long, sharply defined cienulae. Sides of pronotum irregularly rugose- 

 striate, with a central groove not well differentiated from the striae. 

 Mesepisternum with round punctures having clear outlines, of sparse 

 third-degree density ; almost devoid of secondary punctures on outer 

 upper disk; posterior border with a premarginal groove. Scutellum 

 with impunctate apex not as wide as the lowest primary punctures. 

 Metanotum sparsely punctate, the punctures not nearly as large as 

 the largest of the scutellum. Tibiae and tarsi partially reddish. 

 Tegula twice as long as wide, very thin, semitransparent, and reddish 

 at the margin. Wings hyaline; radial cell somewhat exceeding the 

 second cubital cell. Propodeum with its areola strongly convergent, 

 the bordering carinae strongest at its apex, the median carina usually 

 confined to the upper half, the inclosed area strongly reticulate ; pos- 

 terior aspect without definite medial carina. First tergite with a well- 

 defined preapical band which is narrow at the center and widely 

 expanded at the sides, the punctures not extensively coalesced. First 

 sternite mostly polished, impunctate, with lateral grooves on posterior 

 half and vestigial median keel anteriorly. Intermediate tergites with 

 the punctures very small, deep, and round; the impunctate margins 

 at most five times the width of largest adjacent primary punctures; 

 extreme apices of tergites 3 to 6 with a vestigial row of minute non- 

 setigerous punctures over the dorsum. Denticle with its elevated 

 edge nearly parallel to the longitudinal plane. Length, 5 to 5.5 mm.

The association of sexes in this species was made from collecting 

 data, males and females having been collected together at Kuliang, 

 China. This association is substantiated by the peculiar, very long 

 tegulae which occur in both sexes. Two females and one male from
