A. A. Girault: 



thirds the length of the scape, the distal funicle joint a little longer 

 than wide; club 3-jointed, eleven antennal joints. Marginal vein 

 a little longer than the postmarginal, the stigmal a little shorter 

 than the latter, the venation pale; black of the Vertex extending 

 down the face on each side for a third the length of the scrobicular 

 cavity. Abdomen lanceolate, as long as the head and thorax, the 

 propodeum with a conic-ovate median Channel which is punctate 

 rather coarsely but much less so than the portions without the 

 Channel. Tegulae fuscous. Abdomen minutely polygonally sculp- 

 tured. 



(From one specimen, the same magnification.) 

 Male: Not known. 



From one specimen on a minutien mount labelled ,,22. VI/'. 

 H abitat: Paraguay, San Bernardino. 



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

 bearing a posterior leg and an antenna. 



The male of this species is probably represented by a male 

 specimen nearly similarly colored but for the present I describe 

 it as a new species since it differs in both coloration and sculpture. 



3. Bephrata consobrina new species. 



Male: Length, 3,75 mm. 



The same as the preceding species but the whole side of the 

 pronotum is lemon yellow, the posterior coxa has some black on 

 it, the antenna is black except scape and pedicel (black above, 

 the former along distal third); the abdominal petiole is much 

 longer, nearly as long as the body of the abdomen, the latter with 

 the venter yellow and the center of the side, compressed. The 

 propodeum has a median sulcus which is uniform in width. Antennae 

 10-jointed, the club 3-jointed, the funicle- joints all elongate, 

 the first as long as the scape (excluding the bulla), the fourth 

 or last about two thirds the length of the club; proximal joint of 

 the latter equal to the other two combined; pubescence of an- 

 tenna scattered, rather long setae, arranged moreor less in whorls. 



(From one specimen, similarly magnified.) 



Female: Unknown. 



From one male, minutien mounted, labelled ,,26. IL". 

 Habitat: Paraguay, San Bernardino. 



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

 with an antenna and posterior leg. 



Bephratoides new genus. 



Male and Female: Like Bephrata Cameron but the antennae 

 only 10-jointed, the club solid, the funicle with six joints. 

 Type: (Bephrata) Bephratoides Paraguay ensis (Crawford).
