NEW PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA FROM BRITISH GUIANA. 



BY J. C. CRAWFORD, U. S. National Museum. 



(Telenomus) Prophanurus minutissimus Ashmead. 



A large series of this species was bred from the eggs of Lycophotia 

 infecta, in British Guiana, by Mr. G. E. Bodkin. When the 

 species was originally described the host was given as Dactylopin*

 this group, so far as they have been bred, are egg parasites. 



Prophanurus alecto n. sp. 



Female: Length about 0.7 mm. Black, with flattened form, the vertex 

 horizontal, posterior orbits broad, not (-urinate; antenna- reddish-testaceous, 

 the pedicel about as long as the first two joints of the funicle combined,
