THE FAMILY EUCHARIDAE — GAHAN 431 



Genus CHALCURA Kirby 



CHALCURA DEPRIVATA (Walker) 



Thirty specimens comprising both sexes and hibeled "Ex Odonto- 

 machus haematodes (Linnaeus) ; Peradeniya, Ceylon, February 1930; 

 C. P. Clausen collector, No. 2434" have been identified as this species. 



Genus KAPALA Cameron 



KAPALA TERMINALIS Ashmead 



Fifty specimens taken by C. P. Clausen at Hoyo Colorado, Cuba, 

 in July and bearing his numbers 2453 and 2451 agree nicely with a 

 paratype of this species in the National Museum collection. The 

 species was originally described from Cuba, the exact locality not 

 stated. Two specimens received from S. C. Bruner were also taken 

 in Cuba, one at Sierra Rangel, Pinar del Rio, and the other at Ma- 

 nacas, Santa Clara. One specimen received from G. N. Wolcott, 

 taken at Port au Prince, Haiti, in February 1925 seems also to belong 

 to this species. 



KAPALA FURCATA (Fabricius) 



Thirteen specimens bearing C. P. Clausen No. 2447, and taken Jan- 

 uary 2, 1931, on Barro Colorado Island, Panama Canal Zone, oviposit- 

 ing in flower buds, seem to agree with Ashmead's identification of 

 this Fabrician species. Other material in the collection indicates a 

 distribution for this species extending from Brazil through Vene- 

 zuela, Colombia, Panama, St. Vincent, Grenada, and Mexico to 

 Brownsville, Tex. 



Genus SCHIZASPIDIA Westwood 



SCHIZASPIDIA CONVERGENS (Walker), new combination 



Eucharis convergens Walker, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 3, vol. 6, p. 358, 1860. 



Seven female and fifteen male specimens labeled "ex Odontomachics 

 haematodes (L.) ; Peradeniya, Ceylon, February 1930; C. P. Clausen 

 collector. No. 2433" seem to agree very well with Walker's description 

 of Eucharis convergens and are believed to be that species. 



This species is obviously very similar to Schizaspidia furcifera 

 Westwood, the type species of Schizaspidia^ and I believe should be 

 referred to that genus. It differs from the description and figures 

 of furcifera by having the first joint of the flagellum in the female 

 nearly twice as long as the pedicel, joints 2 to 8 of the flagellum much 

 less strongly produced dorsally, the ninth or apical joint very little 

 longer than broad and with one more or less obscure constriction, the 

 antenna therefore apparently 12-jointed instead of 13-jointed. The 

 scutellum is not distinctly longitudinally striated but is shallowly
