PARAMELLINUS, new genus. 



Enspongus Ashmead, Can. Ent., vol. 31, 1899, p. 200. 



Genotype. — Gorytes hipunctatus Say. 



Closest to Hapalomellinus Ashmead from which it may be sepa- 

 rated by the inner orbits diverging below antennse; pronotum very 

 short, perpendicular anteriorly; transverse median of hind wings at 

 right angles with the median and much before the cubitus; and other 

 points. Ammatomus A. Costa is also related but has different 

 venation, abdomen and head. 



Sternauli wanting; first abdominal segment coarctate, subpetio- 

 late ; eyes strongly converging to level of antennae, where they diverge ; 

 space between bases of antennse greater than the space between one 

 of them and the orbits; lateral ocelli on the supraorbital Une; pro- 

 notum transverse, perpendicular anteriorly, but little lower than the 

 mesoscutum; legs robust; stigma large, radius arising from near 

 middle; first recurrent in first cubital cell or interstitial with first 

 transverse cubitus; second recurrent near apex of second cubital 

 cell; transverse median nearly interstitial with the basal. 



ARIGORYTES, new genus. 



Genotype. — Gorytes coquillettei Fox. 



Sternauli present; first abdominal segment sessile with the second; 

 eyes strongly converging to the clypeus; antennse closer together at 

 bases than the distance from their bases to eye margin; lateral ocelli 

 on the supraorbital line; pronotum short, transverse and sharply 

 perpendicular anteriorly; propodeal inclosure strongly striate; trans- 

 verse median of fore wings much beyond basal; transverse median of 

 hind wings and cubitus interstitial or nearly; abdomen without dense 

 pile; mesoepisternum with a ceplial-caudad dorsal suture; female 

 with a tarsal comb; stigma small, the radius leaving at the apex. 



TRICHOGORYTES, new genus. 



Genotype. — TricJiogorytes argenteopilosus Rohwer. 



Similar to Arigorytes Rohwer, from which it may be known by the 

 following characters. Nasal margm of eyes subparallel; lateral 

 oceUi below the supraorbital line; pronotum long (for group), 

 rounded anteriorly; propodeal inclosure smooth; cubitus of hind 

 wings originating much beyond the transverse median; abdomen 

 with dense pile; sternauli wanting; and in having the prepectus like 

 Mellinus.
