292 The Philippine Jownal of Science isis 



a subapical band of slenderer setae and subbasal and apical, 

 heavy circumfila, the loops of the former moderately short, those 

 of the latter produced and extending almost to apex of segment. 

 Terminal segment slightly reduced, with a length over twice its 

 diameter and a knoblike apex. Palpi triarticulate, first segment 

 subglobose, second broadly quadrate, third produced, tapering, 

 with a length about four times its diameter. Eyes large, black. 

 Mesonotum dark reddish brown, submedian lines fuscous yellow- 

 ish. Scutellum and postscutellum reddish yellow. Abdomen 

 dark reddish brown. Ovipositor fuscous. Wings hyaline. 

 Costa dark brown, subcosta uniting therewith at basal third, 

 third vein nearly straight and joining margin well beyond apex; 

 fifth vein simple, subobsolete distad, uniting with posterior mar- 

 gin at distal third, its branch at basal half. Halteres yellowish 

 basad, fuscous apicad. Coxae dark brown; femora, tibise, and 

 basal tarsal segments mostly dark brown; three distal tarsal 

 segments yellowish red. Posterior legs a little darker than an- 

 terior and midlegs. Claws moderately stout, strongly curved, 

 unidentate ; pulvilli a little shorter than claws. Ovipositor when 

 produced about one-third the length of abdomen; basal portion 

 long, stout, somewhat chitinized, tapering; terminal lobes 

 slender, with a length about five times the width and apicad 

 with a few long setae.

Male. — Length, 1.5 millimeters. Antennae probably a little 

 longer than the body, bronzy yellow, thickly haired; ? 14 seg- 

 ments, third and fourth free, fifth with stems each two and one- 

 half times its diameter. Basal enlargement subglobose, with 

 a subbasal whorl of long stout setae and a subapical circumfilum, 

 loops of latter extending almost to the subcylindric distal enlarge- 

 ment, which has a length about one-fourth greater than its dia- 

 meter, a subbasal circumfilum, with loops reaching nearly to 

 tip of the enlargement, a subapical whorl of long stout setae 

 and an apical circumfilum, the loops of the latter extending 

 almost to apex of segment. Terminal segment wanting. First 

 segment of palpi irregular, subquadrate; second with a length 

 nearly three times its diameter ; third a little longer, moderately 

 stout; fourth narrowly oval and a little shorter than third.
