“more or less developed” in the 14th line from the top of 
the page should be omitted. 
P. globosus n. sp. 
Allied to P. aequus Cress., but the antennae are black; legs black 
except knees and extremities of tibiae; ovipositor short, yellow, with 
black, globose base. Front subopake, shining only at vertex, becoming 
silvery towards antennae, with an evident, narrow, median shining 
stripe; antennae abruptly long acuminate (Fig. 12) (1). Mesonotum 
subopake, brown, lateral margins cinereous. anterior angles more sil- 
very; scutellum cinereous; humeri yellowish; pleurae and metanotum 
cinereous; halteres brown. Abdomen elongate, subparallel laterally, 
subopake, brownish with lateral angles of segments cinereous; first 
segment with small lateral comb of black bristles; fifth and sixth sub- 
equal, longer than fourth. Ovipositor short, reaching only to apex of 
fourth, yellow, abruptly attenuating from a rather small shining black, 
globose base (similar to Fig. 81). Nearly all tarsi yellow. Wings hya- 
line, stigma equalling 4th section, fifth, one and a half times fourth; 
fourth vein simple. Length 3 mm., wing 4 mm.

P. fuscus Loew. 
In the 14th line from the top of the page (3) of my de- 
scription, the “humeri” should be black instead of “‘yellow,” 
thus reading, humeri black and halteres yellow. 
P. biscaynei n. sp. 
Antenne with third joint yellow, long white acuminate; humeri 
black; abdomen subopake to opake, densely cinereous laterally; ovi- 
positor extending to base of abdomen, yellow, gradually tapering from 
an elongate globose base; 6th segment of abdomen slightly longer than 
5th; legs entirely yellow; stigma colored, equalling following section 
and shorter than sth section; fourth vein forked. 
Seemingly allied to P. brevis Cress., but differing from the descrip- 
tion of that species (I have not the type before me) as follows: Front 
mostly shining black, only silvery a little above the antennz, con- 
stricted towards vertex; occiput normal; knob of halteres entirely 
yellow. Abdomen subopake to opake: first, lateral and ventral mar- 
gins of 2-4, 5th except a median stripe, and entire 6th segments, densely 
cinereous, the dark portions subopake, brown pruinose; 5th segment
