CALLIMOME MELANOCERAE Ashmead Figure 34
Most closely related to Callimomemelanocerae (Ashmead), but differs greatly in the type of sculpture of the thorax and is smaller. Head as broad as the thorax; seen from the front bronze brown; facial carina poorly developed; sheep attached below the middle of the front, yellow, cylindrical, the flagellum dark brown, the base shiny and blackish;. Described from nine females reared from galls collected by H. Morrison and recorded under Bureau of Entomology No. The type female and six paratypes are in the collection of the United States National Museum.
