130 THE CA.NADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



This species is very much smaller than Epimeces subiclatus Nees, 

 which it closely resembles. The genus Ectadius Foerster seems, without 

 doubt, to be identical with this genus, as I have indicated. 



LIX, Sactogaster, Foerster. 



93 (i). Sactogaste?- anomalivejitris, n. sp. 



Female. Length, .03 to .05 inch. Black, polished. Antennse and 

 legs black ; tarsi reddish. The joints of the four-jointed antennal club 

 are broader than long. Mesoscutum smooth, without grooves. Scutellum 

 armed with a small acute spine. The second abdominal segment is in- 

 flated below, having the appearance of a small globe ; the other segments 

 are narrow, cylhidrical, and project beyond it in the form of a tail. Wings 

 hyaline. 



Hab. — Florida. 



LX. Synopeas, Foerster. 



94 (i). Synopeas melanocera, n, sp. 



Female. Length, .10 inch. Black, polished. Face, just above in- 

 sertion of antennae, grooved, and thence to ocelli finely punctate. An- 

 tennae filiform, black, the terminal joint longer than the preceding. Meso- 

 thorax with two grooves. Scutellum with a small spine near tip. Legs 

 dark red. Abdomen as long as head and thorax combined. Wings 

 hyaline. 



Hab. — Florida. 



LXL Anopedias, Foerster. 



95 (i). Anopedias incertus, n. sp. 



Female. Length, .06 inch. Somewhat robust, black. Antennae and 

 legs rufous, thighs obfuscated. Antennal club 4-jointed, brown-black. 

 Thorax without grooves. Scutellum flattened, with a spine at tip. Meso- 

 pleurae highly polished ; metapleurae and metathorax densely pubescent. 

 Wings hyaline. 



Hab. — Florida. 



The structural characters of this species seem to agree with the defini- 

 tion of this genus, but I have doubts as to its belonging here. 



LXn. Isocybus, Foerster. 



96 (i). Isocyhus lojigivcntris, n. sp. 



Female. Length, .04 inch. Black, highly i)olishcd. Head large, 

 cubical. Antenuie and legs pale yellowish-brown. Thorax rather short,
