' tibiae with more than the apical half fuscous behind, the. apex fuscous all 



t round ; the tarsi are of a paler, whitish testaceous colour . Wings clear 



t hyaline, the nervures whitish testaceous ; they are very irridescent. Female. 



; Length, body and ovipositor, nearly 2 m.m. 



The legs are densely covered with longish white pubescence ; the sheaths 

 of the ovipositor densely with stiff black pubescence. The abdominal segm- 

 ments are fringed with white hair. The apex of the scutellum being smooth, 

 not punctured like the rest, makes this species almost a Syntomaspis, but on 

 the whole it seems to be a Torijmus. 



Syntomaspis loranthi, sp. n. 



Green with brassy tints, the 2nd and following segments of the abdomen 

 dark violaceous, the antennal scape and the 1st joint of the fiagellum dark 

 fulvous ; the f oiu front legs rufo-testaceous, their coxae, trochanters and the 

 greater part of the femora fuscous, almost black, the hind coxae, trochanters 

 and femora green, the apex of the femora, tibiae and tarsi rufo-testaceous; 

 wings clear hyaline, the nervures pallidtestaceous. Male. Length, 2 m m. 



Head finely, closely reticulated, the occiput smooth. Pronotum in the 

 centre brownish, closely acicu.lated, a fine keel down the middle, the base and 

 sides with scattered punctures. Mesonotum strongly umbilically punctate, 

 clearly trilobate, the apex brassy. The basal part of scutellum less strongly 

 and more closely umbilically punctate than the mesonotum : the apical 

 division in the middle finely closely punctured, the sides closely, rather 

 strongly obliquely striated, the two divisions clearly separated. Metapleurae 

 smooth. Upper part of propleurae irregularly, strongly punctured, the rest 

 strongly aciculated ; the raised central part of the mesopleurae closely, 

 distinctly punctured. Metapleurae smooth. Abdomen smooth and shining. 

 Coxae closely, distinctly punctured. Bredfromgall on " bird vine " (Loranthus).

EURYTOMLNI. 



Eurytoma guianaensis, sp. n. 



Black, covered with white pubescence, the antennae dark testaceous, 

 covered with white pubescence, the legs whitish testaceous, the femora dis- 

 tinctly tinged with rufo-fulvous ; the ventral surface broadly rufous ; wings 

 hyaline, the nervures whitish yellow, as are also the tegulae. The metapleurae 

 more densely pilose than the rest of the thorax. The hypopygium largely 

 projects, as does also the sheath of the ovipositor. Head and the thorax 

 above closely umbilically punctate, the propleurae finely, closely, longitudinally 

 reticulated. Basal part of mesopleurae finely, closely reticulated, the apical 

 shining, smooth above, the lower part finely, closely striated, the apex crenu- 

 lated. Metapleurae apparently alutaceous, but the sculpture almost hidden 

 by the dense longish hair. The apical two-thirds of the 2nd segment and the 

 following are aciculated and covered with white pubescence, especially at 

 at the apices. Female. Length, 2 m.m.
