as long as remainder of segment and about two thirds as long as 

 hind femur. In female distinctly shorter than remainder of the 

 segments and about half as long as hind femur. Wings and legs 

 normal. 



Length, 7-8 mm. 



Type (U.S.N.M. No. 44228), male, Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, Jan- 

 uary 1899 (A. Busck). Allotype, Baragua, Cuba, February 12, 1925, 

 at light, T.P.R.F., Ent. No. 346 (C. F. Stahl) ; paratype female, 

 Santiago de las Vegas, Cuba, June 21, 1917 (R. Cardin). 



My association of the sexes may be erroneous but there is no way 

 to determine if this is so. 



A male from Portland, Jamaica, may belong to this species, but 

 it lacks the abdomen and is otherwise in poor condition. The abdo- 

 men that is mounted on the card with it is that of a female of the 

 genus Psen. subgenus Minmmesa. 



PSENIA ANGULICORNIS, new species 

 Plate 2, Figueb 31 



Male and female. — Very similar in general coloration to sayi., the 

 abdomen of the male with the apices of first three tergites and bases 

 of second and third red, the second segment usually entirely and 

 sometimes all or nearly all of the third tergite in the female red. 

 The hind tarsi are entirely whitish yellow, or the apical segment 

 is slightly browmish above. 



The antennal fiagellum of the male is quite distinctive (pi. 2, 

 fig. 31) being almost angularly elevated in center of one side on seg- 

 ments 5 to 8. The propodeum has the enclosure rather finely 

 rugoso-reticulate in both sexes, and the lateral areas are finely diver- 

 gently striate above, becoming finely rugoso-reticulate at the curve. 

 Petiole in male longer than in female, as long as the swollen part 

 of the segment and about three fourths as long as hind femur, in 

 female about half as long as hind femur. Occipital carina evanescent 

 as it approaches central line of ventral surface, the intercarinal space 

 almost linear. Wings and legs normal. 



Length, 6-6.5 mm. 



Type (U.S.N.M. No. 44229), male, allotype, and two female para- 

 types. Piano, Tex., July 1907 (E. S. Tucker). Paratypes: One
