legs. The habits of the genus in Europe seem not to be known y 

 in ^Florida I have reared a species from an Aphis, and its habits 

 are therefore identical with Fachyneuron. 



Tribe Dipaeides. 



Lelaps, Haliday. 

 Of this interesting genus two distinct species occur in St, 

 Vincent, distinguished as follows : — 



Greenish seneous or aeneous black; pleura, meta- 

 thorax, and abdomen hlack. 

 5. Pedicel, middle of funicle, club, and legs 



luteous ; wings with a longitudinal fuscous 



band extending to the stigmal vein, and be- 

 tween this and the apex of the wing is a 



large fuscous spot. 

 S. Flagellum long, black, pilose; wings wholly 



hyaline L. pulchricornis,YL2i\.. 



Brownish yellow. 



? . Antennse, except 2 to 4 apical joints of 



funicle and the basal joint of club which are 



black, honey-yellow ; wings yellowish hyaline, 



with a spot beneath the base of marginal 



vein, another smaller spot enclosing the 



stigmal vein, and the apex of wing fuscous ; 



between the stigmal vein and the apical 



fuscous part are two large oblique whitish 



spots that meet and form a band. 

 cJ. Flagellum and abdomen black, the former

Of this species there are sixteen male and eleven female speci- 

 mens in the collection. The male was unknown to Haliday and 

 Walker, and agrees with the female, except as follows : — The 

 antennae are long, filiform, the flagellum being wholly black, the 

 joints all long, cylindrical, pilose ; wings clear hyaline ; while 

 the abdomen is iongly petiolated, the body pear-shaped.
