66 ME. W. H. ASHMEAD ON THE PAEASITIC HTMENOPTEEA 



joints and legs yellow ; mandibles, metathorax, and base of abdo- 

 men rufous. Sometimes the whole abdomen is black. Antennae, 

 in female, scarcely longer than the body, 13-jointed, cylindric, the 

 seven apical joints slightly thickened, fuscous : in male 15-jointed, 

 twice as long as the body, fuscous, the joints all fluted ; the first 

 flagellar joint is one third longer than the second, curved, clavate. 

 The cup of the scutellum in the male is very small, narrowed ; in 

 the female larger, elliptic, its dorsum smooth, with a fovea 

 posteriorly and some punctures anteriorly. "Wings hyaline, 

 fringed, the venation pale brown; the marginal cell is closed, 

 about twice as long as wide, the abscissas of radius about equal 

 in length, the first being slightly curved. 



Sab. St. Yincent. 



Described from one male and three female specimens. 



GrANASPis, Forster. 



This genus, as recognized here, comes close to Aglaotoma ; but 

 the antennae in the female are shorter, clavate, the six or seven 

 terminal joints enlarged, submoniliform, much as in Sexacola, 

 from which it differs, however, in having a closed radial cell. 

 In the male the first flagellar joint is scarcely longer than the 

 second, not or only slightly curved. 



The two species may be tabulated as follows : — 



Entirely pale ferruginous or honey-yellow 2. 



Pale ferruginous or honey-yellow, with the head black or 



fuscous. 



Six terminal joints moniliform, black, and, except the 



last, scarcely longer than thick. 



First funicle-joint twice as long as the second, the 



second and third equal, longer than thick, the 



fourth and fifth small; moniliform. $ G. atriceps. 



Three or four terminal joints black, and fully twice as 

 long as thick. 

 First funicle-joint very little longer than the second, 

 the following all long, cylindric, thrice as long as 



thick. 2 • ^- opicO'lis. 



2. Antennae 15-jointed, filiform, the three apical joints 



white. J . . -. G. apicalis. 



Antennse 13-jointed, the three apical joints fuscous. $ 

 variety (?) G. apicalis.
