little beyond the middle. Wings clearly hyaline; humerous testa- 

 ceous; ulna and cubitus blackish, on the latter a fuscous fascia. 

 Abdomen smooth, shining, coppery. The posterior edge of basal 

 segment of abdomen incised. As with most of the species the coppery 

 tints are irregularly distributed over the body. 



Ty])e locality.— Mexico. 



Host. — Reared from a gall. 



This species is. unrecognized by the writer. It is quite evident, 

 however, that it is closely allied to Callimome californicum (Ashmead) , 

 Type probably in the British Museum of National History.

 distinctly longer than wide and of equal width; the ocellocular line 

 about one and one-fifth times the length of the long diameter of 

 posterior ocellus; eyes red. Area between the large discoidal punc-

 not so numerous but larger than on the mesoscutum and the area 

 between them reticulated ; scutellar cross furrow deep, the area behind 

 it finely reticulately rugose and occupying one-third of the entire 

 scutellum; propodeum feebly rugose, smooth, with a row of small pits 

 on the anterior margin; coxae green, the hind one strongly cupreous 

 outwardly above; femora and tibiae moderately testaceous, the hind 

 femora distinctly bulged on the lower margin beyond the middle
