Discussion. This genus does not appear to be closely related to 
any of the other Amiseginae. Kryptosega lacks most of the derived 
characteristics found in other genera, except that it has no hind- 
coxal carina and no indication of a lateral propodeal angle. Further 
study is necessary to determine the relationships of Kryptosega. 
Kryptosega anomala Kimsey, new species 
(Figs. 10, 11, 13, 19) 
Holotype male. Body length 3 mm. Face (figs. 10, 13); scapal 
basin flattened and impunctate; frons with punctures 0.5- 1.0 PD 
apart; malar space 4.4 MOD; head about as long as wide; midocel- 
lus 3.6 MOD from ocular margin; ocelli arranged in broad triangle; 
hindocellus separated from ocular margin by 0.3 diameter; clypeus 
long and rounded apically; subantennal distance 1.8 MOD; F-I 
length 4.3X breadth; F-II 3.6X as long as broad; pronotal, scutal 
and scutellar punctures 0.2-0. 5 PD apart; pronotum and scutum 
subequal in length; scutum with notauli absent anteriorly; meso- 
pleuron with broad irregularly margined depression extending from 
near pronotal lobe to scrobe, punctures 0.2- 1.0 PD apart; metano- 
tum 0.8X as long as scutellum, medial enclosure with large nearly 
contiguous punctures; propodeal dorsal surface with irregular longi- 
tudinal carinae, posterior surface with extensive transverse carinae; 
terga with sparse small punctures 2-3 PD apart. Head and thorax 
black without metallic tints; abdomen black, except reddish brown 
basally; scape and pedicel brown; flagellum black; coxae whitish, 
legs otherwise pale brown becoming darker on tarsi; mandibles yel- 
lowish becoming red apically. 
Holotype male - NEW GUINEA: Mt. Kainde, 13 February- 12 
March 1979, 2300 m, J. Sedlacek (Gainesville). Paratypes: 5 males, 
same data as type except also collected 18 January- 14 February 
1979 and 19 December 1978-8 January 1979. 
Discussion. K. anomala can be distinguished from kaindeana 
by the coarser punctation, longer malar space and subantennal dis- 
tance, and nonmetallic color. 
Kryptosega kaindeana Kimsey, new species
