and the anterior end of the valve. A fold of tissue connects 
these two valves along their medial borders. On each valve 
is inserted a ramus which is a prolongation of the first 
valvifer, the basal plate or lobe which supports the valves 
of the ovipositor.

The first valvifer is rectangular, with a lobed pos- 
terior medial margin. The dorsal surface of the first valves 
bears two parallel ridges; between these is a groove into 
which fits a ridge on the ventral surface of the correspond- 
ing second valve. 
The second valves are above or dorsal to the first 
valves. They are united with each other at their proximal 
ends by a common base. Valve two is elongate and sharply 
pointed distally and each valve is connected to the cor-
