OF THE ISLAND OE ST. VINCENT. 67 



GrANASPIS ATMCEPS, Sp. n. 



$. Length If millim. Pale ferruginous, polished, the head 

 and six terminal antennal joints black ; mandibles and palpi 

 pale. Antennae IS-jointed, not longer than the thorax, the club 

 6-jointed, the joints, except the last, scarcely longer than thick, 

 black, delicately fluted ; the first joint of funicle is twice the length 

 of the second, the second and third equal, longer than thick, the 

 fourth and fifth moniliform, not longer than thick. The 

 scutellum at sides is finely rugose, its cup small, elliptic, with a 

 small fovea posteriorly. Metathorax short, finely rugose, with a 

 medial carina. "Wings hyaline, fringed, the venation pale brown ; 

 the marginal cell is closed, a little more than twice as long as 

 wide, the second abscissa of the radius being one third longer 

 than the first, both slightly curved ; cubitus visible. Abdomen 

 not longer than the thorax, with the usual girdle at base. 



Sab. St. Vincent. 



Described from a single female specimen. 



Ganaspis apicalis, sp. n. 



(5" 5 • Length f to 1 millim. Pale ferruginous or honey- 

 yellow ; the head in the female most frequently black or fuscous, 

 rarely entirely pale as in the male. Antennae in female 13- 

 jointed, about as long as the body, the six terminal joints 

 enlarged, at least twice as long as thick, fiuted, the three or 

 four apical joints always black or fuscous ; the first joint of 

 funicle is cylindrical, a little longer than the second, the joints 

 beyond, to the club, at least thrice as long as thick. In the male 

 the antennae are pale brown or slightly fuscous, 15-jointed, 

 nearly twice the length of the body, with the three terminal 

 joints always white. Scutellum at sides finely rugose ; the cup 

 in the male is small, arched, its dorsum smooth and polished, with 

 only a small fovea posteriorly ; in the female sometimes with 

 two fovese and sometimes with a fovea posteriorly and punctures 

 anteriorly. Abdomen a little longer than the thorax, with a 

 woolly girdle at base. 



Sah. St. Vincent. 



Described from several specimens. 



Prom the difi'erence observed above in the scutellar characters, 

 I suspect this species may really represent two distinct species ; 

 but, as the specimens are hardly suflB.cient for me to determine
