legs fuscous, the knees, tips of tibiae and tarsi whitish, cephalic

 lemon yellow, contrasting with the other half. Scape, pedicel and 

 first one or two ring-joints yellow brown, the remainder dusky 

 black; first ring-joint only half the length of the others, the pedicel 

 distinctly shorter than the first funicle joint which is longest, the 

 others shortening, the distal one a little wider than long; fourth 

 club joint very short, cuneate, obliquely truncate, the other joints 

 wider than long. Head and all of thorax punctate, the propodeum 

 tricarinate, the lateral carinae short, curved mesad crossing the 

 middle one before its middle (proximad of it).

Male: Not known. 



From one female mounted as the preceding and labelled 

 ,,4351. 6. 9." and the usual locality label. 

 Habitat: Paraguay, San Bernardino. 



Type: Zool. Mus., Berlin, the above specimen and a slide 

 bearing posterior legs and antennae. 



Family Pteromalidae.

 1. Eurydinoteloides americana new species „ 

 Fe male: Length, 2 mm. 



Olive green, the abdomen and metathorax metallic; wings 

 hyaline; head and thorax with short white hairs which are scattered 

 and reclining, thus contrasting somewhat as in Catolaccus, Tegulae, 

 knees, tibiae and tarsi brownish yellow, the tarsi whitish, the

 length of the second. Segments 3 and 4 of abdomen with a small 

 sinus at the meson at caudal margin.

From one female on a minutien pin, labelled ,,5. VI." and so om 

 Habitat: Paraguay, San Bernardino.

The genus differs from Eurydinota in bearing three ring-joints 

 and from Eurydinotella in having both mandibles 4 dentate, the 

 second abdominal segment twice the length of the third, the very 

 short abdominal petiole and the median carina of the propodeum 

 which is crossed at proximal third by a cross-carina joining the
