Length 1.13 mm., breadth .6 mm., antenna .38 mm. 
Described from five specimens found on grass roots. 
Winged Viviparous Female (Plate VIII., Fig. 6).—Elongate, 
smooth, with sparse inconspicuous hairs, dirty whitish, varied 
with fuscous and dark brownish/ dotted with white at origin 
of hairs. Head above and mesothorax above and below dark 
brownish, edges of meso- and meta-thoracic plates with blackish 
outlines. Remaining surface markings fuscous brown, sutures 
whitish. 
Antennae fuscous brown, apex darker, base of third joint paler, 
basal two joints one half thicker than the others; IV a little 
more than twice as long as thick, V a little longer, VI nearly 
half longer than IV, the spur three eighths of its length; III 
about equal to V aud VI combined; I and II combined about 
equal to VI. Sensoria distinct, one at tip (beneath) of joints III, 
IV, and V, and at base of spur on VI, last two quite large, that 
on VI accompanied by the usual group of smaller sensoria. 
Often one at middle also of III, and sometimes a third near by 
it. Eyes brownish black, ocelli distinct. A pale notch on hinder 
margin of head just within each eye. 
Prothorax with a dusky band anteriorly, behind this a pair 
of large transverse spots, sometimes a small pair behind these. 
Mesothorax with pale spots at sides. Metathorax with a nar¬ 
row transverse mark of dusky brown. Wings with a granu¬ 
lated surface, veins and stigma light brownish, stigma half as 
wide as long on costal margin; cubital obsolete two thirds of 
distance from base to the fork; stigmal vein but feebly curved. 
Running parallel to the the posterior margin of the postcostal 
vein and stigma, and separated from them by a narrow paler 
interval, is a distinct £&nd narrow thickening and darkening of 
the wing. 
Abdominal segments with a row of marginal blotches, one on 
each segment. The double row of small spots in the sutures is 
present, but confused with the discal markings. First and sec¬ 
ond abdominal segments each with a short transverse discal 
band; bands of next three segments more or less confluent, 
forming a fuscous brown patch; sixth segment with a long discal 
band; those on seventh and eighth extending to margin. Corni¬ 
cles distinctly indicated by a fine dark ring in the marginal 
patch of the sixth segment. Cauda short, not projecting, it and 
anal plate fuscous brown, hairy. 
Beak as in viviparous female, attaining hind coxse. Prothorax 
mostly pale beneath; mesothorax pale only around the coxae; meta- 
thorax with blackish transverse line, ends of latter partly surround¬ 
ing coxse. Legs darker fuscous brown, first tarsal joint promi¬ 
nent. In the suture back of the prothorax is an elongate spir¬ 
acle in a small transverse dusky brownish spot; just below the 
margin of the prothorax is a large oval excretory pore. The 
abdomen beneath is pale, first and second segments, and some¬ 
times the sixth, each with a short discal transverse line. Seventh 
with usual oblong dark plate, which is hairy like the anal plate.
