breadth; F-II length 2X breadth; postocellar area finely transversely 
striate, with scattered punctures 1-3 PD apart; pronotum, scutum 
and scutellum covered with fine transverse striae and small shallow 
punctures 1-3 PD apart; scutum with notauli present posteriorly 
and absent anteriorly; mesopleuron smooth with moderate punc- 
tures along anterior half, 0.2- 1.0 PD apart; propodeal enclosures 
smooth and impunctate; T-I with transverse band of small punc- 
tures along posterior margin; T-II with small punctures clumped 
anteromedially; T-III-IV with tiny punctures along posterior mar- 
gin. Face with green highlights; vertex coppery; thorax with bluish 
green highlights; abdomen dark brown without metallic highlights; 
antenna dark brown, except F-I yellow; legs including coxae yellow. 
Male. Same as female, except body color greener; antenna 
entirely dark brown; coxae, femora and most of tibiae dark brown;

Holotype female — TRINIDAD, W. I., Curepe, Santa Margarita, 
1-14 January 1974, E. D. Bennett (OTTAWA). Paratypes: 59 
females and 302 males, same data as type except dates between 
January and December 1974 and 3 March 1961 (2 males), and 1 
male: Piarco, 27 February 1961. 
Discussion. A. bennetti and flavicrus are very similar and can be 
most readily separated by the color of the female antenna and legs. 
Otherwise bennetti can be distinguished by the evenly rounded 
pronotum, notauli indicated by a fine line; and the mesopleural 
punctation.
