Type.— Cat. 8320, U. S. N. M. 



Manila. (Robert Brown.) One specimen." 



I have not collected this species; the structure of the type 

 specimen should be described. 



Ehyssalus ashmeadii sp. nov. 



Dark ferruginous, antennae concolorous, legs and tegulse paler, 

 maxillary palpi white; ovipositor guides piceous at the clavate 

 extremities, ovipositor ochraceous; extreme base of hind tibia? 

 the color of body. Wings slightly, but evenly, obscured with 

 smoky, veins and stigma darker. 



Female, length, 3 millimeters; ovipositor, 1. 



Head viewed from above with eye margins even with its 

 general outline, not at all bulging ; vertex caudad of eyes heavily, 

 transversely striate, rapidly narrowed posteriorly, length of ex- 

 posed cheek margin about equal to distance between lateral ocelli 

 and eyes; ocelli small, nearly as far from each other as from 

 eyes; ocellar area, as far as to eyes and to face, irregularly 

 rugose. Face broader than long and broader below than above, 

 medially, slightly carinately ridged just below antennae, the 

 surface finely and evenly rugose ; mouth opening very large and 

 very broad; eyes only slightly emarginate opposite antennae. 

 Head as viewed from side with upper part of face strongly 

 bulging, malar space very large, longer than length of mandible ; 

 cheeks broad below, narrowed above to half the width below ; eye 

 outline large and subcircular; maxillary palpi reaching tegulae. 



Mesonotum with lateral areae shallowly rugose, median area 

 nearly smooth; notauli fine, indistinct, not impressed, rapidly 

 converging to posterior border, where they are separated by a 

 short, smooth, median sulcus. Scutellum anteriorly with two 

 transverse foveae, backwardly curved at lateral ends and sepa- 

 rated by a sharp median carina ; disk of scutellum smooth. Meta- 

 notum with a sharp median carina on basal third which splits 

 apically, the forks extending laterally in a broad curve and then 

 cephalad to base of metanotum, where they are parallel to the 

 median carina, the areae thus inclosed being longer than broad 

 and smooth and shining ; the remainder of metanotum is scarce- 

 ly reticulate-rugose. Mesopleura coarsely, in part obliquely, 

 striate. 



Abdomen subsessile, subclavate in general form, the segments
