In addition to the fulvous antennae this species is separated from 

 some of the other forms by the following characters: 



The enlarged stigmal knob distinguishes E. eucalyj^ti Ashmead; 

 E. hinotata has a whitish spot on each side of the pronotum, the legs 

 lighter color and the propodeum rugose; E. australiensis has the pro- 

 podeum rugose and the fourth segment of the abdomen fully as long 

 as segments 1-3 combined. 



BEPHRATA CUBENSIS Ashmead. 



Mr. Patricio Cardin has sent to the Bureau of Entomology, United 

 States Department of Agriculture, from Santiago de la Vegas, Cuba, 

 two females of this species, with the record that they were reared 

 from seeds of Anona species. 



This record, together with the one for the following species, con- 

 stitute, so far as is known to the author, the first rearing records 

 for this genus and add the genus to the li^t of those which are 

 phytophagous.
