the pedicel, the following gradually shortening, the fifth and sixth

 densely pubescent ; scutellum with a moderately large, but not 

 deep fovea at base ; metathoracic carina triangular, acute ; body of

c? . Agrees well with the female in colorational detail, but with 

 the antennae 14-jointed, nearly 1^ times as long as the body, the 

 flagellum either reddish piceous or reddish yellow, the second 

 joint a little longer than the first, the following joints, except the

(3) DiAPEIA PERAFFINIS, sp. n. 



2 . Length 1 mm. Agrees well with D. grenadensis, except in 

 its smaller size and in the decidedly different shaped antennae. 

 The antennae are shorter, reaching scarcely to the apex of the 

 metathorax, with the club abrupt, 3- jointed ; the first funicular 

 joint is shorter than the pedicel, only a little longer than thick, 

 while the other joints are rounded or moniliform, not longer than 

 thick, the last two being a little transverse ; the first joint of the 

 club is transverse-quadrate, the second quadrate, the last oblong, 

 twice as long as the penultimate ; scutellum with a small, shallow 

 • fovea at base ; petiole of abdomen not longer than thick, pubescent. 



The male, on the contrary, differs from that of B. grenadensis 

 in having the antennae much longer, nearly twice as long as the 

 body, with the flagellar joints lougly pedunculated, the petiole a 

 little more than twice as long as thick. 



Balthazar and St. George's. Described from one female and 

 two male specimens.

S . Length 2 mm. Head and abomen black ; thorax, except 

 the mesopleura which are black, rufous ; antennae and legs reddish 

 yellow ; wings hyaline, ciliated, the stigma yellowish. 



Head globose ; antennae 14-jointed, nearly twice the length of 

 the body, verticillate, the flagellar joints longly pedicellated ; 

 scutellum with a deep fovea at base; metathorax and petiole 

 densely pubescent, the latter long, about 4 times as long as thick ; 

 body of abdomen black, but more or less reddish or pale at the 

 juncture with the petiole. 



Balthazar. Described from one male specimen. 



(5) DiAPEIA UNICOLOEj Sp. n. 



?. Length 1-6 mm. Uniformly rufous; antennae and legs 

 reddish yellow ; wings hyaline, ciliated, the stigma yellowish.
