Eucynipimorpha, n. gen. 
This genus is erected for the reception of the species described 
by Williston as Cyntpimorpha minuta. It differs from bilimeki 
in the form of the antenne. In Cynipimorpha* the antenne 
are elongate, the third joint exceeding in length that of the 
first and second combined; the second joint is produced, thumb- 
like, on the upper inner side, and the arista is slender, not 
longer than third joint, and bare. In minutia the antennz 
are short, and the third joint is transversely ellipsoidal, and 
the arista very slender and distinctly longer than the entire 
antenna. The eyes of the male of C. bilimeki are contiguous, 
while those of minuta are narrowly separated. Kertesz has 
pointed out the differences between the species and suggested 
that minuta is probably a new genus.7 
Type of genus, Cynipimorpha minuta.t 
Williston’s description of minuta is as follows: 
“‘Male—Eyes separated by the ocelli, gradually becoming wider 
below; ocelli situated upon a tubercle, otherwise the front is plane. 
First two joints of the antenne very short; third joint transversely 
ellipsoidal, finely roughened, with the very slender arista springing 
from the upper front part. Face silvery-white, not at all projecting in 
profile; the oral opening extends to the root of the antennze, which arise 
from near the middle of the head, as seen in profile. Thorax wholly 
black; mesonotum in the middle clothed with dense, short, silvery 
pubescence, somewhat variable in different reflections, the sides with a 
patch of sparse, coarser, silvery tomentum. Knob of the halteres white. 
Abdomen black, moderately shining, broader than the thorax and only 
a little longer than wide; near the tip with some sparse white pile. 
Legs light yellow; the femora, except the tip, nearly black. Wings 
hyaline, neuration as described for C. bilimeki, Brauer. Scutellum 
triangular, obtusely pointed, the basal portion with white pubescence. 
Length 21% millim.”’ 
Kertesz’s genus Lyprotemyia§ is closely allied to both 
Cyntpimorpha and Eucinypimorpha, differing from the former 
in having the antenne stout and the third joint disc-like, as 
well as in other respects. From Eucynipomorpha it is dis- 
tinguished by the elongated head, which is distinctly longer 
than high; the slender. thorax; very erect, almost vertical,
