A NEW SPECIES OF PARAPHELINUS. 



55 



tarsi faintly darker, all claws brown ; sterno-pleural sutures narrowly darkly outlined, 

 a pale median dorsal line from behind the head to above the ovipositor ; pronotum 

 and propodeon each with two or more or less defined triangular darker spots about 

 the mid line. The tergites (except medianly) are faintly infuscated, so that the 

 abdomen is indistinctly banded ; on the 7th tergite (bearing the setigerous process) 

 the band is darker, narrow, and distinct. Sternites a little infuscated ; ovipositor 

 reddish brown. 



$. Head from in front (7:6); frons narrowest (f of the width) at two-thirds above 

 the clypeal edge. Toruli well below the base-line of the eyes, three-fourths their own 

 length from the mouth-opening and nearly twice (11 : 6) their length apart. Pattern

on vertex and frons (except just between the scapal grooves, where the surface is 

 nearly smooth or finely mamillated) large, raised on vertex and upper frons, but 

 very faint on the face ; clypeus smooth. Along each lower orbit are 5-6 bristles and 

 about the same number (strong) superiorly ; nearly a dozen smaller bristles between 

 the orbital row and the mid line, on the upper angles of the frons ; 5-6 minute bristles 

 inside the genal keel and 9-10 pairs of bristles between and above the toruli ; the 

 two clypeal bristles are well abova the edge. 



Antenna (fig. 2, a) : length, -42 mm. ; bulla (2:1) five-eighteenths of the scape. 

 The latter narrow (5:1), with 6 bristles along the ventral edge, 6-8 on the outer
