Psyche 
[September-December 
Mandible: 2.5 as long as wide at middle, lower tooth strong but 
distinctly shorter than upper tooth. Temple: in dorsal view flat 
and abruptly receding, in profile at its upper 0.3 about 0.21 as 
long as eye. Occipital carina: gently curved, fading out below a 
short distance before joining hypostomal carina. Malar space: 
0.40 as long as basal width of mandible. Pronotum: upper mar- 
gin weakly swollen; epomia only weakly suggested. Notaulus: 
fine and sharp, reaching 0.4 the length of mesoscutum. Meso- 
pleural fovea: in the form of an isolated shallow pit located well 
in front of mesopleural suture and not connected to it by a hori- 
zontal groove. Sternaulus: very weak and shallow, faintly, tracea- 
ble for about half the distance to middle coxa. Postpectal carina: 
defined only for a short distance laterad, its median section ab- 
sent. Metanotum: its hind margin without a projection on each 
side of postscutellum, the part below the hind margin long, gently 
sloping, and not wrinkled. Propodeum: elongate, gently and even- 
ly arched in profile and without a sharply discrete apical face; 
spiracle short-oval, 2.0 as long as wide; basal trans-carina sharp 
throughout and practically straight; no apical trans-carina or 
cristae; entire surface behind basal trans-carina covered with 
dense, regular transverse wrinkles which are finer basad and 
coarser apicad. Hind coxa: its base shallow with a short hori- 
zontal groove next to attachment. Front tibia: in female mode- 
rately swollen and with some unusually strong, sparse spine-like 
setae in addition to the normal dense vestiture of fine setae. Front 
tarsus: in female with fourth segment deeply bilobed at apex. 
Wing venation: areolet moderately large, rectangular and nearly 
parallel-sided, about 0.6 as high as section of second recurrent 
vein above bulla, about 1.7 as wide as high, receiving second re- 
current vein well before middle; second intercubitus weak and 
medially effaced; ramellus absent; postnervulus intercepted at 
its upper 0.25; nervulus 0.3 its length antefurcal; nervellus inter- 
cepted at its upper 0.4; apical half of mediella strongly arched; 
brachiella absent; axillus close to hind margin of wing and con- 
verging to hind margin apically. First gastric segment: elongate 
and almost parallel-sided; its spiracle situated definitely in front 
of the middle at about basal 0.39 of tergite; without a lateral tooth 
at base; without longitudinal carinae, except for basal vestiges 
of the dorso-lateral carinae; postpetiole 0.58 as wide apically as 
long from spiracle to apex; apex of first sternite far distad of spira-
