[Vol. 93 
brownish white on dorsal margin; palpi light dusky brown; meso- 
scutum ferruginous with black on mesoscutum, tegula, and on most 
of scutellum; gaster ferruginous with weak dusky staining on last 
tergite; wings hyaline with a broad transverse median band occupy- 
ing upper hind corner of median cell, basal 0.5 of discocubital cell, 
2nd discoidal cell basad of ramellus, 1st brachial cell, base of 2nd 
brachial cell, and (more faintly) apex of anal cell as well as with a 
light brownish blotch that covers apical 0.3 of radial cell plus most 
of 3rd cubital cell, 3rd discoidal cell, and (more faintly) part of 
apical 0.2 of 2nd brachial cell; coxae ferruginous with blackish stain- 
ing apicad or sometimes more extensively; trochantelli black with 
ferruginous staining, especially below; front femur black above and 
dull ferruginous below; mid femur black with dull ferruginous 
throughout, or at least in part, dorso-anteriorly; hind femur black 
with dull ferruginous staining basad, especially above; fore tibia 
dusky ferruginous; mid and hind tibiae black; tarsi black. 
Length of fore wing: 7. 8-9. 3 mm. First flagellomere: 8.0 as long 
as deep at apex. Clypeus: with a pair of weak median preapical 
tubercles but only slightly convex on apical margin beneath tuber- 
cles; lateral margin broad and reflexed. Malar space: 0.94-1.0 as 
long as basal width of mandible. Mesopleuron: in large part with 
delicate and irregular wrinkling. Wing venation: radial cell 3. 2-3. 6 
as long as wide; 2nd abscissa of radius 1.0 as long as 1st intercubitus; 
ramellus inserted at basal 0.4 of discocubitus; bulla of 1st abscissa of 
cubitus 0. 2-0.3 as long as entire vein; 2nd recurrent 0.7-0.8 as long 
as 1st abscissa of cubitus; brachiella reaches 0.4-0. 6 the distance to 
wing margin. Propodeum: rather short and high; basal face steeply 
declivous, 0.9 as long as the almost vertical apical face; cristae large, 
stout, conspicuously projecting, broadly ligulate, about 0.3 as long 
as apical face of propodeum; surface on basal face distad of basal 
trans-carina with at least some strong and oblique wrinkles laterad 
but mesad more or less extensively more finely sculptured and on 
apical face strongly trans-rugose laterad but mesad often less 
strongly wrinkled or mostly smooth and shining. First gastric ter- 
gite: postpetiole short and weakly expanded apicad, 1.4- 1.7 as wide 
apically as long from spiracle to apex; ventro-lateral carina tracea- 
ble throughout, sharp apicad on petiole and on postpetiole; dorso- 
lateral carina sharp on postpetiole but gradually becoming weaker 
basad on petiole; dorsal carinae traceable (not sharp) toward apex
