250 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
the thorax, sublenticular, the antenne: inserted a little ventrad of | 
the ventral ends of the eyes, 12-jointed with two ring-joints, the 
club 4-jointed, its terminal joint cylindrico-conical (like a long nipple), 
itself terminating in a long, colourless spine, the rest of the club 
ovate and as long as the proximal three funicle joints combined ; 
scape long and slender, much longer than the club ; pedicle over twice 
longer than wide, longer than funicle 1. Second ring-joint large. 
Genal suture absent. Pronotum barely visible from above, the 
parapsidal furrows incomplete, distinct, straight, along caudal half 
or thereabouts. Scutellum from laterad with its apex projecting 
over the propodeum, the latter with a median carina and no others 
but the latero-caudal margins carinated (forming a long, curved, 
“lateral” carina ending just laterad of the spiracle and which 
branches over the caudal coxa). Scutellum beehive-shaped. Avxillee 
advanced, widely separated. Caudal tibial spur single, short and 
stout. Marginal vein about a third shorter than the submarginal, 
the latter broken only in. regularity and not very distinctly then 
(about as in Secodella, with which the genus is allied). Post- 
marginal vein distinct, a mere spur, the stigmal of moderate length, 
with a distinct neck and knob, four times the length of the post- 
marginal. Discal cilia of the fore wing of moderate density, normal, 
short, the marginal cilia short but not extremely so (as to be in- 
distinct). Tarsi 4-jointed. Abdomen cordate, smaller than the 
thorax, glabrous, segment 2 occupying about a third of the surface, 
its caudal margin straight, the other segments much shorter but the 
last (6) longest of these and with a slight scaly sculpture ; abdomen 
widest at apex of segment 2, subsessile. 
Miroinphalomyia perilampoides, n. sp. Genotype. 
Female.—Length, 1:50 mm. Black, submetallic, the head dark 
eneous, the wings hyaline, the venation brown; tarsi and base and 
apex of tibize yellowish, scape and pedicel and ring-joints reddish- 
brown. Funicle 1 longer than wide, 2 subquadrate, 3 and 4 subequal, 
a half wider than long; clubs 1 and 2 subequal to funicle 4, 3 conical 
with a wide base, 4 linear (thrice longer than wide and with little 
width). “A line of 3 to 4 sete on disc of the fore wing under the 
marginal vein and not especially near it. Thorax coarsely punctate, 
the head, postscutellum and propodeum with smaller (but as dense) 
scaly punctures. Tarsal joints not elongate. Median carina of 
propodeum dividing at apex and running along the caudal margin 
to join the latero-caudal carinated margins. A round fovea on 
propodeum at cephalic margin, more than half way to the spiracle 
from the meson. Lateral ocellus distant from the eyes. 
Described from one female from the Chiric Mountains, 
Arizona (H. G. Hubbard), and labelled ‘‘ Hubbardiella arizonensis, 
Ashmead. Catalogue No. 12733, U.S.N.M. @ type. 
T'ype.—As above, the female on a tag, a caudal leg, the 
antenne and a pair of wings on a slide.
