Fig. 27); first sternum of the female abdomen flat, polished and completely glabrous, with some longitudinal rows of setigerous punctures along the extreme sides but none of them passing across the middle of sternal disc, which is rather shining (Fig. 66); first tergum of the abdomen without an anterior tubercle (cf. Fig 60); wings black with bluish reflection; abdominal terga of both sexes usually maculated with red or yellow integumental spots. Tribe Discoliini trib. n. - Nearctic and Neotropical Regions.

Fig. 28); first sternum of the female abdomen armed with a strong transverse ridge, paralleled by transverse rows of large setigerous punctures, some of the rows always complete across the middle of the sternal disc (Fig. 67), or nearly so, if uncertain, then first tergum equipped with a tubercle, or the wings hyaline, or the abdomen without yellow or red maculation 61 61 Frontal ridges of the female head flat, widened below, flush extreme lower front and supraclypeal triangle; male flagellum strongly clavate (cf. Fig. 45); the lateral carina of the propodeum meet metapleural-propodeal suture at the junction of the episternal crest (cf.
