CHARLES W. HOOKER. 85 



In describing this species I have examined a cotype,* two 

 9 and one d^ specimens. 



Cotypes. — Three 9 's, location unknown to me. 



This species resembles E. flavus in size and structure, but 

 the shape of the maculas and color of the vertex differ. 



Distribution. — This species is tropical, having been re- 

 ported from the Islands of Cuba, St. Vincent, Grenada, 

 Porto Rico and Jamaica, and probably ranges through the 

 rest of the Antilles and possibly to central and tropical 

 South America. 



Nothing is known of the life history, habits or hosts. 



Location of specimens. — American Entomological Society 

 (Philadelphia), cf homotypes ?, No. 79; two 9 and one 6^ 

 specimens, Cuba. American Museum Natural History, 9 

 cotypes ? or homotypes, Cuba. U. S. National Museum, 

 Cayamas, Cuba ; Aguadilla, Porto Rico ; St. Vincent. 



Enicospilus flaviceps (Br.). 



Ophion flaviceps Brulle, Hist. Nat. Ins., Hym., IV, p. 142, n. 10, 



Brazil 1846. 



Dalla Torre, Cat. Hym., Ill, p. 190 1901. 



Henicospilus flaviceps Szepligeti, Gen. Ins., Hym., 34meFasc., p. 



27, n. 55 1905. 



Rufous, head flavous, sides of abdomen fuscous ; mesonotum faintly 

 trilobate ; stigma yellowish, discocubital cell with two yellowish maculcz. 



Length, 20 mm. 



Rufous, with head yellow ; mesonotum faintly trilobate, without dis- 

 tinct brown lines ; metathorax with anterior transverse sinuous carinae, 

 a little emarginate in the middle, behind this strongly punctured, the 

 base with fine longitudinal striae. Wings hyaline, stigma yellowish, 

 discocubital cell with two yellowish maculas ; nervures brown in the 

 primary, red in the secondary region. 



Abdomen a little spotted with brown on the sides below, the border 

 of the segments a little yellowish. 



* There is in the American Entomological Society Collection a male 

 specimen of this species presented by Osten Sacken on or before 1868 

 and labelled by him ; as the three 9 cotypes were in his collection this 

 is probably a homotype. A female specimen in the American Museum 

 of Natural History is also from the Osten Sacken collection and labelled 

 by him, hence probably of similar standing or a possible cotype.
