3. OOCTONUS PROMETHEUS new species. 
Female: — Lejigth, 2.00 mm. 
Very similar (o yiyas but differing in having the femora black, in being a little smaller,, 
in lacking a median groove on distal .scufmn, in lacking the lateral cariinn on the propodeum 
and in having the distal spot on i»)re wing deeper blac'k and not quite as large, more clearly 
delimited. Otherwise (cxre]>t in senlpturo) identical Avith ffitjas with which 1 have compared it. 
Thorax finely polygonally scaly, the ]iroi)odeum subglabtoiis, Avith a distinct median channel 
Avhose margins are carinated, otherwise jdane. 8cntelluni as long as the long pro]»odeum, 
simple, the postcutellimi transverse linear. Lateral margin of ])ropod(niin earinatecl and a few 
interlacing carina? eaudo-laterad. Axillee AA’idely sei)arated. Median chaimei of propodeum
