at the posterior third, not prominent; third and following segments 

 with moderately prominent hairs; claspers with parallel sides, evenly 

 rounded at tips. Tooth on hind coxse small, but very acute. Wings 

 with a large areolet; submedian cell slightly longer than the median. 



Type from near Kingston, Jamaica, British West Indies. 



This species resembles E. montagucnse Ckll. from Guate- 

 mala, but differs in the form of the claspers. It agrees quite 

 well in color with Cresson's description of E. vitticollc (Proc. 

 Ent. Soc. Philadelphia, 1865, p. 53), but Cresson refers to the 

 areolet as minute in vitticolle, while it is larger than usual in 

 the present form. 



Eiphosoma haitiense sp. nov. (Fig. 3). 



$ . Length (extended) n mm. Head, thorax and anterior legs 

 lemon-yellow, marked with black; abdomen and hind legs fulvous, 

 varied with black. Antennae 42-jointed, black except underside of 

 scape and pedicel. Black body markings as follows : stripe above an- 

 tennae, half as wide as the front, including anterior ocellus; trans- 

 verse spot enclosing posterior ocelli, narrowly separated from the 

 frontal stripe; two almost contiguous spots on vertex, well separated 

 from the ocellar spot; three stripes on mesonotum, the lateral ones 

 narrowed behind; anterior margin of propodeum, suddenly enlarged 

 laterally and almost contiguous with a lateral stripe extending back 

 from the spiracle; median depression of propodeum: swollen part of 

 petiole, a long stripe on mesopleura enlarged above, upper margin of 

 second segment except tip, upper margin of third on anterior half and 

 sheaths of ovipositor. Base and apex of hind femora above and hind 

 tibiae except for lighter middle part, fuscous; hind tarsi piceous. Wings 

 strongly infuscated at apex. 



Eyes barely convergent below; sides of front rather closely punc- 

 tate; face sparsely so, especially toward the middle; malar space 

 slightly shorter than the width of mandibles at base. Ocelli in a low 

 triangle, the lateral ones much closer to one another than to the eye- 

 margin from which they are removed by a little less than their own 

 diameter. 



Median lobe of mesonotum closely punctate anteriorly, lateral lobes 

 shining, impunctate except for a very few punctures near the middle. 

 Propodeum highly polished, the median depression broad but only 

 moderately deep; anterior transverse carina at the basal third, angularly 

 bent forward near the middle and extending to the front margin to 

 form the sides of a small area that is closed behind by a short trans- 

 verse carina; posterior transverse carina complete, sinuous; lateral 

 carina below the spiracle complete; pro- and mesopleune highly polish- 

 ed, the latter with a few widely scattered punctures below. Apex of 

 propodeum extending to the basal fourth of the hind coxa.
