median carina, the petiole of the abdomen much shorter, the second segment of abdomen 
longer, its caudal margin slightly convexed, the third segment much shorter than it. Propodeum 
tricarinate and with a distinct neck, the spiracle small, oval. Vertex wide. Mandibles 
3- and 4-dentate. Segment 2 of abdomen occupying a third of the surface. 
1. SPHEGIPTEROSEMELLA UNICOLOR (Girault). Female. Genotype. 
Fterosema unicolor Girault.

nearly deep enough for punctures, the clypeus longitudinally striate, the abdomen finely 
reticulated, including its short but distinct petiole. Lateral ocelli very distant from the eve 
margins. Pedicel slightly longer than the first funiele joint which is slightly wider than long 
and longest of the funiele. Marginal vein slender, moderate in length, subequal to the long
