2. ACROCLISOIDES LATICEPS new species of A. P. Dodd and A. A. Girault. 
Female: — Length, 1.75 mm. 
Very similar to megacepJialus but the hind coxa? also concolorous, the fore wings hyaline, 
the postmarginal vein no longer than the marginal, the pedicel only suffused with yellow, the 
last three fuuicle joints yellow, ringed with black apically, the abdomen longer, oval, the 
fourth segment occupying less than a half of the surface, the abdomen not squarely cut off 
behind it as in megaceplialus. AH three species have very large, 4-dentate mandibles.

3. ACROCLISOIDES MAJOR new species of A. P. Dodd and A. A. Girault. 
Female: — Length, 2.50 mm. 
Similar to the genotype but much larger, all coxae concolorous, rest of legs and antennal 
scape and pedicel lemon yellow, fore wings hyaline; head large but only a little wider than 
the thorax, the vertex not narrow, mandibles very large, petiole of abdomen yellow, not longer 
than hind coxse nor half as long as fest of abdomen, segments 2-4 subequal, the remaining 
segments very short and hidden; stigmal vein somewhat longer than the marginal and a little 
shorter than postmarginal; funicle joints longer*. 
Described from one female caught by sweeping edge of jungle, December 20, 1912 
(A. P. Dodd).

a slide. 
EPIPOLYCYSTUS new genus. 
Female: — ^Like Neopolycystus Girault but the club lacks the nipple-like fourth joint (or 
at least it is barely indicated) and is only 2-jointed, tho fourth segment of abdomen is a little 
longer than the second, the third a little shorter, the three combined occupying two thirds of 
the surface. Also the propodeum is quite different in shape, being conical, very short at the 
spiracle (in Neopolycystus nearly as long from the spiracle as along the meson, the short 
neck making the difference), long at meson. Segments 2 and 3 of abdomen caudad at meson 
with very slight notches. Segment 5 of abdomen transverse sublinear, not half the length of 
segment 4. Antcnnfe 12-jointed with three ring-joints. 
1. EPIPOLYCYSTUS ASILUS new species. Genotype. 
Female: — Length, 1.30 mm. 
Dark metallic green, the wings hyaline; all of each leg and the scape yellow-brown, 
also first two ring-joints which are smaller than the third. Piinicle joints more or less equal, 
■enlarging slightly distad, each a little wider than long, the pedicel distinctly longer. Head
