[Vol. 92 
moderately shining with coarse reticulate wrinkling over a broad 
area along notauli, on periphery of lateral lobes, and more or less 
throughout toward apex, but mesad on central and lateral lobes 
becoming duller and with many moderately large, strong, subadja- 
cent to confluent punctures and definite fine micro-reticulation. 
Mesopleuron: speculum shining with much coarse wrinkling or 
sometimes also partly smooth and shining; surface otherwise with 
coarse reticulate wrinkling. Wing venation: radial cell 4. 0-4. 4 as 
long as wide; areolet large, intercubiti moderately to somewhat 
strongly convergent above, 2nd abscissa of radius 0.7-0. 8 as long as 
1st intercubitus; 2nd recurrent weakly inclivous, almost straight; 
discocubitus at most weakly angled, with or without a stump of a 
ramellus; nervulus antefurcal; upper part of nervellus 1. 8-2.0 as 
long as lower; axillus close to hind margin of wing. Propodeum: 
short and high, with the basal face gently and convexly sloping 
rearward and the approximately equal apical face discrete and 
almost vertically declivous; spiracle 2. 3-3.0 as long as wide; basal 
trans-carina sharp throughout, strongest medially; apical trans- 
carina weak and irregular, best defined medially; cristae short ligu- 
late, large, stout, conspicuously projecting; median longitudinal 
carinae irregularly detectable, defining a more or less sharply hex- 
agonal and wider than long areola and very faintly demarking a 
median apical area; surface coarsely reticulately wrinkled, except 
with definitely finer wrinkling and some intercalated punctures 
basad of basal trans-carina. First gastric tergite: petiole moderately 
slender and with a broad, rounded-off subtriangular lateral expan- 
sion at base; postpetiole strongly widened, 1.8-2. 1 as wide apically 
as long from spiracle to apex; surface of postpetiole broadly smooth 
and shining, without dorsal carinae and with a little micro- 
shagreening (sometimes extensive shagreening) centrally and lateral- 
ly, and on apical 0.3 with many large, strong, subadjacent or a little 
sparser to adjacent or restrictedly confluent punctures, as well as 
with some widely scattered large punctures elsewhere. Second gas- 
tric tergite: smooth and shining with only faint micro-shagreening 
and with abundant large, sharp, mostly briefly subadjacent to adja- 
cent or reticulately confluent punctures that emit short, scarcely 
overlapping setae. Gaster: rather short and stout fusiform; 3rd ter- 
gite with punctures nearly as strong and dense as those on 2nd, but 
the following tergites with considerably weaker and sparser punc-
