Head smooth and shining. Middle lobe of mesonotum transversely 

 striated, the striae on the apical half being stronger and more wideiy 

 separated than those on the basal. Scutellum longitudinally striafceil, 

 ■widely and strongly in the centre, more closely and finely on the sides. 

 Metanotum on the centre with two keels which unite beyond the middle, 

 on either side are some keels which converge towards it, and there are 

 a few longitudinal ones on the sides. Pleurae smooth, the base of the 

 mesopleurae indistinctly longitudinally striated; on the lower pjirt of 

 the base of the mesopleurae is a deep vertical fovea followed by a 

 shallow furrow; on either side of this is a fine curved keel, running to 

 its apex. Thoracic spines stout, curved, stoutly keeled, the central kef.l 

 being the stouter. The apex of the abdomen is broadly testaceous. The 

 front of the thorax, seen from the front, is broadly rounded; abdominal 

 petiole not much longer than the hind coxae. There is a row of foveae 

 in the centre of the mesopleurae above. The third and fourth antennal 

 joints are distinctly longer than the fifth, the third clearly narrowed 

 at the base. 



Allied to L. furcata and L. iridicolor. The former may by known 

 from it by the mesonotum being more distinctly depressed below the 

 pronotum and scutellum and by the latter being clearly bordered on the 

 apex, the latter by the testaceous abdomen, and by the shorter and 

 thicker third and fourth antennal joints. 



1435 Eudecatoma fulva sp. nov. 



Fulvous, the legs and pleurae paler, more yellowish in tint; the 

 wings hyaline, the nervures dark testaceous, the stigmal spot longer 

 than wide and rounded behind. Female. Length 2 mm. Managua, Nica- 

 ragua. 



Smooth and shining, the flagellum of antennae fuscous. Eyes brown. 

 Antennae short and thick, the pedicle clearly separated, narrowed at 

 the base, twice longer than thick at the apex. The parapsidal furrows 

 narrow. The body is much smoother, almost impunctate as compared 

 with Decatoma. 



1437 Eurytoma erythroaspis sp. nov. 



Black, the antennal scape below, face, clypeus, oral region, orbits 

 broadly, narrowly above, and mandibles, except at the apex, yellowish 

 tinged with rufous, propleurae, the apical two-thirds of the mesonotum 

 Ijroadly in the middle and the scutellum except on the apical slope, ru- 

 fous. Legs pallid yellow. Wings clear hyaline, the nervures pallid tes- 

 taceous. Male. Length 3 mm. Chinandega, Nicaragua. 



Head sparsely covered with longish white hairs; the face and oral 

 region smooth; the front and vertex coarsely shagreened and punctured. 

 Thorax above coarsely and closely punctured, the punctures round and 

 clearly separated, especially in front; on the metanotum they are trans- 

 verse. Mesopleurae coarsely shagreened, the apex punctured, smooth in 

 front of this and with an elongated, large fovea, narrow in front, be- 

 coming widened behind. Metapleurae rugose, thickly covered with white
