of abdomen to apex of proximal third from distad, dusky black. Abdomen yellowish brown. 
Legs reddish. Caudal half of each parajjside and of scutum and all of scutellum except a 
narrow* conical reddish marking along meson from base to apical third, contrasting lemon 
yellow\ Head lemon yellow, reddish at center of vertex, jet black along the scrobes and on 
occiput except ventrad. Pitnielc 1 longest, somewhat longer than wide, the others oval; pedicel 
shorter than funicle 1. Wings a little stained. Otherwise about as in malandaensis, Antennse

A. EUPLECTROMORPHA MAGNIVENTRIS CHINDERAENSIS new variety. 
Female: — Length, 2.75 mm. 
Black, the head stibmetallic, the wings hyaline, scape and abdomen whitish, abdomen 
dorsad black at distal fourth and at immediate base, the intervening white portion margined 
narrowly latcrad with the black, but the marginal stripe besides being thin (except distad 
W'here it abrujitly widens) is distinctly interrupted at apex of proximal fourth. Wings 
hyaline. Similar to typical form but the marginal stripe of abdomen is thinner and the legs 
are yellowish brown (except hind coxa) instead of white. The abdomen also appears to be 
flatter and longer. Compared Avith type of typical form.
