Psyche 
[June 
dark, with metallic reflections. Length of fore-wing: about 7-3 to 
9.0 mm. Temples: smooth and shining with moderately large, shallow 
subadjacent punctures above, which become much sparser below; setae 
prominent, considerably longer than the interspaces of the punctures 
above; strongly, a little roundedly, receding behind eyes, about 0.40 
to 0.50 times as long as eye in dorsal view. Occipital carina: rather 
broad and flange-like above, narrower on temples, especially toward 
junction with the narrowly flange-like hypostomal carina. Meso- 
pleuron : speculum smooth and shining with a variable number of 
large, deep punctures; surface otherwise almost uniformly and rather 
finely and granularly reticulo-punctate, ridges separating punctures a 
little more broad-crested and shining above, sharper below. Meta- 
pleuron: uniformly a little more finely reticulo-punctate than 
mesopleuron. Propodeum : surface rather finely and granularly 
reticulo-punctate, often with a patch of much finer granulation 
medially just back of area-basalis, usually more shining basad of 
basal trans-carina, where punctures are more widely separated by 
polished intervals. First gastric segment: postpetiole with strong 
adjacent to subadjacent punctures laterally and subapically, a narrow 
apical band smooth and polished and the central area between the 
dorsal carinae smooth with some scattered large punctures and often 
with fine longitudinal wrinkling, especially behind. 
male: Color: much as in female; metallic sheen less strongly 
greenish, more nearly shining black; antenna blackish, scarcely paler 
toward apex. Length of fore-wing: about 7.0 to 8.6 mm. Antenna: 
first flagellomere about 2.2 to 2.6 times as long as wide apically; 
tyloides linear, on flagellomeres 9 to 17, sometimes last three absent, 
none of tyloidiferous segments excavated at base. Malar Space: 
about 1.3 to 1.5 times as long as basal width of mandible. Temples: 
about 0.50 to 0.60 times as long as eye in dorsal view; strongly 
receding, a little rounded-off. Meso- and metapleuron: punctures 
a little more widely spaced than in female, polished interspaces 
distinct throughout. Propodeum: elongate; dorsal face rather high, 
gently sloping basally and then more strongly curved to meet the 
more or less clearly discrete but not sharply differentiated apical 
face; with strong, dense punctures like those of metapleuron, but 
about basal /2 smooth and shining with only irregularly 
scattered punctures; laterally, toward apex of dorsal face, and on 
apical face with long, bushy, erect, dark setae. First gastric segment: 
postpetiole moderately and gradually expanded, sides, in dorsal view, 
gently and evenly curved or almost straight in outline from spiracle
