AET. 3 SOME NEW CHALCID-PLIES TIMBERLAKE 29 



head being strongly convex from side to side, but the cheeks sub- 

 arcuately converge toward the broadly truncate oral margin; as 

 seen from the side the outline of head is subtriangular, the occipital 

 margin bulging moderately, the facial side nearly straight, about 

 one-fourth longer than the dorsal side and meeting its plane in an 

 angle of about 90°, the dorsal outline moderately rounded, sloping 

 forward and downward, its angulation with the face rounded off. 

 Occiput a little concave, the neck inserted near the center, its dorsal 

 margin rounded; eyes moderately large, broadly subtriangularly 

 oval, strongly diverging below in frontal vein of head, the posterior 

 margin slightly emarginate, the facial margin about one-half as 

 long as the dorsal margin and forming an obtuse rounded angula- 

 tion with it; frontovertex less than one-third as wide as the whole 

 head, nearly twice as long as its posterior width and slightly widen- 

 ing anteriorly; ocelli in an equilateral triangle, the anterior ocellus 

 near the center of the frontovertex, the posterior pair about one-half 

 their own diameter from the eye margin and remote from the oc- 

 cipital border; cheeks not short, yet considerably shorter than the 

 width of the eyes, the genal suture very distinct; face very slightly 

 convex from side to side, the antennal sockets situated nearly on the 

 ocular line, more than twice their own length apart, distinctly 

 closer to the eye margin than to each other and about equidistant 

 from each other and the oral margin; scrobal impression above the 

 sockets rather shallow, short, and semicircular, its margin not 

 sharply angulated but vague, its cavity divided medially for about 

 two-thirds of its length by the obscurely triangular prominence 

 between the sockets. 



Antenna hardly more than one-half as long as the body, moder- 

 ately clavate; scape slender, a little compressed, slightly the widest 

 near the middle, reaching for nearly one-half of its length beyond 

 the scrobal impression; pedicel somewhat more than twice as long 

 as thick at apex, distinctly longer than the following joint but not 

 equal to the next two joints combined; funicle joints about equal in 

 length but increasing considerably in width distad, the first longer 

 than wide, slenderer than the pedicel, the second similar, but wider, 

 the sixth nearly twice as wide as long; club pointed ovate, rounded 

 at apex, as broad at base as the preceding joint and as long as the 

 last three funicle joints combined, its three joints subequal in length. 



Mandibles with three acute, nearly equal teeth, the apex a little 

 oblique to the basal expansion but not so much that it can not be 

 seen when the mandible lies flat. Maxillary palpi four-jointed, the 

 third joint a little longer than thick, the second somewhat longer 

 than the third, the basal joint about twice as long as the third, the 

 apical joint nearly twice as long as the basal and slenderly fusiform; 

 labial palpi three-jointed, stout, the basal joint the thickest and
