New chalcidoid from Paraguay. 391 



tibiae and the teg-ulae brown, the tarsi white except at extreme 

 tip, the cephalic tarsi brownish; the femora black, brown at each 

 end, the coxae concolorous with the body ; trochanters browu ; extreme 

 tip of abdomen brown; venation pallid yellowish; eyes dark garnet, 

 the ocelli pale pinkish. Wings hyaline. 



Head and all of the thoracic notum umbilicately punctate with 

 fine punetures between, the metanotum, however, with a rounded 

 concaved area in its disk which is flnely punctate, the punetures 

 on the metanotum dorsal aspect coarser, dorso-lateral aspect finer 

 than those of the mesonotum; the abdominal petiole moderately 

 coarsely striate; coxae finely reticulated. Abdomen glabrous, ex- 

 cepting in the lateral aspect where there is some reticulation along^ 

 the bases of the segments. Eyes with very sparse, minute hairs. 

 Thoracic pleurum punctate and striate. Parapsidal furrows complete. 



Wings finely ciliate discally, the marginal cilia practically ab- 

 sent; marginal vein short, slightly longer than the postmarginal 

 which is very slightly longer than the stigmal. At the apex of the 

 metathorax just cephalad of the abdominal petiole, a minute spine. 



Abdomen with a short petiole, its 5th segment (lateral aspect) 

 shorter than wide. Pubescence sparse, golden yellow. 



Antennae inserted slightly below the middle of the face, the 

 scrobes not separated, forming an oblong smooth groove which extends 

 to cephalic ocellus but does not include it; bulbs barely separated. 

 Lateral ocelli distinctly not touching the eye margin. Antennae 

 10-jointed, scape, pedicel, 1 ring-joint, 5 funicle joints and a 2-jointed 

 club. Scape obclavate, with a tubercle at tip beneath, longer than 

 the firstthree funicle joints uuited; pedicel cup-shaped,not a fourth the 

 size of the first funicle Joint; ring-joint distinct; funicle 1 long, 

 narrower proximad, subequal in length to the distal club Joint; 

 joints 2, 5 subequal, gradually shortening and widening, 5 sub- 

 quadrate, 2 longer than wide, a third shorter than 1; proximal club 

 Joint shorter than funicle 5, Avider than long, the distal Joint long, 

 conical, obtuse distad. Pubescence of antennae sparse, rather long,
