face and the pronotum appears slightly depressed sublaterally. 
Males of flavicrus closely resemble those of bennetti but can be 
distinguished by the shape of the pronotum and the densely cross- 
striate face. 
Amisega flavipes Kimsey, new species 
Holotype female. Body length 3 mm. Scapal basin with dense 
transverse striae; vertex punctures touching to 2 PD apart; postocel- 
lar area without transverse striae except at posterior margin; malar 
space 1.5 MOD; F-I length 4X breadth; F-II length 2.3X breadth; 
pronotum coarsely transversely striate; scutum without notauli or 
transverse striae, scutellum without transverse striae; mesopleuron 
less than half punctate, posterior part smooth and impunctate; 
propodeal enclosures smooth; T-I with narrow transverse band of 
small punctures; T-II with anteromedial punctate area; T-III-IV 
with few minute punctures. Head and thorax, including propodeum 
blue; antenna dark brown, except scape paler beneath; legs includ- 
ing coxae yellow; terga blackish; wing membrane faintly brown- 
stained. 
Male. Same as female except darker; scape entirely dark; legs 
dark brown, except fore and midtibiae and basal tarsomeres yellow- 
ish; T-II with purple tints. 
Holotype female — BRAZIL: Bahia, Encruzilhada, November 
1975, M. Alvarenga (GAINESVILLE). Paratypes — 4 males and 8 
females, same data as type, except some also collected by Seabra 
and Oliveira. 
Discussion. A. flavipes is one of the 3 South American species 
with yellow legs and dark antenna in the female. It can be distin- 
guished from perviridis and semiflava by the entirely yellow legs, 
black T-II, and the dorsum of the head without striation. Males can 
be recognized by the long malar space, purple T-II, dark legs and 
striate scapal basin. 
Amisega perviridis Kimsey, new species 
(Fig. 6) 
Holotype female. Body length 4 mm. Face appearing granular, 
with fine contiguous punctures; scapal basin with small triangular 
zone of fine cross-ridging; malar space 1.2 MOD; eye in lateral view
