propodeum irregularly sculptured and punctate, without carinae, 
lateral angles small and broadly triangular; abdominal terga narrow 
and shallowly convex, sterna flat or shallowly convex; body with 
pale markings on mandibles and legs. 
Discussion. In the Palearctic Region Adelopyga appears to be 
most closely related to Haba and Prochridium. It can be distin- 
guished from both by the edentate female foretarsomeres and den- 
tate mid and hindtarsomeres, the curled fore and midtarsi, very short 
Rs vein, straight medial vein, apically rounded stigma and narrow 
terga. The nearctic genus Minymischa is also similar to Adelopyga, 
particularly in the wing venation and coiled female fore and midtar- 
someres. However, Adelopyga differs from Minymischa in the tar- 
sal claw dentition, narrow terga, absence of a lateral pronotal carina 
and the short F-I. 
It should be noted that the type and paratype specimens were 
preserved in alcohol and then critical point dried. The convexity of 
the abdominal sternum may be due to this treatment. If the sternum 
is actually flat or somewhat concave the abdomen would be very 
thin in profile. 
Adelopyga huberi Kimsey, new species. 
Holotype female. Body length 2 mm. Face convex with de- 
pressed scapal basin and with large shallow punctures laterally 
0.1 -0.4 PD apart; scapal basin polished, smooth and impunctate; 
malar space 1 MOD long; frons and vertex with large, irregular 
shallow punctures, 0.2-2.0 PD apart; F-I 0.9X as long as broad, 
0.6X as long as pedicel, 0.9X as long as F-II; F-II and V as long as 
broad; mandible with 1 subapical tooth; pronotum shorter than 
head length in dorsal view, with shallow scattered punctures 0. 2-2.0 
PD apart, somewhat wrinkled laterally; scutal punctation same as 
pronotum, with fine transverse scratches particularly between par- 
apsides and notauli; scutellum smooth with punctures 1.0- 1.5 PD 
apart; mesopleuron with faint indication of oblique mesopleural 
carina, and about 8 large shallow punctures above scrobal sulcus, 
finely and densely scratched below scrobe; metanotum with punc- 
tures clumped along anterior half, impunctate posteriorly; propo- 
deum irregularly sculptured and punctate, appearing roughened,
