Female: — Length, 2.10 mm. Robust, abdomen stout, rounded. 
Wholly shining black, the wings hyaline but with a slight brownish stain, rounded, just 
■under the bend of the submarginal vein. Tarsi paler. Funicle 1 subquadrate, longest, 5 and 6 
widest, all after 1 wider than long; club wider than the funiele which widens distad. Mandibles 
bidentate. Pedicel longer than any of the funicle joints. Stigmal and postmarginal veins 
subequal, each someW'hat shorter than the marginal. Hind tibial spurs double. Marginal fringes 
of fore wing inconspicuous but present. Scutum with scattered thimble punctures. Venation 
distad of submarginal vein pale. Differs from Neoperilamxms nifjer Girault and Dodd, besides 
the generic character, in bearing the imnctures on the scutum, in ha\’ing the postmarginal vein 
shorter, the tibiae concolorous, the obscure si)Ot on the fore wung, the first funicle joint shorter, 
also the pedicel and in having the colorless distal part of the venation. 
In N eoperilovipns niger, wdth wdiich I liave compared this species (types), funicle 1 is 
longer than the pedicel, the ring-joints normal, not very transverse. 
Sometimes the cheeks and fore femora are reddish brown; nearly always, the meson 
of face ventrad of the antennae. Sides of pronotum more or less orange, also sides of scutum.
