MiCEOBEACOTf, AsJimead. 

 (Bull. no. 1, Col. Biol. Assoc. 1890, p. 15.) 



MiCEOBRACON PILOSITHOEAX, Sp. n. 



c? . Length 2 millira. Black, finely punctulate, but shining, 

 and covered with sparse, glistening, white hairs ; orbits, face, 

 mandibles, palpi, legs, and most o£ the abdomen yellow ; the 

 shield of first and the dorsum of third and fourth abdominal 

 segments brown. Antennge 30-jointed, black. Mesopleurse with 

 a small fovea at the middle of its posterior margin. Metathorax 

 finely shagreened, the metapleura bounded above by a delicate 

 carina; the spiracles small, inconspicuous. "Wings subhyaline, 

 the first abscissa of the radius only a little shorter than the 

 second, the third abscissa about twice the length of the second ; 

 the second transverse cubital nervure is short, the second sub- 

 marginal cell, therefore, narrower at apex than at base, while the 

 recurrent nervure is not longer than the second branch of the 

 cubitus : in the hind wings the radial and cubital nervures are 

 abbreviated and do not extend to the apical margin. Abdomen 

 oval, shagreened, the second segment as long as the first, without 

 shield, furrow, or foveola, the following segments subequal. 



Rob. St. Vincent. 



Described from a single specimen. 



Subfamily Spathiinje. 



Stenophasmus, Smith. 



Stenophasmus teeminalis, sp. n. 



S $ . Length 3 to 6 millim. ; ovipositor longer than the body» 

 ferruginous, the abdominal segments usually more or less banded 

 with dusky, especially toward apex, rarely entirely fuscous ; 

 sometimes the thorax more or less fuscous ; the posterior legs 

 usually with brownish or fuscous markings.' Wings subfuscous, 

 the venation brown. .Head quadrate, smooth, except some trans- 

 verse aciculationson the vertex. Ocelli contiguous, in a triangle. 

 Antennae longer than the body ; in the female the four or five 

 apical joints white ; in male dusky or fuscous, the tips never 

 white. Thorax trilobed, more or less transversely rugose ; scu- 

 tellum smooth on the disk ; mesopleura with some longitudinal 

 striae superiorly ; sternum sometimes black or fuscous, smooth ;
