20. Encyrtus Hyettus. Nigro-cyaneus, capite viridi, antennis ni-

13.)

scutum short, broad; parapsides forming one segment with the scu- 
tum; scutellum obconic, surrounded by a rim: propodeon short, 
broad : abdomen broad, shorter than the thorax, to which it is closely

Taken in St. Vincent’s Island by the late Rev. Lansdown Guild- 
ing. In the collection of the Rev. F. W. Hope, ‘This species may 
be considered as the type of a new genus, for which I propose the 
name AZnasius. ‘The ulna is longer than is that nervure in most other 
Encyrtide. In the form of the antennz it approaches Cerapteroce- 
rus, and in some characters it resembles Hunotus. © 
21. Elasmus Anticles, fem. Viridis, antennis pedibusque piceis, 
alis limpidis. (Corp. long. lin. 1; alar. lin. 14.) 
Fem. Body green: head very short: antennz piceous, shorter than 
the thorax: thorax convex, coarsely punctured: podeon not appa- 
rent: abdomen lanceolate, twice the length of the thorax, depressed 
above, keeled beneath, decreasing in breadth from the base to the 
tip: oviduct subexserted : legs piceous, long, slender: wings limpid;
