MYINID.E. — EUPELMID^. 79 



Encyrtus areolatus. Fcem. — Viridi-niger, crassus ; antennas 

 nigrae, subclavatae, thorace longiores, articulo lo luteo, clava sub- 

 lauceolata ; thorax fortiter punctatus ; abdomen cupreo-nigrurn ; pedes 

 nigri, tibiis basi tarsisque luteis ; ala3 diapbanae, testaceo venosae, 

 cubito piceo. 



Female. Greenish black, very stout. Head hardly broader than 

 the thorax. Antennae black, subclavate, rather slender, longer than 

 the thorax ; first joint luteous : club sublanceolate, more than twice 

 the length of the preceding joint, which it hardly exceeds in breadth. 

 Thorax largely punctured. Abdomen cupreous-black, smooth, shining, 

 depressed above, nearly triangular, a little shorter than the thorax 

 which it equals in breadth at its base. Legs black ; tibiae towards 

 the tips and tarsi luteous. Wings pellucid ; veins testaceous ; cubitus 

 piceous, curved, longer than the radius. Length of the body f line. 



The thorax is more finely punctured than that of E. clavicornis. 

 Bothryothorax may be reunited to Encyrtus, the characters on which 

 it is founded being too slight for those of a separate genus.

Fam. 7. MYINIDiE. 



A. Fore wings with some hairless lines. 



a. Three last joints of the antennae very unlike in 



size. -.-.- Myina. 



b. Three last joints of the antennae equal in 



size. -.--. Mesidea. 



B. Fore wings equally hairy. - - - Coccophagus. 



Prof. Foerster, whose Synopsis of the Myinidae is here translated, 

 does not there mention any example of his genus Mesidia ; the other 

 two genera were previously published, and Myina is a synonym of 

 Aphelinus. 



Fam 8. EUPELMIDiE. 



The European genera of this family and of the Cleonymidae are 

 distinguished by Prof. Foerster as follows : 



A. Hind tibiae and hind tarsi contracted, broad. - Halidea. 



B. Hind tibiae and hind tarsi not contracted, nor 



broad. 

 a. Front ridged near the insertion of the 



antennae. 

 * Middle tibiae much elongated. 



f Antennae inserted near the border of the mouth. Stenocera. 



ft Antennae not inserted near the border of the 



mOUth. ----- POLYMOHIA.
