hyaline, highly irideseent, tinged with violet, the stigma and uerviires 

 testaceous. Head smooth and shining, the face and clype;is thickly co- 

 vered with white pubescence, the face with a smooth line down the cen- 

 tre; a stout keel on the front, and it and the vertex bare. Thorax smooth 

 and shining; the parapsidal furrows indistinct. Mesopleurae with a deep, 

 wide, oblique furrow, rounded and narrowed at the base and apex on the 

 lower part. Median segment thickly covered with long pale hair. Abdo- 

 men smooth and shining, bluntly pointed at the apex. Ovipositor distinct- 

 ly projecting. Antennae much longer than the body, 23-jointed. Stigma 

 stout, lanceolate; the radius issues from the apex of the basal fourth of 

 the stigma; it reaches to the apex of the wing and is slightly curved up- 

 wards; it is clearly longer than the basal two united; the second trans- 

 verse cubital nervure is faint; the second cubital cellule at the apex is 

 not half the length of the base; the recurrent nervure is received shortly 

 beyond the transverse cubital; the transverse median nervure is almost 

 interstitial; the transverse basal nervure is curved and dilated at the apex. 

 The male has the base of the antennae more broadly testaceous; the 

 face is suffused with fuscous, which is also the case with the median 

 segment, and it appears to be finely punctured; the basal half of the 

 abdomen is testaceous. The ovipositor is as long as the basal two joints 

 of the hind tarsi united. Length 1 mm. Chinandega, Nicaragua.

1441 Macroteleia rufipes sp. no v. 



Black, the antennal scape, the under side of the narrowed basal part 

 of the flagellum and the legs, red; the apex of the hinder femora broadly 

 infuscated; wings hyaline, the nervures black. Female. Length 3.5 mm. 

 San Marcos, Nicaragua. 



The pedicel of the antennae and the first funicular joint each as long 

 as the following two joints united, the club joints clearly broader than 

 long. Front and vertex minutely punctured. Thorax alutaceous; the pa- 

 rapsidal furrows deep, complete, a transverse impression between them 

 at the apex. There is a row of foveae at the apex of the scutellum. Basal 

 segments of abdomen closely, minutely punctured. Pleurae closely mi- 

 nutely punctured, except the depression on the apex of the mesopleurae 

 which is large, deep, smooth and shining. Abdomen three times as long 

 as the thorax, the basal segment not keeled in the middle. Wings hyaline, 

 the nervures back, the stigmal branch with a small knob at the apex; 

 it is about one third shorter than the marginal; the hair fringe around 

 the apex is short, but distinct; the wings reach to the middle of the pe- 

 nultimate segment and are highly irideseent. Tegulae black. 



Macroteleia testaceinerva sp. nov. 



Black, the antennae to the club, and legs rufows. Wings almost 

 hyaline, the nervures testaceous. Female. Length 4-5 mm. Panama
