ness, as in the Florida species, but instead there is a similar area of 

 dense minute pin-punctures (extending broadly over half way to base 

 along the meson) ; the second abdominal segment is a little longer. 

 Also the funicle joints are somewhat longer, i somewhat longer than 

 the pedicel. 



$ . Similar (but segment 2 of abdomen occupying the entire sur- 

 face?); funicle 4-jointed, the club solid, the scape distinctly com- 

 pressed. Funicle i somewhat longer than the pedicel, 4 subequal to the 

 pedicel. 



Described from one male, seven females reared from an 

 egg-mass of a Cassidid, Erin, Trinidad, British West Indies, 

 March, 1914 (F. W. Urich). 



Types: Catalogue No. 20133, U. S. N. M-, five females on 

 tags, male and female antennae on a slide. 



Psilophrys pulchripennis Ashmead. Genotype of Habrolcpopteryx 



Ashmead. 



Mandibles rather long, with three acute, subequal teeth; head shaped 

 as in Berecyntus; scrobes forming a distinct semicircular depression ; 

 frons moderately narrow; club 3-jointed. Funicle i twice longer than 

 wide. Frons subprominent; eyes not very large, longer than the 

 cheeks. Knees, tips of tibiae (broadly in cephalic tibiae), tarsi and the 

 long middle tibia, lemon yellow. General habitus of Paracalocerinus 

 australiensis Girault except the ovipositor. From types in the 

 U. S. N. M. The generic description is otherwise correct. 



Habrolepopteryx pulchripennis Ashmead, aeneiscapus new var. 

 5 . Similar to the genotype but the scape is concolorous. 



Types: Catalogue No. 20134, U. S. N. M., the specimens on 

 tags. From two females, part of the type of the typical form. 



Paracalocerinus americanus new species. 



9 . Agrees with the description of australiensis but the ovipositor 

 is extruded somewhat farther, the oblique eye-spots on the fore wing 

 are larger, their distance from the wing apex is much greater, the 

 cephalic one against the short postmarginal vein (as in the genotype) 

 and besides the fore wing bears a conspicuous longitudinal hyaline 

 streak along the middle from a point between the oblique eye-spots 

 (where it is narrowest) to apex (where it is broadest). The post- 

 marginal vein is slightly longer than the stigmal (the marginal linear, 

 six or more times longer than wide). The frons a little narrower 

 than in the genotype, the scrobes longer and more distinct (the head 

 is somewhat as in Habrolepopteryx but the inflexion is less) yet not 

 very long, the mandibles stouter. Funicle I smallest, somewhat like a
