Psyche 
[June-September 
second and third flagellar segments. Scape and flagellum fairly 
densely covered with short erect hairs; segments 2-12 of flagellum 
also very densely endowed with fine appressed pilosity. 
Trunk uniquely shaped and proportioned, as if the propodeum 
has grown forward, compressing the mesoscutum and pronotum, 
and rotating the neck and head to a more ventral position (fig. 5). 
Pronotum very constricted mesad. Mesonotum very short (meso- 
scutal L/WL 20-23%);* seen from the side evenly and rather 
strongly convex, from above nearly equilaterally triangular; with 2 
short black lines that indicate underlying apophyses of the notauli. 
Middle of scutellum and metanoturn raised into a prominent 
subcircular bulge. Propodeum elongate (propodeal L/WL 49-52%),* 
dorsal face curving insensibly into declivous face; unarmed. Petiole 
long, cylindrical, nodeless. Legs long and slender (hind femur 
L/ WL 83-86%); front coxae long, compressed front to back (fig. 5). 
Wings evenly covered with fine hairs. Venation of fore wing 
variable. Of 154 wings (77 individuals) from 7 collections, the most 
common venation had a small closed discoidal cell with subequal 
sides, a hexagonal cubital cell with a narrow opening to the costal 
cell and sinuate lower edge (Rs), radial cell open distad, and veins 
Rs and M unjoined by a cross vein beyond the discoidal cell (121 
wings). In 1 1 wings the discoidal cell was open distad, but otherwise 
the same. In 20 wings the discoidal cell was closed, but a cross vein 
(r-m) connected the Rs and M veins, creating a second cubital cell. 
That cross vein joined the Rs well proximad of the end of the first 
cubital cell, except in one wing where it was almost even with the 
end of the cell. Two wings had both open discoidal cells and the r-m 
cross vein. Wings of different venation commonly appear on the 
same individual. 
Hypopygium in ventral view subtriangular; apex broadly rounded, 
proximal corners square with slender truncate lateral projections, 
middle of base with a long slender truncate anterior process. 
Gonostyli (=parameres) of genital capsule tapered in side view, but 
with apices broadly rounded; setae occur only around apices. 
Digitus long, slender, blunt, strongly down-curved; not reaching to 
apex of gonostylus. Cuspis short, pollicate when seen from the side. 
'Mesoscutal and propodeal lengths measured from lateral view by taking their 
maximum length along lines parallel with Weber’s length.
