Abstract

1. Mirzagrammosoma new genus of the Elachertini.Female: With the habitus of Zagrammosoma Ashmead but the scutellmn without grooves, the vertex more elevated, elevated nearly for the length of the eyes which thus appear to be in the middle of the side of the head, the checks a little longer than the eyes. Antenme inserted about in the middle of the face, the scape compressed (about three times longer than wide at apex), also the funicle and club, as in the named genus but there are two short ring-joints. Mandibles 6- dentate. Submarginal vein distinctly broken in regularity, distinctly longer than the marginal, the postmarginal two-thirds its length. Club not very distinctly jointed. Hind tibial spur distinct, not large. Parapsidal furrows rather long, meeting the small axillre which are nearly entirely cephalad of the scutellum. Pronotum conical, as long as the scutellum which is about two-thirds the length of the scutum. Propodeum a little shorter than the scutellum, with a delicate rnedian carina and no others, the spiracle very minute. Abdomen sessile, as long as the thorax, conical. Cephalic coxre elongate. Elachertine in appearance.
