398 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol. xxix. 



the projecting- mandibles are large and have three teeth at apex; the 

 1'2-jointed antenna? are thickened toward apex, the scape stout, dilated 

 at apex, with the inner apical margin angulated, the pedicel longer 

 and stouter than the first joint of the funicle, the latter being obconi- 

 cal and longer than any of the following joints, except the last, which 

 is cone-shaped and about twice as long as the penultimate joint; the 

 thorax is smooth, shining, and impunctate, except the metathorax, 

 which is opaque, with some ridges, and clothed with a pale pubes- 

 cence; the parapsidal furrows are distinct, complete; the scutellum 

 has two large fovea? at base; the abdominal petiole is stout, fully 

 twice as long as thick, longitudinally furrowed, and pubescent, while 

 the body of the abdomen is long, oval, smooth, and shining, the first 

 segment occupying very nearly the whole surface, the other segments 

 being visible as transverse lines. Wings h3^aline, pubescent, the veins 

 pale, the radius represented by a fuscous streak, so as to form a large, 

 open marginal cell. 



Male. — Agrees with the female, except in having a different shaped 

 head and antennae. The head is not nearly so long, although it has 

 the caivna> and areas anteriorly as in the female, while the antennge 

 are longer, l-l-jointed, filiform, the joints of the fiagellum cylindrical, 

 more than thrice as long as thick, the first two a little shorter, the 

 last joint the longest and slenderest, more than four times as long as 

 thick.

2. GALESUS LUZONICUS, new species. 



Male. — Length 1.9 mm. Polished black, impunctate; legs, except 

 the coxae, red; wings h3'aline, pubescent. On the face and along the 

 anterior margin of the mesonotum are some sparse whitish hairs, 

 while the hind margin of the head laterally back of the eyes and on 

 the cheeks, the metathorax, the abdominal petiole, and the base of the 

 abdomen beneath, are clothed with a whitish pubescence. 



The head is carinate anteriorly; the antennae are 14-jointed, black, 

 and extend almost to the apex of the abdominal petiole, the scape 

 being shining and longitudinally striated, with the apex slightl}^ emar- 

 ginate, inclosing part of the pedicel, the flagellum being subopaque, 

 sparsely pubescent, the joints, except the last, being oval, hardly twice 

 as long as thick, the last being cone-shaped and fully thrice as long as 

 thick. The scutellum has two large fovea? at base and a broad 

 grooved line on each side; while the abdomen is similar to G. trianilse.

Easily distinguished from the previous species by its small size and 

 the great difierence in the length of the antennal joints.
