EUPELMUS. 119 



16 (1) . Mesonotum flat, not elevated. 



17 (18) . Wings with two fasciae in the middle petiolaris. 



18 (17). Wings with only one curved fascia in the middle. 



19 (20) . Upperside of the base of the abdomen white ; sheath of the ovi- 



positor black dngulatus. 



20 (19) . Upperside of the base of the abdomen black ; sheath of the ovi- 



positor testaceous fasciiventris. 



5. Eupelmus testaceicornis. 



Niger, viridi et cupreo tinctus ; antennis (apice excepto), geniculis, tibiis tarsisque antieis et terebra testaceis ; 



alis fumatis, basi et apice hyalinis. 

 Long. 5 millim. 



Eab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 



Antennae as long as the thorax and abdomen together ; scape thin, becoming a little 

 thicker towards the apex ; flagellum becoming gradually thickened towards the apex, 

 last joint compressed laterally. Head closely punctured, metallic, covered with a close 

 white pile ; antennae placed below the level of the eyes ; antennal grooves deep, the 

 triangular space which they enclose is depressed in the centre. Thorax obscurely 

 punctured, covered with a white depressed pubescence, except on the mesopleura, 

 which is almost glabrous, and less shining than the rest. The mesothorax rises into a 

 sharp elevation, with a steep slope on the scutellar side. Abdomen narrow at the base, 

 broad and rounded at the apex ; base smooth, shining ; apex opaque, pilose, and pitted 

 with round shallow punctures ; the second segment has a slight incision in the centre 

 above ; it is longer than the third, which is double the length of the fourth. Ovipositor 

 shortly projecting, the sheath thick, three fourths of the length of the last segment. 

 The thorax has more green tints than the abdomen, which is almost entirely black. 

 Legs longish, densely pilose. 



The slightly incised second abdominal segment would place this species in Lutnes ; 

 but I cannot detect any trace of pilosity on the eyes. 



6. Eupelmus geuiculatus. 



Niger ; antennarum flagello medio, scapo apice terebraque testaceis ; pedibus posterioribus basi geniculisque 



albis ; alis antieis fumatis, albo maculatis. 

 Long. 4 millim. 



Hab. Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion). 



The head, thorax, and apical half of the abdomen are alutaceous, and covered with 

 a white pubescence, that on the head short and close, on the thorax longer and more 

 scattered, on the abdomen still longer and thinner, especially at the apex. The meso- 

 pleurae above in front finely punctured, and with a coppery tint ; below, close to the 

 breast, smooth and shining. Mesonotum margined throughout, the centre hollow, 

 slightly carinated in the centre. The tibiae and tarsi are covered with a close pubes-
