1933] Wasp Guests from Puerto Rico 
Lares, Puerto Rico, Dec. 1931, holotype and several para- 
types reared from nests of Polistes crinitus by Fr. Sein, Jr., 
with a much larger number of the following species. Holo- 
type in Cornell University collection, type No. 1240. 
Antipolistes, new genus 
Similar to Tinea. Head densely hairy all over, the hair 
above the antennae tending to form two tufts, as usual ; eyes 
very small, separated by more than 3 times their width; 
ocelli invisible; antennae over 2/3, simple, scape simple, 
somewhat roughly scaled, without pecten or eyecap, shaft 
with one whorl of long scales to a segment, smooth toward 
base, somewhat rough outwardly; labial palpi moderate, 
drooping, second segment bristled, third rather shorter, 
fusiform ; maxillary palpi invisible, and tongue absent ; hind 
tibia with upper spurs between 1/3 and 1/4, the outer upper 
spur very long, reaching nearly to tip of tibia ; loosely hairy 
above and with some loose hair below ; tarsus not modified. 
Wings lanceolate (figs. 2^,3$); fore wing with Ri and Cui 
lost, and one other vein (apparently Mi) ; the three apical 
veins stalked, but not always the same way; no accessory 
cell; R 5 running to costa, R 2 arising at 5/6, Cu 2 a little 
further out but hardly at angle. 1st A absent, 2nd A 
simple. Hind wing broad lanceolate, 2/3 fore wing, the 
costa a little sinuate beyond middle; subcosta ending be- 
yond the sinuation but far before apex, R simple, free, Mi 
lost, M 2 very weak and free, M 3 longer and free ; Cu a much 
stronger vein, plainly forked at apex. No cell or anal veins. 
Fringe 3. 
There are a few weak aculese at the base of the cell of 
the fore wing, besides the usual patch on the inner margin. 
This genus is the most reduced of the Tineidae known to 
me, the vein formula being 9-5; I judge it is a reduction of 
Achanodes, but the only genera that seem to have reached 
a similar stage of reduction in venation are the Indian 
Brachydoxa and Asyndetaula, which show by their short 
antennae and smooth hind tibiae that they do not belong to 
the true Tinea group. Meyrick’s Clepticodes hexaleuca 
(Exot. Micr., iv, 324) must be similar, but if correctly
