[Vol. 92 
slender, with a weak swelling near basal 0.3. Pronotum: dorsal mar- 
gin weakly swollen; submarginal groove narrow and obsolete; epo- 
mia sharp and strong in scrobe, prolonged briefly below, unmodified 
above. Mesoscutum: notauli narrow, shallow but conspicuous, 
extending about 0.7 the length of mesoscutum; surface at most dully 
shining, finely but strongly reticulo-rugose to reticulo-punctate on 
central lobe and on an extensive area behind end of notauli, more 
coarsely and transversely wrinkled immediately along notauli, 
sometimes on lateral lobes a little more shining in comparison to 
rest of mesoscutum and with fine but sharp puncto-reticulation that 
includes many almost discrete punctures. Mesopleuron: speculum 
slightly differentiated, more shining than rest of surface, with uni- 
form and comparatively coarse punctation; surface otherwise with 
uniform finely reticulate wrinkling. Wing venation: radial cell 
3. 3-3. 5 as long as wide; areolet large; intercubiti strongly convergent 
above; 2nd abscissa of radius 0.5 as long as 1st intercubitus; 2nd 
recurrent straight or a little reclivous below, definitely outcurved 
above; discocubitus broadly angled, with a long ramellus; mediella 
gently arched; nervellus broken well below middle, upper part 3.5 as 
long as lower. Propodeum: short and high, faces subequal, basal 
sloping, apical discrete and nearly vertical; spiracle 2.0 as long as 
wide; area basalis weakly defined; basal trans-carina strong and 
sharp throughout, much raised medially; apical trans-carina fine 
and sharp, sometimes weakened laterad, medially thrust far for- 
ward; cristae of moderate size, briefly ligulate, projecting; median 
longitudinal carina delimiting a broadly hexagonal areola; lateral 
longitudinal carina scarcely suggested; surface dully shining, basad 
of basal trans-carina puncto-reticulate, rugose between trans- 
carinae, a little more finely reticulate on apical face. First gastric 
tergite: 1. 1-1.3 as wide apically as long from spiracle to apex; 
ventro-lateral carina fine and sharp throughout; dorso-lateral carina 
very sharp on postpetiole but gradually weakening basad on petiole; 
dorsal carinae prominent but blunt and enclosing a low median 
elevation toward apex of petiole and on base of postpetiole; surface 
of postpetiole dully shining except more polished on apical 0.3 and 
with delicate micro-reticulation that fades out near apex. Second 
gastric tergite: dully shining with uniform delicate microreticulation 
and a few minute, obscure punctures emitting short, widely scat- 
tered setae. Ovipositor: sheathed portion 0.6 as long as fore wing;
