[December 
Holotype. — cf , PERU : Tingo Maria, Dept. Huanuco, 620 meters, 
Oct. 5-12, 1964 (C. C. Porter) [MCZ]. 
Description of male type. — Length 4.0 mm; LFW 2.6 mm. 
Black; mandibles testaceous, except basal third black, teeth rufous; 
scape black except apical fourth, as well as all of following three 
segments, testaceous, remainder of antennae mostly fuscous; legs 
black except tarsi straw-colored, tibiae only partially infuscated; 
wings lightly tinged with yellowish brown. Mandibles with five 
sharp teeth ; clypeus obtusely angulate ; scrobes carinate ; eyes weakly 
hairy. First four antennal segments in a ratio of about 20:8:9:10, 
segment three about 1.3 X as long as thick, segment eleven 1.6 X as 
long as thick. WH 1.08 X LH; eyes converging strongly below, 
WF 1. 1 5 X HE; OOL 1.4 X WOT. Temples with a carina 
which starts at the vertex but extends only to about the middle of the 
eyes. Front alutaceous, moderately shining, obscurely punctate. 
Pronotal disc alutaceous, even over the crest of the median carina, 
which is stronger than in the female; anterior, transverse carina 
angled backward only very weakly at the midline; sides of disc sub- 
carinate anteriorly, posterior margin with a polished elevation pre- 
ceded by a row of small foveae. Mesoscutum strongly alutaceous and 
slightly depressed on the posterior half ; scutellar pits large, separated 
by a thin septum medially. Propodeal disc 1.1 X as wide as long, 
disc transversely striate between the three discal carinae; posterior 
angles dentate in front of the strongly developed foveae. 
Paratypes. — 3 cf cf , PERU: Monson Valley, Tingo Maria, Oct. 
10, Nov. 29, 1954 (E. I. Schlinger and E. S. Ross) [CAS]. 
Variation. — The three male paratypes vary slightly in size (LFW 
2. 4-2. 8 mm) but resemble the type very closely in color and standard 
measurements. In all three specimens the carina on the temples ter- 
minates near the middle of the eyes; in all three the median carina 
of the pronotum is slightly weaker than in the type, although more 
distinct than in the female allotype. 
Bakeriella inca Evans, 1964 
This species was described from a single female from Puerto Ber- 
mudez, Rio Pichis, Peru. I have recently studied 1 9 and 2 cf cf of 
this species collected by E. I. Schlinger and E. S. Ross in the Monson 
Valley, Tingo Maria, Peru, Sept.-Dee. 1954 [CAS]. The female 
is slightly larger than the type (LFW 3.3 mm) and the head is as 
wide as high, but there are no other differences worthy of note. The 
males lack a carina on the temples, have a strong median carina on
