laris, except the legs, including all coxse, are uniformly brownish 

 yeUow, the scutellum exhibits no umbilicate punctures, the petiole

ASHMEADTA ABNOBMICOENIS, sp. n. 



(S . Length 1"5 millim. Wholly black, except the articulations 

 of legs and the tarsi, which are honey-yellow. Antennae with 

 the funicle- joints round and strongly pedicellated at apex, with 

 whorls of whitish hairs, the chib being 3-jointed. Wings clear 

 hyaline, the marginal vein long and slender, more than three 

 times the length of the stigmal vein. 



Sab. St. Vincent. 



Described from a single specimen. 



The peculiarity of the antennae renders the species easy of 

 recognition, and will probably warrant, when the female is 

 discovered, the creation of a new genus for its reception. 



ASHMEADIA MEGASTIGMA, Sp. n. 



2 . Length 2 millim. Wholly brownish yellow, the meta- 

 notnm and sheaths of ovipositor black; flagellum pale brownish, 

 the joints transverse, pubescent ; wings hyaline, the stigmal vein 

 terminating in a large circular stigma, the marginal vein less 

 than three times the length of the stigmal. 



Sab. St. Vincent.

The large, circular stigma, as in the Torymid genus Mega- 

 stigma, at once distinguishes the species.
