  Abdomen 
  roughly 
  diamond-shaped, 
  as 
  broad 
  as 
  long, 
  broader 
  than 
  

   maximum 
  width 
  of 
  thorax, 
  broadest 
  at 
  base 
  of 
  third 
  segment, 
  mod- 
  

   erately 
  thick 
  and 
  rather 
  strongly 
  arched 
  behind 
  in 
  lateral 
  profile. 
  

  

  Genotype 
  — 
  Artemitomitna 
  inirahilis, 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  The 
  relationships 
  of 
  this 
  interesting 
  genus 
  are 
  rather 
  difficult 
  to 
  

   determine. 
  In 
  Kertesz's 
  ^ 
  key 
  to 
  the 
  genera 
  of 
  Pachygasterinae 
  it 
  runs 
  

   best 
  to 
  Ageiton^ 
  paragraph 
  128, 
  but, 
  among 
  other 
  things, 
  the 
  antennal 
  

   structure 
  and 
  wing 
  venation 
  are 
  of 
  an 
  entirely 
  different 
  type. 
  Perhaps 
  

   the 
  closest 
  relationship 
  is 
  with 
  Salduba^ 
  which 
  has 
  a 
  similar 
  though 
  

   by 
  no 
  means 
  identical 
  anteimal 
  structure 
  and 
  which 
  shows 
  a 
  number 
  

   of 
  other 
  characters 
  in 
  common 
  with 
  ArtemitomAma 
  ; 
  however, 
  Salduba 
  

   may 
  readily 
  be 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  lack 
  of 
  frontal 
  prominences, 
  

   by 
  the 
  long, 
  parallel-sided 
  abdomen, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  thickened, 
  denticu- 
  

   lated 
  hind 
  femm-. 
  The 
  resemblance 
  of 
  Artemitomimu 
  to 
  the 
  genera 
  

   of 
  the 
  Artemita 
  complex, 
  though 
  striking, 
  is 
  purely 
  superficial. 
  

  

  ARTEMITOMIMA 
  MIRABILIS, 
  new 
  species 
  

  

  Female. 
  — 
  Lower 
  frontal 
  and 
  upper 
  facial 
  orbits 
  reddish 
  yellow; 
  

   head 
  otherwise 
  black 
  ; 
  vertex 
  and 
  uppermost 
  part 
  of 
  occiput 
  rugulose 
  ; 
  

   rest 
  of 
  upper 
  half 
  of 
  occiput, 
  upper 
  half 
  of 
  front, 
  and 
  frontal 
  prom- 
  

   inences 
  shining, 
  bare; 
  lower 
  half 
  of 
  occiput 
  with 
  whitish 
  pile; 
  a 
  

   transverse 
  area 
  just 
  above 
  frontal 
  prominences, 
  lower 
  frontal 
  orbits, 
  

   facial 
  orbits, 
  and 
  occipital 
  orbits 
  whitish 
  tomentose. 
  First 
  antennal 
  

   segment 
  shining 
  black, 
  with 
  black 
  hair 
  ; 
  second 
  segment 
  yellow, 
  with 
  

   black 
  hair; 
  flagellum 
  yellow 
  on 
  ventral 
  half 
  of 
  first 
  three 
  segments, 
  

   otherwise 
  blackish; 
  long 
  terminal 
  segment 
  of 
  style, 
  except 
  extreme 
  

   base, 
  white 
  ; 
  flagellum 
  and 
  style 
  with 
  short 
  white 
  to 
  whitish 
  pubescence. 
  

   Labella 
  brownish, 
  yellow 
  at 
  base. 
  

  

  Thorax 
  entirely 
  black, 
  mostly 
  rugulose 
  because 
  of 
  the 
  tomentum- 
  

   bearing 
  punctures, 
  but 
  with 
  several 
  areas 
  on 
  the 
  pleura 
  and 
  sterna 
  

   bare 
  and 
  polished 
  ; 
  the 
  most 
  noticeable 
  of 
  these 
  is 
  an 
  area 
  below 
  each 
  

   wing 
  base, 
  on 
  the 
  pteropleuron, 
  the 
  anterior 
  part 
  of 
  which 
  area 
  is 
  

   longitudinally 
  striated. 
  Tomentum 
  of 
  thorax 
  basically 
  black, 
  with 
  the 
  

   following 
  areas 
  yellowish 
  ; 
  and 
  inverted 
  Y-shaped 
  area 
  on 
  the 
  meso- 
  

   notum, 
  its 
  stem 
  running 
  from 
  anterior 
  margin 
  of 
  mesonotum 
  to 
  suture, 
  

   one 
  arm 
  extending 
  to 
  each 
  side 
  of 
  scutellum 
  ; 
  the 
  scutellum, 
  except 
  its 
  

   broad 
  lateral 
  slopes 
  ; 
  the 
  propleura 
  ; 
  a 
  band 
  covering 
  the 
  front 
  coxa 
  

   and 
  extending 
  along 
  anterior 
  margin 
  of 
  mesopleuron 
  onto 
  mesonotum 
  ; 
  

   a 
  band 
  extending 
  from 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  sternopleuron, 
  near 
  intermediate 
  

   coxa, 
  across 
  posterior 
  part 
  of 
  mesopleuron 
  and 
  onto 
  mesonotum 
  im- 
  

   mediately 
  in 
  front 
  of 
  suture 
  ; 
  and 
  a 
  band 
  taking 
  in 
  metapleuron 
  and
