3l6 CHAkLES T. BRUES 



slightly on the posterior tibiae; tarsal claws simple. Wings with a transverse 

 fuscous cloud extending from the middle to near the tip; apical half of anterior 

 margin of fore wing ciliate, the hairs longer basally, and very minute at tip; 

 vein extending to the basal third; both stigmata pale brown. 



Type from Juan FernandezS collected in Masatierra, by K. BackstrOm;

This species is most easily distinguished by the non-carinate and elongate 

 propodeum with gently declivous posterior face. These characters serve also 

 to separate it from C. ineridionalis Brethes, known from South America, where 

 Brethes obtained it as a parasite of the cosmopolitan Silvamis surinamensis 

 living in stored grain.
