as wide as the apex; its surface very coarsely punctate, rugose medially 

 and with a patch of oblique striae at the inner end of the oblique 

 grooves; spiracles distinctly before the middle. Second segment 

 slightly more than half as long as the first, broadest behind and dis- 

 tinctly shorter than wide; with a curved impression on each side 

 that extends from the middle of the anterior margin to the middle of 

 the lateral one; anterior corners separated by a short, deep oblique 

 groove, surface confluently punctate on the raised portions and 

 obliquely striate on the depressed parts. Third segmenfshorter than 

 the second and similarly sculptured, but with much less evident 

 striae; following segments smooth and shining. Hind legs very long, 

 with the coxae and femora thickened; front tibiae twisted and con- 

 stricted at the base; tarsal claws simple. Ovipositor as long as the 

 body. Submedian cell distinctly shorter than the median ; transverse 

 cubitus long, one third the length of the recurrent ner\aire; transverse 

 discoidal vein in hind wing broken below the middle. 



To judge from the generic description of Cyanoxorides, this species 

 is atypical in having a more nearly petiolate abdomen, with the 

 spiracle of the first segment placed before the middle. It is so typical 

 in all other respects, however, that it is undoubtedly congeneric with 

 Cameron's species. 



Enicospilus Stephens. 



There are four species of this genus in the collection, three of which 

 are apparently undescribed, together with E. salovwnis Cameron. 

 They may be distinguished by the following key. 



1. Submedian cell of same length as the median; abdomen black 

 beyond second segment; wing- venation very dark. Plate 1, fig. 1. 



E. fidacorensis, sp. nov. 

 Submedian cell shorter than the median; abdomen entirely red- 

 dish; wing-venation brown 2. 



2. Propodeum finely sculptured; cubito-discoidal cell with two 

 widely separated, chitinous spots, one near each end of the first 



section of the radius. Plate 1, fig. 4 E. salomojiis Cam. 



Propodeum coarsely reticulate, especially toward apex; chitinous 

 spots not as above 3. 



3. Recurrent nervure as long as the transverse cubitus; metapleura 

 finely, closely punctate. Plate 1, fig. 3. .£. approximatus, sp. nov. 

 Recurrent nervure nearly twice as long as the transverse cubitus; 

 metapleura irregularly sculptured, more or less rugose and striate.
