70 AMERICAN HYMENOPTERA. 



Described from two female and two male cotypes. 



CotyPes. — 9 and cf, U. S. National Museum; 9 and cf, 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College. 



This species is related to E. guatemalensis in structure, 

 venation and shape of the macula, but shows a constant wide 

 difference in color. Cameron described guatemalensis from 

 a single female specimen which may prove to be an albino, 

 but as the description is so incomplete and the type unavail- 

 able, the question can not be settled without a large number 

 of specimens. E. neotropictis seems, however, to be a good 

 species. 



Distribution. — This species is apparently tropical, for it has 

 been taken in the San Francisco Mountains, Santo Domingo, 

 and in Chili. 



Nothing is known of the life history or habits, but two of 

 the cotypes were taken in Santo Domingo during September. 



Location of specimens. — U. S. National Museum, cotypes 



from Santo Domingo. Massachusetts Agricultural College, 



cotypes.

 thorax with sides yellow ; mesonotum marked with three broad, light 

 brown lines; edges of mesothoraxof the same color, scutellum flavous; 

 metathorax with the posterior edge of its first region nearly straight, 

 the second region with distinct transverse wrinkles ; wings with the 

 nervures brown, stigma yellowish red ; discocubital cell with one 

 macula at the end of the glabrous area ; abdomen ' ' lost beyond the 

 third segment." 



* This species was originally described by BruUe as Ophion striatus, 

 but it evidently belongs in the genus Enicospilus . It was first trans- 

 ferred to that genus by Szepligeti in 1905, but with no change of name ; 

 the specific name was, however, preoccupied by E. striatus Cameron, 

 1899, and according to the International Code, Art. 34, E. striatus 

 must be rejected as a homonym. I therefore rename this species Eni- 

 cospilus brullei.
