Tonjmus lividus (Ashmead) Ashmead, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, vol. 14, 1887, 

 p. 188. 



The original description is as follows: 



Female. — Length 2.5 mm.; ovipositor 1.5 mm. Deep blue. The space back 

 of eyes and face above mouth, metallic green; apical portion of scutellum and 

 metathorax smooth, not punctured; legs rufous v/ith femora above blue; tarsi 

 honey yellow. The two apical abdominal segments are green and the ovipositor 

 is black, excepting a pale spot at the base. 



Type localit)/. — Jacksonville, Fla. 



Host. — Unknown. 



Type.—Csit. No. 25321, U.S.N.M. 



Ashmead described this species from two specimens taken at large. 

 It had never been given a type number nor entered in the type 

 book. Only one specimen labeled as this species was found in the 

 collection; the head and abdomen are entirely gone and parts of the 

 legs are missing. However, after careful study of the parts remain- 

 ing, I am convinced that this specimen is one of the types. 



In addition to the description above I have noted the following: 



The thoracic dorsum is finely transversely reticulated, the reticu- 

 lations being elongate; the scutellar apex is shining; the femora and 

 hind tibiae are shining brown and the other tibiae ferruginous; the 

 hind coxae are purpurescent with a crimson tint in some lights. 

 Stigmal vein sessile.

Female.— Length 2.3 mm.; ovipositor 1.8 mm. Mostly bronzy 

 brown with a slight greenish reflection in some lights. Head dis- 

 tinctly wider than the thorax ; seen from above minutely sculptured 

 and with numerous silvery bristles below the antennae and with a 

 row of short white bristles along the margin of the eyes; almost des- 

 titute of hairs above the antennae; scape light brown with a few 

 short stout whitish bristles, the flagellum brown; ocelli and eyes red- 

 dish. Thorax minutely, transversely reticulately rugose; parapsidal 

 grooves scarcely perceptible appearing only as dark lines; scutellum 

 more finely sculptured than the mesoscutum; the scutellar cross 

 furrow a little beyond the apical one-third; scutellar apex very feebly 

 sculptured and hence highly polished; front coxae brownish, meta- 

 pleura, mid and hind coxae with a brilliant crimson tint, except at 

 the tips of coxae; femora and tibiae light brown, the tarsus whitish
