type of Catolaccus pallipcs Ashmead has no cross-carina on 

 the propodeum. Catolaccus car 'mat us Howard is a Ncocato- 

 taccns and differs in having the pubescence less conspicuous 

 yet much denser and quite normal ; also the cross-carina of the 

 propodeum does not limit a sulcus but a plain surface and the 

 spiracular sulcus is a mere fovea in which is situate the spir- 

 acle ; also funicle I is thrice longer than wide (a 2 of carina- 

 tus in the United States National Museum and apparently a 

 paratype specimen, "St. George's, Grenada, H. H. Smith"). 

 The propodeal neck in carinatns is somewhat more distinct. 



Eulophus magnisulcatus new species. 



$ . Length, 2.00 mm. Dark metallic green, the wings hyaline, the 

 venation, tibiae, tarsi and scape pale straw yellow. Plead delicately 

 scaly, the thorax densely scaly punctate, the propodeum more densely 

 so and with a long median carina which joins the semi-circular carinat- 

 ed apex of the propodeum and a deep distinct spiracular sulcus whose 

 margins are carinated and which narrows caudad. Abdomen delicately 

 scaly distad, round-ovate (dorsal aspect), its second segment occupy- 

 ing about a fourth of the surface, the region not as long as the thorax. 

 Propodeal spiracle small, round, placed in a boomerang-shaped sulcus. 

 Marginal vein somewhat (about a third) over twice the length of the 

 stigmal, the latter distinctly shorter than the postmarginal. Axillae 

 half advanced into the parapside. Pronotum transverse quadrate. 

 Antennae inserted on a level with the ventral end of the eyes, the 

 scrobes soon uniting and running as a narrow sulcus to the cephalic 

 ocellus. Funicle I twice longer than wide, 3 quadrate, as long as the 

 pedicel which is yellowish ventrad. Club I somewhat shorter than 

 funicle 3, largest, the third joint terminating in a distinct nipple which 

 appears to be articulated. Genal suture present. Mandibles 7- and 8- 

 dentate. 



Described from one female in the collections of the United 

 States National Museum, reared from a cherry "Coleophor," 

 Jamesburg, New Jersey.

This is a valid species. It differs from nnjrifcuiora Ashmead 

 in having the cephalic tibiae black and the other tibiae more 

 or less so.
