The roughly sculptured head and clouded wings ought to 
make this species easily recognizable. 
Eupelmus volator sp. nov. 
Female. Length 3.5 mm. Shining purplish black; trochanters, 
bases of femora, knees, base and tip of tibiae, and tarsi except tips, 
brownish testaceous. Wing-s hyaline, the venation pale. Head shin- 
ing, the occiput finely transversely aciculate and the cheeks vertically 
aciculate; malar furrow very distinct. Antennae short, distinctly 
thickened tow^ard the tip. Pedicel as long as the first flagellar joint 
and the ring joint together, the joints thereafter shortening and thick- 
ening, the sixth flagellar being quadrate; penultimate joint only one- 
third as long as the apical one. Eyes without trace of any pubescence. 
The insertion of the antennae is distinctly below the level of the low er 
eye-margin, and they are w^ell separated at the base. Clypeus convexly 
elevated. Prothorax very short; mesouotum shagreened, with the 
parapsidal elevations broadly rounded above, slightly convergent be- 
hind, meeting the transverse posterior elevation in a curve; central 
elevation rounded, not acute behind. Metanotum with a large impres- 
sion on each side, separated by a median carina. Pleurae shagreened. 
Abdomen not quite as long" as the head and thorax together, concave 
above, the posterior margins of the basal segments deeply incised. 
Venter subopaque toward the base. Ovipositor as long as the head 
height, pale except at the extreme base and tip. Marginal vein about 
as long as the submarginal; postmarginal and stig-mal subequal, each 
one-fourth as long as the marginal, the stigmal distinctly curved and 
but little enlarged at the tip. 
One female from Port Elizabeth, South Africa, October i, 
1895. 
This is possibly not a true Uupcluuis on account of the entirely 
bare eyes, low insertion of the antennae, but it seems to belong no- 
where else and I hesitate to erect a new genus for its reception. 
Eupelmus cursor sp. nov. 
Female. Length 4.5 mm. Elongate, slender; apterous, except for 
very small wing pads which reach only to the tip of the scutellum. 
Black, more or less bronzed; the prothorax bright greenish-blue; 
antenna! scape pale brown. ISIesonotum brown, with metallic blue re- 
flections behind; the elongate scapulae pale yellow; middle and pos-
