This genus cdiiK's mar Zulcika Distant if tliat Kcnn^^ possesses the 

 spur of the Delpliacini ; apart from the spur it approaches Malaxa Me- 

 licliar. 



N. flara sp. nov. 



2 Pale yellow-orange, eyes light hrown, ocelli black, a longitudinal 

 brown mark down antennae not quite reaching the base of each joint. 

 Tegmina hj'aline, milky white with waxy secretion, veins basad of cross- 

 veins concolorous, cross-veins and veins apical of cross-veins brown. 



Styles broad at base, gradually narrowing to apex, reaching to apex 

 of pygophor and covering the greater portion thereof. 



Lengtii 2.4 mm. ; tegmen 3.6 mm. 



Iliib. Mayag'iiez, Porto Rico, July, 1914. Described from 

 two females, one in bad condition, in the American Mus. iSat.

Genus DELnrACODES Fieb. 

 D. erccius nigripennis (Crawf(H"d)*. 

 Mcgamolus erectiis nigripennis Crawford, 1914. Proc. U. 

 S. ^at. j\rns., Vol. 4G, p. 625. 



One male specimen from Point a Pitre, Gnadahipe, W. I. 

 This inse<'t is very close to the brachypterons form of D. mnfn- 

 nitii (Kirk.) from Fiji and Papna. They are hard to distin- 

 guish except for the aedeagi, which are quite distinct (tigs. 

 2, 3). D. erect us is most likely the macropterous form of /;/- 

 gripennis and is paralleled by the light, macropterons form of 

 D. matanUu. 



D. mardininae sp. nov. 



$ Macropterous. Lateral pronotal carinae divergingly curved, not 

 reaching hind margin ; vertex square, carinae distinct ; face slightly nar- 

 rowed between eyes, sides subparallel, median carina simple ; antennae 

 reaching slightly beyond base of clypeus, second joint 1.5 l^ies the length 

 of first; hind tarsi shorter than hind tibiae, first joint longer than other 

 two together, spur slightly shorter than first joint, laminate, subtectiform, 

 with minute teeth on hind margin. 



Head and thorax ochraceous-buiT, abdomen ochraceous orange, carinae 

 of head and thorax lighter, face and clypeus between carinae slightly 

 fuscous, apical portion of each antennal segment, apex of rostrum and 

 apices of tarsi brown. Tegmina and wings hyaline, veins fine, yellowish, 

 fuscous at apices, granules very small. 



Pygophor figured (figs. 4, 4a). 



Length 2 mm. ; tegmen 3 mm. 



* I propose the new name psciidoiiigripciuiis for D. iiii^ripciniis Aluir.
