New chalcidoid from Paraguay. 393 



curved to follow the outlines and cephalad joining those along the 

 mesoscutum ; a transverse spot across the base of each axilla, sub- 

 reniform; atid a large round spot on each dorso-lateral aspect of 

 the scutellum, which nearly joins beneath or behind the pronged apex ; 

 in the dorsal aspect of the metathorax, a small, fainter dot on each 

 side of the median line, near base and a light touch at the extreme apex, 

 at base of the abdominal petiole. In the lateral aspect, the lateral 

 line bounding- each parapside is continued ventrad, marking- all of 

 the lateral aspect of the prothorax brown ocher; an oblique line 

 across the mesopleurum from the base of the fore wing- and a spot 

 in the extreme latero-cephalic angle of the metapleurum. The two 

 spines of the apex of the scutellum black. Eyes practicallj^ naked. 



Cephalic aspect of the head, or the face, circularlj'^ striated with 

 moderately fine Striae, the bulbs of the antennae being about in 

 the center of the circle of Striae; Vertex with similar Striae placed 

 transversely, especially at the occipital margin; malar space with 

 finer Striae placed lougitudinally, but really outlying- finer circles 

 of the other Striae. Clypeus glabrous, quadrate and small, apparently 

 prolonged into an oblong- ridge which reaches dorsad up to a point 

 between the antennal bulbs and which extension is crossed by the 

 circles of the Striae. Head elliptical (cephalic aspect), not wider 

 than the greatest widtli of the thorax; eyes comparatively sniall, 

 nearly round; ocelli in the center of the Vertex, the cephalic one 

 slightly advanced, equidistant from each other, the lateral ocelli 

 three or more times their own diameter from the eye margins. 

 Vertex wide; all margins of head obtuse. 



The whole of the thorax umbilicately punctate, in the center 

 of each cavity of the puncture a minute seta; the punctures are 

 fainter laterad and ventrad, the metathorax rugose, usually trans- 

 versely and the base and median line of the scutellum is inclined 

 that way. 



Parapsidal furrows complete, distinct. Scutellum subconical, its 

 margins obtuse, slightly louger than the mesoscutum, terminating in 

 two spines or forked, each spine longer than wide, moderately stout 

 but not long and arising beneath a slight humped projection (lateral 

 aspect); a small humped elevation on each side of the median line 

 of the metanotum, their cephalic aspects brown ocher, their tops or 

 ridges seen from the side inclined to be toothed but merely roughened; 

 each hump bears greyish short hairs; no median carina on the 

 metathorax. Pubescence of body not distinct.
