A REMARKABLE NEW GENUS OF ENCYRTID^ 



FROM THE WEST INDIES, BEARING TWO 



RING-JOINTS. 



By a. a. Girault, 

 Washington, D. C. 



The following Aphelinine-like genus is unique (save for Mcro- 

 myaobia Ashmead) in bearing two large, distinct ring-joints in the 

 antennas. It differs from Meromyzohia in form, the funicle is but 

 3-jointed and the club is not long and solid but also 3-jointed. 



AMEROMYZOBIA new genus. 



Female. — Shaped like ApJicliiuis but the ovipositor distinctly ex- 

 truded. In my table to the earth's encyrtine genera runs to Cocco- 

 biiis, a genus based on composite specimens (an Aphclinns and an 

 Arrhcnophagus). Head nearly round, thin, the face inflexed, the 

 frons not prominent, of moderate width, the cheeks distinct but not so 

 long as the eyes. Mandibles with three subequal, subacute teeth. 

 Antenn?e lo-jointed, with two distinct ring-joints (as in most Ptero- 

 malid?e), excluding the latter, as in Coccophagus. Fore wing broader 

 than with Aphcliuiis, the hairless line present, the marginal vein 

 nearly twice longer than wide, the stigmal somewhat over twice its
