parapsidal furrows well defined; scutellum more finely sculptured 

 than the mesoscutum; scutellar cross furrow very distinct; the apex 

 of scutellum not so coarsely sculptured; propodeum rather smooth, 

 the anterior margin along the outer one-third on each side of the mid- 

 dle, with pits ; coxae greenish brown w^ith a crimson tinge in some 

 lights; femora infuscated in middle with a greenish tint on the out- 

 side; tibiae testaceous; veins of wings pale yellow; marginal veins 

 five-eighths as long as the submarginal; stigmal vein sessile. Abdo-

Described from one female from Grenada, West Indies, collected 

 by H. H. Smith. 



Type locality. — St. Vincent. 



Host. — Unknown. 



Until both sexes of this species are taken together it can not be 

 definitely said that the sexes have been correctly associated but 

 Ashmead had determined the female described above as conspecific 

 with the male and I have thought best to allow his determination 

 to stand.
