than it is wide at the base ; the basal bordering furrow is shallow, but 
distinct. The antennse and legs are covered with short white, close 
pubescence. Wings ciliated, the marginal vein thickened, about twice 
longer than thick, about one-third of the length of the stigmal. 
As I am not quite certain if this species is a true Copidosoma I give a 
generic description of it. The sculpture is certainly weaker than in that 
genus, in which the front and vertex are stated to be thickly and sharply 
thimble-like-punctured, while in the species I have described there are 
only a few that could be so described. The puncturation, however, 
seems to vary ; probably some specimens are more mature than others. 
Antennae placed half way between the eyes and the apex of the clypeus ; 
the scape one-third of the length of the flagellum, which is dilated 
towards the apex, the apical third forming a compressed club ; pedicle 
twice longer than wide, eyes distinctly converging above, the malar space 
about one-third of their length. Ocelli in a longish triangle ; the hinder 
separated from each other by a clearly greater distance than they are 
from the eyes. The lower part of the front face and clypeus form a 
raised longish conical continuous projection, the narrowed part above, 
the apex almost obliquely depressed, transverse, the middle keeled. 
Mesonotum nearly as wide as long, slightly longer than the scutellum, 
which is larger, a little longer than it is wide at the base, gradually 
roundly narrowed to the apex, which is rounded and one-third of the 
width of the base. Post-scutellum convex, keeled at the base and apex, 
the latter roundly narrowed. Abdomen not quite so long as the thorax, 
triangular, becoming gradually narrowed from the base to the apex, the 
base with a broad, rounded keel, the back largely depressed ; the 
ovipositor broad, as long as the longer middle spur. Marginal nervure 
thickened, about 4 times longer than thick, as long as the stigmal vein, 
which is curved and is thickened towards the apex. Apex of wings 
ciliated shortly and closely. In the ? the antennal joints are not much 
longer than wide, the flagellum is closely pilose ; the antennae are as long 
as the head and thorax united ; the 1st joint of the flagellum is not much 
longer than the 2nd ; in the S the flagellum joints are much longer 
compared with the width, are more clearly separated and are densely 
covered with long hair, almost as long as the joints, and which forms a 
fringe on the outerside, the abdomen is triangular as in the ? ; but is 
slightly shorter. The whole body is shining ; the head and thorax are 
weakly sparsely punctured.
