Phzogenes pimploides n. sp. 
9. Black, head and thorax somewhat shining; the front and middle legs 
entirely, hind coxe, trochanters and femora except extreme apex of the 
last, rufous; hind tibiz, except for a white ring near the base, and tarsi 
except for a white ring at base of each of first four segments, brownish 
black; the white ring on the posterior metatarsus occupies nearly one half 
of the segment; antennal segments 10-12 inclusive white, dusky on the 
outer side; mandibles except at base and edges, the palpi, the tegule, and 
narrow apical edge of the seventh dorsal segment, dirty white. Wings 
nearly hyaline, slightly stained brownish. Length 6.5 mm. 
Temples moderately broad, margined posteriorly; vertex and front shin- 
ing, with even but sparse small punctures; antenne inserted on a protuber- 
ance which is rimmed below, the center of the rim with a small upward 
projecting tubercle; face a little more closely and coarsely punctured than 
the front, strongly convex, with a median raised portion; clypeus trans- 
verse, separated by a distinct but shallow groove, its disc almost impunc- 
tate, its apex rounded, with a slight median depression; mandible biden- 
tate, the lower tooth smaller and shorter than the upper. Antennze com- 
posed of 26 segment's, moderately slender; the first segment of the flagel- — 
lum shorter than the second; the latter more than twice as long as thick; 
the 21st segment strongly constricted on the inner side. 
Mesonotum shining, punctured similarly to the front; parapsidal grooves 
evident only anteriorly; the median lobe between these more densely punc- 
tate, matte; scutellum only moderately convex, with a carina on each side 
at its base, polished and sparsely punctate; mesopleura and sternum with 
a strong prepectal carina, shining, punctured nearly as the front and 
vertex, the mesopleura with an impunctate polished tumidous area in their 
upper posterior region. Propodeum with a horizontal dorsal portion, 
merging into a strongly declivous posterior face, the angles subdendate; 
carinze well marked, the petiolar area longer than broad, concave, the 
areola rounded anteriorly, longer than broad and emarginate behind. 
Posterior coxe with an inner subapical, papilliform tooth; the middle 
femora slightly, the front and hind femora strongly swollen. Claws sim- 
ple. Areolet pentagonal, complete; median and submedian cells (M and 
Cu+ Cu,) of forewing of equal length; the transverse-median vein of 
the hind wing only slightly broken below the middle. 
Post petiole strongly widened, the spiracles near the apex; its disc 
smooth, shining and impunctate; its extreme sides with a few grooves 
behind the spiracles; gastrocoeli distinct, transverse, moderately deeply 
impressed, distant from the base of the segment; surface of the second 
segment basad of these slightly irregularly rugose, apicad of the gastro- 
coeli matte, with small, shallow, moderately sparse punctures among which 
are numerous, minute, close-set punctulations; remainder of dorsum simi- 
larly sculptured, but the punctuation becoming obsolete toward the apex. 
Apex of abdomen acute, as in Pterocormus. ;
