18. TETRALOPHIELLUS Ashmead, new genus. 

 (Type, TetralophieU Hs hrevicollis.) 

 This genus is allied to Tetracladia Howard, but may be easily sepa- 

 rated by the longer marginal vein, which is about three times as long 

 as the stigmal, by the axilla?, which meet at their inner basal angles, 

 and by the much shorter pronotum, which is scarcely visible from above.

 purplish; legs brown-black, all tibiie with a white annulus at base, 

 the tips of anterior and middle tibia- and all tarsi, except the last joint, 

 whitish. The antenuie are black, with funicle joints 1-4 each, fur-
