9 \ mm. long ; head and thorax ochraceous ; closely punctate, rather 

 coarsely on the head, and clothed with silvery hairs ; abdomen yellowish 

 brown, impunctate ; legs, mandibles and palpi luteous ; antennae ftiscous 

 brown, vertex of the head and valves of the ovipositor fuscous. Head 

 transverse, more than twice as wide as long, wide between the eyes, 

 which are convex ; ocelli arranged in an equilateral triangle on the ver- 

 tex, the field being elevated and smooth with a circumferential groove, 

 posterior ocelli almost vertical, ocelli to the eye nearly twice the distance 

 from ocellus to ocellus ; antennae fairly close together, further removed 

 from the eye than from each other, the sockets deep with elevated rims, 

 40-segmented, the scape and pedicel stout, the flagellum filamentous: face; 

 convex, subcarinate, wider than long, receding below, clypeal fossae 

 deep ; cheeks fairly wide, mandibles stout, curved and apically toothed. 

 Thorax robust, nearly as wide as the head and deeper than wide, meso- 

 thoracic scutum with parapsidal grooves very deep, converging and pro- 

 vided with large fossae: two slight submedian depressions anteriorly r 

 prescutellar sulcus with 4 deep fossae: scutellum triangular; metanotum 

 carinate in the middle and fossulate at the sides with an anterior and 

 posterior smooth transverse band ; propodeum irregularly areolate and 

 somewhat rugose, stigmata small and round. Mesopleurae with a deep- 

 and fossulated sulcus. Abdomen ovate, somewhat compressed apically. 

 1st and 2nd tergitcs longitudinally striate and separated by a deep 

 sulcus. 1st tergite longitudinally bicarinate, the sides also strongly mar- 

 gined ; following tergites smooth and shining with a transverse line of 

 fine silvery hairs close to the posterior border; ovipositor exserted and 

 longer than the abdomen. Legs rather slender. Wings hyaline, veins 

 fuscous, radius in anterior wing arising at about the middle of the 

 stigma, which is lanceolate, second abscissa somewhat shorter than the 

 1st transverse cubitus.
