Figure 29 



This species may be separated from all others by the comparative 

 length of the first funicle joint. 



Female — Length 2.75 mm.; ovipositor 1.2 mm. Cupreous in re- 

 flected light; tinged with green in natural light. Head transverse, 

 wuder than the thorax; viewed from the front five-sevenths as long 

 as wide and very strongly depressed; scape, except at base, cupreous, 

 long, slender, and extending to the median ocellus; pedicel cupreous, 

 the rest of the flagellum brown; pedicel almost as long as first and 

 second funicular joints, but not as long as wide; first joint of funicle 

 about one-half as long as the second, the other joints gradually grow- 

 ing wider toward the tip; vertex highly rugose; ocelli pinkish, the 

 eyes red. Thoracic dorsum minutely reticulately rugose; parapsidal 

 furrows distinct and green; sculpture of the scutellum longitudinally 

 rugose, the cross furrow indicated only by a less deeply sculptured 

 apex; propodeum. smooth and shining; wings moderately ciliate, 

 veins brown; marginal vein two-thirds as long as the submarginal, 

 the stigmal vein sessile; femora and tibiae cupreous, the hind ones 

 with a greenish tinge; tarsi testaceous, the last joint brown. Abdo-

 long as abdomen.
