A New Parasitic Crematogaster 
59 
Hairs on the scapes and legs slightly longer and less ap- 
pressed than in lineolata. 
Head, thorax, pedicel, coxae and femora and more or 
less of the venter of the first gastric segment bright yel- 
lowish red, more vivid than in the female of the var. clara 
Mayr of the subsp. laeviuscula. Gaster scutellum, meta- 
notum and three large elongate spots on the metanotum, 
one anteromedian, the others parapsidal, jet black; mandi- 
bles, antennae, tibiae, knees and tarsi darker and more 
brownish red ; bases and sometimes the whole of the scapes, 
the tips of the funicular clubs, the ventral portions of the 
mesosterna, the inner border of each ocellus and the pos- 
terior corners of the head, more or less blackened or 
infuscated. Wings whitish hyaline, the pterostigma and 
anterior veins of the forewings very faintly yellowish, the 
remaining veins colorless. 
Male— -Length 4 mm. 
Very similar to the male of lineolata but somewhat more 
slender; gaster, especially, much narrower and more elon- 
gate. Mandibles more linear and narrower, furnished with 
three more distinctly equal denticles. Funicular joints ap- 
parently a little more cylindrical and less monillate. Pro- 
notum distinctly less convex anteriorly and less over- 
arching the pronotum. Epinotum more rounded with less 
distinct base and declivity and no indications of teeth, ex- 
cept in one of the six specimens. 
Somewhat smoother and more shining than the male of 
lineolata and more like that of laeviuscula. Mesonotum very 
finely and rather indistinctly striated and sparsely punc- 
tate. 
Hairs whitish, almost lacking on the head, thorax and 
gaster, where they are present, though sparse, in lineolata; 
gaster and legs merely with short, sparse, appressed pubes- 
cence; antennse and genital appendages with short, erect 
or suberect, very dense white pubescence. 
Jet black; mandibles, gaster, antennse, legs and alar inser- 
tions dark brown. Wings whitish hyaline with the ptero- 
stigma and anterior veins of forewings even more feebly
