Synonymic and Descriptive Notes on the Hyraenoptera Chalcidoidea. 133 



stout, yet not abnornially ßwoUen; first and second funicle joints over 

 thrice longer than wide; joints 3 and 4 each a fourth shorter; joints 

 5 and 6 each about a fourth shorter than either 3 or 4 but 5 is slightly 

 longer and less broad than 6, club slender, long, much longer than the 

 scape; pubescence of funicle in whorls as in Alaptus, two rings of setae 

 on joints 3 to 6, each at basal and apical third, and on joints 1 and 

 2 the same but each whorl less conspicuous on these joints, its setae 

 less numerous. Tibial suprs single, short, straight, but the cephalic 

 ones forming a strigil, curved and forked, the tines distinct. Flagellum 

 about as long as the body. Parapsidal furrows distinct, complete, 

 curved. Ovipositor not exserted. Tarsal joints short; legs normal. 

 Fore wings slender and curved as in Alaptus, the caudal dilatation 

 present, not acute; marginal vein of fore wing about six times longer 

 than wide, moderate in length; discal ciliation of fore wing consisting 

 of a paired line along each margin alid an incomplete single roidlöngi- 

 tudinal line which is nearer the cephalic margin, and shorter proximad 

 by several cilia, than the bounding lines. Marginal cilia of fore wing 

 long and slender, the longest about from four and a half to five times 

 the greatest wing width, slightly longer than the longest cilia of the 

 posterior wings. Fore wing with a handle-like curve distad but this 

 is not pronounced. Posterior wings equal in length to the fore wings, 

 their discal ciliation consisting of a paired line of cilia along one margin 

 and a single line along the other, the latter line somewhat less distinct; 

 in shape, slender and cur^^ed, their m.arginal cilia moderately long at 

 both margins. 



The above notes taken from the two type f emales which are mounted 

 together on a baisam slide. The male remains unknown. 



Genus Gonatocerus Nees. 



1. Gonatocerus ater Foerster. 



I have the fragments of two female specimens labelled as this 

 ßpecies which were mounted on minutien pins in the collections of 

 the United States National Museum and which bore no data. Their 

 bodies are wholly jet-black, the fore wings very broad, the ovipositor 

 distinctly exserted. Coniparison of the fore wings with Enock's {Oo- 

 philus) Gonatocerus longicauda shows marked sirailarity as does also the 

 abdomen. The two spccies are undoubtedly the same. However, 

 I could not compare the antennae as they are missing in the specimens 

 before me. I treat of longicauda more at length elsewhere, showing that 

 it is a true Gonatocerus and not the type of a new segregate. The wing 

 and abdominal characters are characteristic as is also the mournful 

 black of the body.
