second submarginal cell is fully as high as long. Both 
species are very small. 
It differs from Teleostegus (of Europe) which has both 
recurrents ending in second submarginal, in having this cell 
very short, the first recurrent interstitial with the base of 
second submarginal, and in that the basal vein ends plainly 
before the transverse cubital. 
Aporinellus beqeaerti sp. nov. 
5 Black, basal joint of antennae, the mandibles, all coxae, 
femora and tibiae ferrugineous. Head, pronotum (except 
black before tip), most of propodeum, the pleura, apical 
bands on first four segments of abdomen sericeous, the first 
segment also sericeous in middle above, not on sides, tarsi 
yellow brown ; wings slightly f umose, much darker toward 
tip. 
Clypeus very broad, truncate in front; third joint of an- 
tennae scarcely if any longer than first, a faint median line 
from anterior ocelli down to antennae; face about as broad 
as in ferrugineipes ; ocelli a little closer to eyes than to 
each other ; front basitarsus with but two comb-spines ; mid 
and hind tibia with a few spines above, inner spur of hind 
tibia about one-half of basitarsus ; in fore wing the second 
submarginal cell is no longer than the marginal. 
Length 5.5 mm., fore wing 4.5 mm.

M.C.Z. 17030. 
Separated from A. ferrugineipes not only by the front 
and mid legs and basal joint of antennse yellowish, but by 
the sericeous basal abdominal segment; in ferrugineipes it 
is across both base and tip. 
Aporinellus basalis sp. nov. 
9 Deep black, face, clypeus and basal joint of antennae 
densely sericeous, vertex bare, front half of pronotum seri- 
ceous and a narrow white band on mesonotum connecting 
the bases of the wings ; the metanotum outside of the scutel- 
lem sericeous, propodeum sericeous, pleura sericeous, but 
usually part of sides black; legs (except tarsi) also seri-
