5 . Length 3'1 millim. Black, with an seneous tmge ; the 

 collar, postscutellum, and abdomen, except tip, ferruginous ; an- 

 tennae, except toward tips, and legs white ; mesonotum and meta- 

 notum rugose ; rest of the surface smooth. The antennae extend 

 to the metathorax, and are similar to those in Syonpiesis ; the 

 funicle 4-jointed, the first joiat long, about two thirds the length 

 of the scape, following joints about equal or two thirds the length 

 of the first. Thorax with several long black bristles, the collar 

 triangular, the mesonotum with distinct but delicate parapsidal 

 furrows, scutellum with two furrows. Wings hyaline, the mar- 

 ginal vein very long, longer than the submarginal, or about five 

 times as long as the stigmal. Abdomen conic-ovate, a little 

 longer than the head and thorax united, subpetiolated, with the 

 first, segment the longest. 



(S . Length 2'2 millim. Agrees well with the female, except 

 that the head, thorax, and basal abdomiaal segment are metallic 

 green or cupreous ; axillae and scutellum smooth, the latter some- 

 times wdth a longitudinal furrow as in Solcopelte ; while the first 

 funicle-joint is only a little longer than the second.

 gellum brown-black ; scutellum smooth, with a grooved line at 

 the sides and another at the middle ; flagellum filiform, the 

 funicle 4-jointed, the joints elongate, subequal in length ; abdo- 

 men sessile, conic-ovate, about as long as the head and thorax 

 united, the basal segment the longest, occupying a little less than 

 half the length of the abdomen, and foveated at the base by the 

 produced neck of the metathorax. Wings hyaline, pilose, with a 

 large fuscous discoidal blotch, the marginal vein fully as long as 

 the submarginal; the stigmal vein long, subclavate, and very 

 oblique, about two thirds the length of the post-marginal.
