NEBLATTICIDA new genus. 

 Female: — Head (cephalic aspect) rounded, the face inflexed, the eyes convergent 

 ee)jlialad, the frons narrowing cephalad. rather narrow, caudad where broadest, four times 

 the diameter of the cephalic ocelhis; cheeks as long as the eyes. Antenna' 1-jointed, capitate, 

 the scape greatly dilated, the funicle a little longer than the large, obliquely truncate club, the 

 six joints widening distad, all much wider than long but not annular. Mandibles with three 

 equal, short, acute teeth. Marginal vein about four times longer than wide, a little over 

 twice the length of the short stigmal, the postmarginal present but wider than long; hairless 

 line on fore wing distinct. Hind tibial spur single. Legs simple. Abdomen pointed conic-ovate, 

 as long as the thorax, depressed above. Scutellum broad, as long as the scutum, the prouotum 

 transverse. Axilla separated a short distance. Scutellum large, broadly rounded.

fiiiuih; : — Length, LI- iimi. 



Dark coppery, the thorax with contrasting silvery white pubescence which is abundant 

 but not dense, the setie not crowded. Legs black, the tarsi, cephalic knees, tips of all tibia;, 

 a narrow band around caudal legs proximad and distad of knees, the first oblique, most of 

 middle femora except a narrow, oblique stripe across some distance before the knee and a 

 rather large diffused spot dorsad somewhat proximad of middle, middle knees, a white oblique 

 stripe across middle tibise .just ventrad of knees (separated from them by an oblique black 

 band), a spot dorsad a little proximad of middle of intermediate tibia; and distal fourth of the 

 latter and funicle joint 6, silvery white. Funicle 5 suffused with whitish along one lateral half 

 and funicle 4 along lateral third or less. Frons where narrowest not quite twice the diameter 

 of the cephalic ocellus. Fore wings smoky from somewhat distad of middle of submarginal 

 vein to within a rather short distance of apex, the distal margin of the infuscation broken 

 centrally into two lobes which are farthest distad ; a narrow longitudinal clear stripe not f;\r 

 from caudal margin runs through the body of the infumation but does not completely divide it, 

 diffusing disto-caudad, proximad terminating in the oblique haii'less line caudad; oblique 

 hairless line with abimt 9 lines of cilia immediately proximad of it and a dense cluster of cilia 

 are farther proximad of these lines; a sliort, transverse hyaline line runs in front of the 

 venation. Pedicel small, a little longer than wide, longer than any of the funicle joints of 

 which 6 is largest, 1 and 2 smallest; funicle 1 twice longer than wide, (i a little more than that 

 and longer, (ilub joints wider than long. Scape with a scaly sculjiture, longer than the funicle. 

 Thorax very densely, minutely shagrecned.

CHEILONEUROIDES new genus. 

 Female: — AVith the habitus of Clieiloiieiinis. Vertex flat: frons very prominent, narrow, 

 the face inclined ventro-caudad. Cheeks somewhat longer than the eyes. Runs to Cheiloneurns 

 Westwood but the scutum also has a tuft of hairs like that of the scutellum, this tuft a little 

 cephalad of center; the scape is broadly dilated ventrad for its entire length and the post- 

 marginal and stigmal veins are longer, the stigmal as long as the marginal, a little longer 

 than the postmarginal. Hind tibial spur single. Mandibles with three subequal, obtuse, short 

 teeth. Antenna) capitate, much as in the flagellum of the Mymarid genus Polynema.

Orange yellow, the abdomen brown ; antenuio pale yellow except ventral edge of scape 

 along proximal two thirds and distal two club joints all of which are blackish. Legs brownish.
