This, and the following species, belong to Thomson's 

 Telenomini and, apparently from its punctured front, to 

 Telenomus ; the difference between Telenomus and Phanurus 

 lying in the latter having the front smooth and the 

 ovipositor exserted. I can hardly look upon Phanunis 

 as distinct from Teleno7nus. 



Bred from the eggs of a bug from the Amazon Valley. 



Telenomus (Phanurus) Amazonica, sp. nov. 

 (PL I. f. 4-4, a). 



Black, the six basal joints of the antennae pallid yellow. 

 Head and abdomen shining, impunctate ; mesonotum 

 opaque, alutaceous, almost punctured ; base of second 

 segment striolate ; scutellum shining. Antennae with a 

 four-jointed abrupt club, its last joint thinner and smaller 

 than the penultimate ; the second and third joints sub-equal. 

 Ocelli situated close to the eyes. Second abdominal 

 segment larger than all the others united. Ovipositor 

 exserted. $. Length i J^ millim. 



Amazon Valley. — Bred from the eggs of a bug. 



It is remarkable that most of the species of Telenomus 

 whose habits have been investigated are parasites in the 

 eggs of bugs. 



IV. J New Genus of European TenthrediiiidcB, 



Hennedyia gen, nov. (Tenthredinidce,) 



Antennae filiform, 22-jointed. Fore wings with two radial 

 and four cubital cellules ; the second and third of the latter 

 receiving each a recurrent nervure ; lanceolate cellule with 

 an oblique cross nervure ; hind wings with two cubital 

 cellules. Spurs not reaching to the middle of metatarsus ; 

 patellae obsolete ; claws simple. 



This genus belongs to the Tribe Tenthredina and sub- 

 tribe Selandriades of Thomson and of my Monograph of
