more or less 



along the basal nervure ; abdomen strongly compressed, lenticular, not longer 



than high, as seen from the side, with the sheaths of the ovipositor prominent
