Female: — Length, 1.35 mm. 



Dark aeneous green, the wings hyaline; the head (except occiput medially above),, 

 pronotum (except at meson), propleura, tegulae, legs (except proximal third of hind coxae) 

 and abdomen, intense lemon yellow, also apex of pedicel, the antennae otherwise dark blackish 

 green. Abdomen with three metallic green cross-stripes close together (commencing at 

 proximal fourth) and joined more or less along the meson and along each margin, the- 

 ihird stripe at meson giving off a short mesal longitudinal stripe which proceeds distad to a 

 level with two round spots on each side of the meson (at about apex of proximal three 

 fourths) ; a rather broad, dark green stripe across just before tip of abdomen. Propodeum 

 similar in sculpture to rest of thorax, short at the meson; a pair of median carinae diverging 

 at once and following the caudal margin; propodeal spiracle in an ovate impression, there 

 being no true lateral carina. Mandibles tridentate, the two outer teeth acute. Pedicel 

 longer than any of the funicle joints of which 1 is longest, somewhat longer than wide, 3- 

 distinctly wider than long, 2 somewhat wider than long; club rather stout, without a 

 conspicuous terminal nipple, practically with none at all. A line of obscure thimble punc- 

 tures along lateral margin of scutum and on the scutellnm just outside (laterad) of the 

 first groove.
