Habrylliaf new genus* 



Genotype: Hahryllia cosmeta, new species. Present designation. 



Hahryllia resembles Brachycyrtus Kriechbaumer in its short, high, 

 globose thorax, its more or less club-shaped abdomen, its somewhat 

 apically thickened antennae, its apically emarginate upper mandibular 

 tooth, and its concave clypeus. It differs especially in the characters 

 given in the key and in the position of the prepectal carina, which 

 slopes obhqucly back until it attains the position of the postpectal 

 carina and probably fuses with it at least in part. With so few speci- 

 mens, dissection was not considered. In BracMjcyrtus the prepectal 

 carina is in normal position for the subfamily, and the postpectal 

 carina absent laterally. Hahryllia also differs in having longer, more 

 slender antennae with the number of segments of the fiagellum varying 

 from 29 to 33 (24 to 27 in Brachycyrtus) and with the first flagellar 

 segment about six or seven times as long as wide (three to four times as 

 long as wide in Brachycyrtus); and in having the head differently 

 shaped, the temples being longer and sloping inward from the lower 

 margin of the eye (temples shorter and not sloping in Brachycyrtus) 

 (see fig. l,a,h). 



Material on hand shows this to be a Neotropical genus. 



Key to the species of Hahryllia, new genus 



1. Face as long as, or longer than, broad; malar space reduced so that only a line 



separates margin of eye from base of mandible; apical pleural areas of propo- 



deum lacking 2 



Face broader than long; malar space distinct; apical pleural areas of propodeum 

 present 3 



2. Propodeum, except lateral pleural areas, granular or shagreened; nervulus 



postfurcal by about m times its length. 



oculatus (Cushman), now combination 

 Propodeum polished with a very few large, shallow, scattered punctures; 

 nervulus postfurcal b}' more than twice its length.

3. Antennae each with pale annulus; lateral carinae of propodeum incomplete, 



not extending to costulae. . . . convergens (Cushman), new combination 



Antennae without pale annulus; lateral carinae of propodeum extending to 



costulae ccsmcta, new species

In the Townes collection is a specimen belonging to the genus 

 Habryllia which I consider to be this species. I can find no structural 



' Meutiing tlic small, dainty one; derived from Greek habros (delicate, dainty, or pretty) and -yllion, a 

 diminutive siifTix.
