[March 
few rather long setae ; apex of abdomen very strongly bristly. Clypeus 
2.6 X as wide as high, its apical margin weakly concave; front of 
moderate width, middle interocular distance .54 X width of head; 
upper interocular distance .83 X lower interocular, 1.1 X length 
of third antennal segment; ocello-ocular line slightly exceeding post- 
ocellar line. Postnotum very narrow and depressed at the midline; 
propodeum smooth, rather long, abruptly sloping on the posterior 
third. 
Description of male type. — Length 10.5 mm; fore wing 10 mm. 
Body and appendages yellow except as follows: front with a broad 
central black band from antennal sockets to vertex, then extended 
backward to the occiput and laterally to the eye tops (but center of 
ocellar triangle with a small yellow spot) ; pronotum with a dark 
median streak and a pair of black chevrons on the anterior slope; 
mesoscutum black except for a. broad median band on the posterior 
three-fourths, emarginate in front; scutellum black at extreme an- 
terior and posterior margins; postnotum black medially; propodeum 
with paired black lines; pleura black along sutures and over much 
of venter of mesothorax; first abdominal segment black at extreme 
base, narrowly ferruginous apically ; second tergite mostly ferruginous, 
with a narrow yellow band subapically followed by a narrow fuscous 
margin; tergites three and four fuscous, with a narrow transverse 
yellow band ; remaining tergites fuscous, stained with ferruginous 
apically and with less distinct transverse yellow bands; sternites 
yellowish, with fuscous staining apically; antennae ferruginous be- 
yond segment two, all segments infuscated above; middle and hind 
trochanters, sides of hind coxae, and outer part of hind femora tinged 
with ferruginous, hind tarsi and tips of tibiae somewhat infuscated; 
wings hyaline, lightly tinged with yellowish brown. Labrum well 
exserted, somewhat trapezoidal; clypeus 1.7 X as wide as high. 
Middle interocular distance .55 X width of head; upper interocular 
distance subequal to lower, .88 X middle interocular distance; 
ocello-ocular and postocellar lines subequal, the ocelli not notably 
enlarged, the posterior ocelli removed the nearest eye margin by twice 
their own diameter. First four antennal segments in a ratio of about 
3:1:313, third segment about half the upper interocular distance. 
Postnotum slightly shorter than metanotum ; propodeum, in profile, 
sloping very weakly. Abdomen very slender basally; subgenital plate 
with a median basal elevation, apically rather flat; genitalia with 
slender parameres each bearing a series of five stout pegs at the squama 
and three pegs farther distad, the aedoeagus of distinctive form (Fig.
