Psyche 
[Vol. 93 
Fore wing 7.2-13.0 mm long. Wings usually dark with yellow 
transverse bands. Female flagellum somewhat widened and flat- 
tened below on apical 0.3. Male flagellum with linear tyloids on 
many intermediate segments. Mandible usually moderately broad 
with lower tooth slightly shorter than upper tooth (rarely long and 
slender with lower tooth much shorter than upper). Clypeus rather 
large, gently convex in profile; its apical margin always edentate and 
straight to weakly convex. Occipital carina sharp and narrow. 
Malar space about 1.0 as long as basal width of mandible. Prono- 
tum with epomia well defined but not extending much dorsad or 
ventrad of scrobe. Mesoscutum with notaulus faint, traceable less 
than half its length; surface mat, dully shining, or sometimes pol- 
ished and with numerous, small to medium sized, crowded to well 
separated punctures (punctures sparser in males). Mesopleuron 
without a ridge on prepectus below. Hind coxa with a sharp and 
strong subvertical groove externo-ventrally near base. Wing vena- 
tion: areolet large, symmetrically to asymmetrically pentagonal, 
intercubiti slightly to definitely convergent dorsad, front side of 
areolet (2nd abscissa of radius) 0.9 to more than 1.0 as long as 1st 
intercubitus (mesal side of areolet); discocubitus gently arched, 
without a ramellus; mediella nearly straight; axillus long, diverging 
from anal margin of wing, as close to submediella as to anal margin. 
Propodeum: spiracle elongate; apical trans-carina varying from 
strong throughout, to strong laterad but obsolete mesad, to almost 
completely absent; cristae usually defined and subcrescentic to 
bluntly triangular (cristae often obsolete in males). First gastric ter- 
gite in female with a prominent crescentic to subtriangular baso- 
lateral flange and with the postpetiole strongly expanded but in 
male without a baso-lateral expansion and with the postpetiole 
slender; ventral longitudinal carina usually sharp throughout, 
dorso-lateral and dorsal carinae less well developed, weakest in 
males. Second gastric tergite mat with very fine and dense punctures 
(sparser in males) which sometimes become more widely spaced 
mesad and with short, recumbant, mostly overlapping setae. Ovi- 
positor: long, sheathed portion 0.5- 1.4 as long as fore wing, gently 
upcurved, cylindro-compressed, its tip elongate (0.10-0.25 as high at 
nodus as long from nodus to apex), nodus low and without a notch, 
ventral valve on tip with sharp and inclivously oblique ridges.
