seutellum. Pleurae subshining, finely rugulose ; metanotum sculp-

median carina, a transverse carina at the upper edge of the posterior 
slope, and a reflexed margin at its lower edg-e. Abdomen slender, 
shagreened at the base, smooth and shining' posteriorly. First segment 
twice as wide as long, its tip less than twice as wide as its base ; 
spiracles strongly protuberant, placed very near the base. Second 
segment quadrate, following- growing shorter, the apical ones whitish 
at the sutures. Ovipositor slightly longer than the abdomen, pale, its 
sheaths black. Legs brownish-yellow ; the hind coxae blackish at the 
extreme base ; hind femora and tibiae dark at tips and their tarsi 
dusky. Wings hyaline, veins except the costal very pale. Marginal 
cell narrow, pointed, reaching only three-fifths the distance from the 
stigma to the wing tip ; first and second sections of the radius almost 
perpendicular to each other. Submedian cell barely longer than the 
median ; recurrent nervure and transverse cubitus interstitial. Dis- 
coidal and subdiscoidal nervures uniting in a curAe. Stigma very
