1895.] HTMENOPTEHA OF THE ISLAND OF GBENADA. 775 



the cup oval or ovate, rarely small, elliptic, and usually with a 

 fovea posteriorly and some punctures anteriorly. Front wings 

 either with an open or closed marginal cell, the first abscissa 

 shorter than the second, the cubitus wanting ; apex of wings 

 usually entire, rarely emarginate or sinuate. Abdomen with the 

 usual hair-fringe at base. 



In having a 5-jointed antennal club this genus agrees with 

 Pentacrita, Forster, a subgenus of Kleidotoma, but it is readily 

 distinguished from it by the finely rugose or punctate scutellum, 

 the cup being larger and the abdomen shorter, besides a difference 

 in venation. 



From Cothanaspis, which also has a 5-jointed club, it is readily 

 separated by a raised pubescent or woolly girdle at base. 



The genus is in reality a subgenus of Eucoela, Westwood. 



The species described under the new genus may be tabulated as 

 follows : —
