120 ^' Arsöne Girault: 



Normal position. 



Normal for tlie subfamily and tribe and the genus Closterocerus 

 Westwood in habitus and fore wings but the antennae are but 

 7-jointed, the funicle 2-jointed, the ring-joint absent; flagellum not 

 so conspicuously compressed fusiform, the pedicel large. Fore wings 

 with moderately long marginal fringes. Body sculptured. 



F e m a 1 e : — Vertex (dorsal aspect) thin, the occiput deeply 

 concaved, the lateral ocelli close to the eye margin, the eyes prominent, 

 their surfaces rough; head and thorax with prominent sculpture, 

 which on the mesothorax becomes close, distinct punctation ; parapsidal 

 furrows complete, widely separated, moderately short and regularly 

 curved; mesocutellum prominent, peltate, regularly rounded caudad, 

 its disk impressed, its edges raised but not acute, only prominent 

 margins, bearing no longitudinal grooved lines, its cephalic margin 

 straight; abdomen rounded ovate, its ovipositor not exserted, sessile, 

 the petiole not distinct, extremely short, barely indicated, normal 

 to the tribe, abdomen not any longer than the thorax ; the mesopost- 

 scutellum apparently very short and curved attached to the apex of 

 the scutellum, its posterior margin ridged and convex, forming a 

 small hemispherical ridged sclerite, impressed within and not easily 

 visible at the apex of the scutellum. 



Antennae moderately long, normal, not greatly compressed as 

 in Closterocerus Westwood, cylindrical, most of the joints longer than 

 wide or as long as wide, 7-jointed, scape, pedicel, 2 funicle joints and 

 a 3-jointed club, the terminal club Joint ending in a long acuminate 

 spine-like seta and itself acuminate, the frist funicle Joint short, wider 

 than long, shorter than the pedicel. 



Fore wings moderate in width, regularly rounded distad, the 

 marginal fringes moderate in length, not more than a fourth as long 

 as the greatest wing width, the discal ciliation not uniform, moderately 

 dense, but grouped and conspicuous in two transverse rows, one at 

 the apex and one at the stigmal vein, the latter most conspicuous 

 and longest, these two rows corresponding with the two transverse 

 fumated bands crossing the wings; between these m.öre conspicuously 

 ciliated areas, the ciliation is distinctly less conspicuous, the cilia 

 minute, nearly invisible, casually appearing as a naked area crossing 

 the wing; marginal vein very long and straight, one and a half times 

 longer than the short submarginal vein, the postmarginal vein merely 

 appearing as the prolonged apex of the obliquely truncate end of the 

 marginal vein, the stigmal vein projecting from the opposite angle of the 

 truncation, gourd-shaped, the knob on a short petiole being ovate 

 and bearing the uncus closer to the petiole than to the apex of the 

 knob. Posterior wings bearing the discal ciliation mostly under (caudad) 

 the marginal vein and from thence half-way distad to the apex, not 

 denser than three or four longitudinal rows, the latter not in regulär 

 lines; ciliation absent distad, excepting for the usual line at each 

 margin; the marginal cilia short on the cephalic margin but as long 

 on the caudal margin as the moderately long m.arginal cilia of the
