Zaommoencyrtus submicans Gen, et sp. nov. (Encyrtini) 



Female: In my table of the earth's genera runs to Zaomencyrtus 

 Girault but differs in having the scape foliaceously dilated, the 

 funicle joints annular; the stigmal vein is subequal to the marginal 

 which is twice longer than wide, twice the length of the postmar- 

 ginal. Hind tibial spur short, single, distinct. The middle tooth 

 of the mandible is distinctly longest, the first shortest, a minute 

 tooth, distinctly shorter than the others; third tooth half the length 

 of the middle one. Head quadrate (cephalic aspect). Frons 

 very broad. Eyes round-oval, about as long as the cheeks. Ver- 

 tex rather thin. Face in death circularly depressed, the frons 

 depressed. Axillae separated distinctly for some little distance, 

 the suture separating from the scutellum delicate. Form slender, 

 rather flattened, not elongate. Head somewhat as in Spalangia 

 but shorter. 



Female: Length, 1.00 mm. Shining purplish black, the wings 

 lightly dusky from about the bend of the submarginal vein, the 

 duskiness accented under the head of that vein and under the 

 marginal vein; tibiae, except just below the knees and the tarsi yel- 

 low. Venation fuscous, the stigmal vein paler. Body very 

 delicately scaly, shining like the surface of tar. Second joint of 

 club obliquely truncate, longest, the club enlarged and barely 

 shorter than the funicle. Pedicel stout, slightly longer than wide; 

 funicle joints enlarging distad, 6 over thrice the size of 1 or 2 or 3 

 which are annular and subequal. Pedicel over a third the length 

 of the body of the scape. Hind wings with about fourteen rows of 

 discal cilia. Fore wing with a white streak caudad from the proxi- 

 mal margin of the discal ciliation, parallel with the caudal margin.
