lum in the form of stout, tapering moderately long bristles with the one- 

 contiguous to the thickened part of the submarginal vein about twice 

 as long as all the rest ; those on the darkest fuscous areas beyond the 

 speculum similar along the anterior margin of the disk but becoming 

 somewhat finer on the median band and along the posterior margin, and 

 interspersed throughout in the fuscous areas with much shorter, blunt 

 and flattened bristles; cilia of the clear areas in part extremely fine 

 and transparent and partly black and somewhat coarser, these dark 

 cilia being distributed over the whole of the subapical clear spot on the 

 posterior margin, or the inner half of the corresponding spot on the 

 anterior margin, and along the inner margins, of the median pair of clear 

 spots, covering the inner third of the anterior one of this pair; bristles 

 on the submarginal vein pale colored, very slender and rather long ; 

 those on the marginal vein much shorter and stouter, being flattened 

 and spear-shaped. 



Face and cheeks with a fine delicate reticulation more evident on the 

 sloping dorsal sides of the scrobal impression; mesoscutum much more 

 distinctly and somewhat more coarsely reticulate ; mesopleura extremely 

 finely reticulate and nearly opaque ; axillae finely, closely and transversel}^ 

 lineolate ; frontovertex with crowded thimble-like punctures, considerably 

 coarser than those on the scutellum of Plagiomcrus yet very fine al- 

 though not producing an opaque efifect, and becoming obsolete anter- 

 iorly on the reflexed part of the frons ; the latter with two distinct pin- 

 punctures arranged in a transverse line at the angulation and another 

 pair just posteriorly on the dorsal part of the frons but considerably 

 obscured by being located at the edge of the thimble-punctured area ; 

 scutellum with similar and a little coarser thimble-punctures on the 

 disk but becoming smooth and polished on the sloping sides and more 

 narrowly at apex ; metanotum and propodeum rather dull but without 

 evident sculpture; abdomen mostly smooth and polished but lieconiing 

 finely reticulate on the last tergite except at the sides. 



Pubescence throughout very sparse and inconspicuous ; the eyes 

 bare, the other parts of the head nearly bare except for the narrow, semi- 

 circular orbital line of silvery white, recumbent hairs bounding the 

 dorsal limits' of the face; mesoscutum with sparse, fine, bristle-like and 

 blackish hairs seriately arranged; scutellum with about six bristle-like 

 hairs towards the base, somewhat longer than those. on the mesoscutum, 

 and with apparently no bristles at all at apex ; apex of abdomen and 

 protruded part of ovipositor with short, delicate, pale-colored pubescence. 



Length: 1.07; length of head: 0.307: width of head: 0.356; width 

 of vertex at the posterior ocelli; 0.106; width of mesoscutum: 0.362; 

 length of fore-wing: 0.912; width of fore-wing: 0.372; length of pro- 

 truded part of ovipositor: 0.134 mm. 



Head and notum of thorax metallic green, the sloping sides of the 

 scrobal impression with a purplish luster, the reflexed part of the 

 frons bluish green ; meso.scutum with more brilliant brassy and golden 

 reflections, the underparts of the thorax black and but slightly shiny;
