758 ME. W. H. ASHMEAD REPORT ON THE PARASITIC [NoV. 19, 



ovate, not longer than the preceding ; joints 6-11 strongly fluted. 

 Scutellum coarsely rugose, the cup much narrowed, ovate, produced 

 into a long carina anteriorly, and with the usual small fovea 

 posteriorly, but anteriorly the usually glabrous surface is destroyed 

 by small close punctures. Wings hyaline, ciliate, the veins 

 yellowish, the marginal cell closed, about twice as long as wide, 

 the apical branch of the submarginal vein straight but short, 

 second branch of radius 1^ times as long as the first. Abdomen 

 about as long as the head and thorax united, piceous or rufous 

 along the venter, and with a greyish girdle of wool at base. 



Balthazar, Mount Gay Estate. Described from three female 

 specimens.

Eueoela daripennis, Ashm. Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. vol. xxv. 

 1894, p. 76. 



This early opportunity is taken to change the name of a species 

 described from St. Vincent, which I find is preoccupied by 

 Thomson. 



(6) EUCOELA ALIEKA, Sp. n. 



5 . Length 1-2 mm. Alhed to E. obliterata, but differs in 

 having the collar at sides, the metapleura and metanotum, as well 

 as the venter and base of abdomen, rufous or piceous, but other- 

 wise, in structural characters, it is apparently identical. 



Mount Gay Estate. Described from one female specimen. 



This species may be only a variety of K obliterata.

Hah. Cuba, Trinidad, St. Vincent, and Grenada. 



This species was previously recognized, in both sexes, from 

 St. Vincent, and now from three female specimens in the Grenada 

 material, from Balthazar and Mount Gay Estate. 



I cannot separate the species from E. rujiventris, Cameron, 

 described from Trinidad, and it is believed the above synonymy 

 will be found correct.

2 . Length 1 mm. Head black ; thorax and abdomen reddish 

 brown or dark ferruginous ; 5 apical joints of antennae black, rest 

 of antennae and legs brownish yellow.
