Figure 3 



Syntomaspis umhilicata Gahan, Ann. Ent. Soc. Amer., vol. 12, 1919, pp. 163-4. 



With the exception of a few minor changes the original description 

 is as follows: 



Female. — Length 2.5 mm.; ovipositor about as long as body. Head 

 viewed from front above as long as broad ; face strongly sculptured 

 with large shallow punctures; antennal depressions deep and nearly 

 smooth within, the antennae separated at the base by a carinate ridge; 

 post ocellar line equal to twice the ocellocular line, the lateral ocelli 

 not farther from the eye margin than the diameter of an ocellus; 

 antennal pedicel conical, about equal in length to the first funicle joint: 

 ring-joint a little more than twice as broad as long; first funicle joint 

 nearly quadrate, following joints diminishing very gradually in length, 

 the last about two-thirds as long as broad; club three-jointed, not 

 broader than the funicle and about as long as the three preceding 

 funicle joints; pronotum rugulose; mesoscutum with large, closely 

 placed umbilicate punctures surface of the scutellum before the dis- 

 tinct cross-furrow sculptured like the mesoscutum, behind the cross- 

 furrow finely reticulately sculptured; propodeum polished, with carinae 

 and with a row of large punctures along the anterior margin ; ciliation 

 of the forewina; similar to that described for Callimome {Syntomaspis) 

 medicaginis (Gahan), but not so distinctly arranged in rows, the row 

 running from the stigmal vein to apex of wings present, but very poorly 

 defined and the wedge shaped hairless area behind the marginal vein 

 somewhat more restricted, there being three or four coarse cilia basad 

 of the stigmal vein in the apex of the wedge; marginal vein four-fifths 

 as long as submarginal; hind coxae about twice as long as thick with 

 the dorso posterior angle weakly carinately margined; abdomen about 

 as long as the thorax; first, second, and third tergites emarginate 

 medially, dorsally mostly polished; the second and third at sides, and 

 the fourth entirely, distinctly reticulate; color of head and thorax 

 above dull coppery green; propodeum polished metallic green; pleu- 

 rae, coxae and all femora metallic greenish-black or bluish in some 

 lights; first three tergites above steel-blue sides of the abdomen and 

 dorsum beyond the third tergite brassy green; antennal pedicel and 

 flagellum brownish-black, more or less metallic; scape, all tibiae, and 

 tarsi reddish testaceous; ovipositor sheaths black; wings hyaline; 

 venation pale yellowish. 



Male. — Length 2 mm. Antennal pedicel a little shorter 'than the 

 first funicle joint; first funicle joint slightly broader than long and 

 not longer than the second; joints beyond the second very slightly 

 diminishing in length; propodeum faintly rugulose with a very weak
