MoreNew Genera and Speciesof CbalcidoidHymenopteraFrom Paraguay. 67 



if the club is 2-jointed, the antennae are 12-jointed as originally 

 described and the genus is, perhaps, a good one. Ceyxia is only a 

 subgenus, at best, of Chalets but Tumidicoxa seems to be valid. 

 In many speeimens I believe the distal club joint is often eaten 

 away or eise falls away and the club then appears to be truneate 

 and 2-jointed. Also in some speeimens, the club is two-jointed 

 from one aspect while from another it appears as if there was a 

 very short third joint, obliquely truncated. After much conside- 

 ration I must conclude that both Ceyxia and Tumidicoxa are the 

 same as Chalcis.

2. (Tumidicoxa) Chalcis hyalinipennis Girault. 

 Two males, San Bernardino, June 5 and 22. 



Family Encyrtidae. 

 Taneostigmini. 



Taneostigmodes Ashmead. 

 1. Taneostigmodes americana new species. 

 Female: Length, 2,20 mm. 



Lemon yellow, the Vertex and all dorsal aspect of mesothorax 

 excepting laterad on each side ochreous; antennae and legs con- 

 colorous, the dorsal aspect of the abdomen (except the distal 

 fourth) dark brownish; wings hyaline; proximal funicle joint 

 longer than wide, joint 5 and following wider than long, the first 

 joint of the funicle a little longer than the pedicel; postmarginal 

 vein distinctly short er than the stigmal. Parapsidal furrows meeting 

 and joined distinctly for some distance before reaching the base of 

 scutum. Thorax with scattered thimble punetures. Sparse white 

 pubescence. 



(From two speeimens, similarly magnified.)
