OF THE ISLAND OF ST. TIKCENT. 95- 



middle cox^e metallic, yellowish at tip ; femora, tibise, tibial spur, 

 and tarsi laonej-yellow, femora brownish at middle ; hind coxae 

 honey-yellow, slightly darker at base, tibiae and tarsi honey-yellow, 

 femora dark except at tips. Wings hyaline ; fore wings with a 

 dusky patch of an irregular trapezoidal form, beginning in the 

 middle opposite stigma and extending to tip, gradually widening, 

 occupying at widest portion of the wing about one-third o£ the 

 wing- width. 



Described from five female specimens. 



ElSrCTETUS AEGBKTIPES, Sp. n. 



2 • Length 0"7 millim. ; expanse 1"6 millim. Agrees in some 

 structural details with ^. hrevicornis, Dalm., but differs in having^ 

 the antennal scape but slightly broadened, in the shape of the 

 head, and in coloration. The sole specimen is badly mounted and 

 this description is necessarily incomplete. Antennae inserted 

 a little below middle of face ; scape short, very slightly widened 

 below in middle, pedicel very short ; funicle conical, short, not 

 longer than club, the joints widening rapidly ; club as long as 

 funicle, obliquely flattened, nearly circular. Facial impression 

 horseshoe-shaped, the central ridge rounded but pronounced ; 

 vertex flattened, narrow, the ocelli forming an acute-angled 

 triangle, the head appearing rather triangular from side, some- 

 what as in Sabrolejns. Marginal vein of fore wings short, post- 

 marginal present, as long as stigmal, the latter forming a narrow 

 angle with the postmarginal. Head faintly shagreened ; meso- 

 notum appearing smooth and glistening (the sculpturing, if any, 

 obscured by mounting medium). Colour shining black ; antennal 

 scape silvery-white at tip, funicle silvery-white, with dense short 

 white pubescence, club black ; all coxae black ; all femora, tibiae, 

 and tarsi silvery-white, the femora with a black band at middle 

 and the tibite with a black band between middle and proximal 

 end. "Wings hyaline. 



Described from one female specimen. This species probably 

 belongs to a new genus ; but, without specimens from which all 

 the characters can be studied, it seems inadvisable to establish one.. 



EjSrCTETUS HIRTUS, Sp. U. 



$ . Length 0*9 millim. ; expanse 2 millim. ; greatest width of 

 fore wing 0"36 millim. Porms a new type in the genus, and will 

 doubtless eventually be separated geaerically. Antennal scape 

 short, stout, not widened below ; pedicel very narrow at proximal 

 end, two and one half times longer than its width at distal end ;.
