174 A. A. Girault: 
at apex and with a raised median carina; the body is shorter, the 
abdomen not so long; the excised tooth beneath near the apex 
of cephalic femur is single but there is another short blunt tooth 
nearly at the apex (also present in americana but flatter, convex); 
the stigmal vein differs in shape, being squarely truncate at apex; 
the second funicle joint of the antenna is not any longer than 
the third, distinetly shorter than the long pedicel and only about 
one and a half times longer than the first joint; the distal club 
joint is slightly shorter than the pedicel. Otherwise, as in 
americana. 
(From one specimen, magnified to the same degree.) 
Male: Unknown. 
Described from one female specimen, minutien-mounted and 
labelled ‚Paraguay (San Bernardino). K. Fiebrig. S.V.” and 
„984°. 
Habitat: South America — San Bernardino (Paraguay). 
Type: Katalogue No. 31952, Zool. Museum, Berlin, the 
foregoing female on a minutien mount plus one slide (female an- 
tenna and posterior leg). 
In this connection I should state that the two specimens of 
Torymidae mentioned at the beginning of my paper (Girault, 
1911) on page 377 as being too mutilated for generic identification 
were undoubtedly members of the Cleonymidae and probably 
species of Epistenia. 
Family Encyrtidae. 
Subfamily Eupelminae. 
Tribe Eupelmini. 
Genus Paraguaya Girault. 
1. Paraguaya pulchripennis Girault. 
Two additional females labelled ‚Paraguay. San Bernardino, 
K. Fiebrig. S.V. 23. VI.” Returned to the Zoological Museum, 
Berlin. 
The metallic color of the body is opaque or satiny, the 
sculpture is fine; the silvery ring at base of the abdominal venter 
sometimes shews on the dorsum at the same place; the abdomen 
is not always erect in dead specimens. Living specimens I have 
never seen. In some specimens, the bluish in places may be a 
mournful opaque black. The mesopleurum is very finely longitudi- 
nally striate, the striae not straight, becoming, cephalad, fine 
polygonal reticulation and bearing there a number of white tipped, 
recumbent but stiff hairs. The postmarginal vein is nearly twice 
the length of the stigmal.
