the hairless line). Marginal vein black, the stigmal pale, the former over 

 thrice longer than wide, about twice the length of the stigmal. Funicle 

 joints much wider than long, one and two subannular. Pedicel subcompressed, 

 short. Frons moderate, narrower than in the other species, prominent, the 

 head rounded, the face much inflexed. Mandibles tridentate but the third 

 tooth is but shallowly separated from the second and is truncate. In the 

 fore wing there is also a small round dot just at apex (but not at the margin). 



Described from four females reared from Chrysoinphahis aonidum 

 and Alcurocanthus zvoglami^ Kingston, Jamaica, L. F, Ashby, Jan- 

 uary 20, 19 1 4. 



Types. — Catalogue No. 19405, U. S. N. M., four females on tags 

 plus a slide bearing a fore wing and head (also antennae of Homalo- 

 poda cristata Howard). Three of the females are paratypes. 



In this genus and Homalopoda there are two slender black clumps 

 of hairs from the apex of the scutellum and another from the upper 

 occiput near each eye. 



PARALEUROCERUS n 



ew genus. 



Female. — In my table of the earth's encyrtine genera runs to 

 Lciiroccroidcs Girault but differs in the following particulars. The 

 antennae are inserted nearer the mouth border, the club is wider than 

 the funicle, the scape is rather greatly dilated ventrad and the post- 

 marginal and stigmal veins are subequal, each somewhat longer than 

 the marginal which is slightly longer than wide. Agrees otherwise 

 with the original description of that genus. 



I. Paraleurocerus bicoloripes new species. Genotype. 



Female. — Length, 0.80 mm. 



Dark metallic green, the axillae, scutellum and the body distad black 

 green, the wings hyaline, the venation pale yellow ; knees, tips of tibiae and the 

 tarsi white, the middle tibiae white along distal two thirds (thus with a broad, 

 concolorous band some distance below the knee) ; caudal knees nearly all 

 concolorous ; all of middle tarsus white. Bulla and apex of scape rather 

 broadly, white, also one side of funicles one to three, most of funicle six and 

 both sides of four and five. Pedicel longer than any of the funicle joints, 

 all the latter subquadrate but six over twice the size of one, the joints 

 enlarging in succession ; club truncate at apex, slightly over half the length 

 of the funicle; pedicel slightly longer than wide at apex. Third tooth of 

 mandibles broader and slightly longer than the others. Caudal wings with 

 about fifteen lines of discal cilia where broadest ; hairless line of fore wing 

 with about three complete lines of cilia proximad of it, followed by numerous
