252 SUPPLEMENT. 



A single female specimen from Teapa probably belongs to this species, although 

 the front and middle tibiae are largely black ; the basal joints of the antennae are 

 yellowish. 



CYNIPIMOEPHA. 



Cynipimorpha, Brauer, Denkschr. der k. Akad. der Wissenschaften in Wien, xliv. 2, p. 75 (1882). 



l. Cynipimorpha minuta, sp. n. (Tab. IV. figg. 19, 19 «, s .) 



c? . Eyes separated by the ocelli, gradually becoming wider below ; ocelli situated upon a tubercle, otherwise 

 the front is plane. First two joints of the antennae very short ; third joint transversely ellipsoidal, finely 

 roughened, with the very slender arista springing from the upper front part. Pace silvery-white, not at 

 all projecting in profile ; the oral opening extends to the root of the antennae, which arise from near the 

 middle of the head, as seen in profile. Thorax wholly black ; mesonotum in the middle clothed with 

 dense, short, silvery pubescence, somewhat variable in different reflections, the sides with a patch of 

 sparse, coarser, silvery tomentum. Knob of the halteres white. Abdomen black, moderately shining, 

 broader than the thorax and only a little longer than wide ; near the tip with some sparse white pile. 

 Legs light yellow ; the femora, except the tip, nearly black. Wings hyaline ; neuration as described 

 for G. bilimeJci, Brauer. Scutellum triangular, obtusely pointed, the basal portion with white pubescence. 

 Length 2| millim. 



Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 



One specimen. This insect differs distinctly from the type of the genus, C. bilimeJci, 

 in having the eyes of the male separated by the narrow front. Another species, closely 

 allied to this, measuring nearly 4 millim. in length, from Santarem (Amazons), in my 

 collection, has the antennas wholly yellow, the fine bristle springing from the tip ; 

 the front broader, on the lower part with a smooth, triangular, black spot bounded 

 by silvery-white on the sides ; the pubescence of the mesonotum slightly yellowish, 

 sparser, and forming indistinct stripes ; the tip of the scutellum attenuated into a short, 

 thick, obtuse process, the white pubescence arranged in spots ; the femora yellow 

 or only slightly brownish.
