78. CALLIMOME CALIFORNICUM, variety SUBDOLUM, new variety 



Similar to Figure 41 



This variety is very closely related to Callimome californicum Ash- 

 mead and may easily be mistaken for it; characters indicated in the 

 key with those mentioned below will help to separate the variety. 



Female. — Length 3.5 mm.; ovipositor 3.5 mm. Thorax green with 

 a golden tint in some lights. Head viewed from the front coppery 

 green, coarsely reticulately punctate and clothed moderately with 

 white hairs; facial carina low but very wide and extending to margin 

 of clypeus; antennal depression almost as deep as the diameter of the 

 scape and cupreous within; scape testaceous, the flagellum brown, 

 the pedicel and ring-joint darker and together as long as first funicle 

 joint which is about one-fifth longer than wide and not more than 

 four-fifths as long as the second joint; all joints of funicle longer than 

 wide, of about equal width and clothed with closely set brownish 

 hairs; ocelli maroon, eyes red; the ocellocular line about one and two- 

 fifths times as long as the lateral ocellar line; the diameter of the 

 median ocellus one-third longer than the lateral ocellar line and about 

 four-fifths as wide as the ocellocular line. Thoracic dorsum deeply 

 punctured; pronotum and anterior of mesoscutum coarsely rugose, 

 the large thimble-like punctures not apparent; mesoscutum one-third 

 longer than the scutellum and conspicuously rugose between the large 

 punctures; punctures not so numerous as on the mesoscutum, the 

 anterior one-third mostly finely reticulated, the remaining portion 

 as far as the scutellar cross furrow reticulated between the large punc- 

 tures; scutellar apex finely sculptured and occup^ang one-third of the 

 scutellar area; propodeum feebly rugose, smooth, green, the anterior 

 margin with small pits; coxae greenish-brown, the hind ones coppery; 

 femora brown testaceous with a greenish tinge, the hind ones very 

 slightly enlarged; tibiae dark testaceous, the tip of hind ones brown 

 testaceous; tarsi whitish-yellow; veins brownish; marginal vein not
