114. CUBRASA, NEw GENUS 
FIGURE 660 
Type-species: Poeciloscarta cardini Metcalf and Bruner. 
Length 6.3-7.5 mm. 
Head moderately produced, anterior margin slightly obtusely rounded in 
dorsal view, median length of crown varying from slightly less than eight- 
tenths to slightly less than nine-tenths interocular width, and from slightly 
less than four-tenths to slightly more than four-tenths transocular width, 
without a carina at transition from crown to face, ocelli located slightly 
behind a line between anterior eye angles, each ocellus approximately equi- 
distant from median line of crown and adjacent anterior eye angle, crown 
_ with a broad shallow median concavity in basal two-thirds, without sculptur- 
ing or setae; antennal ledges not protuberant, in lateral view with anterior 
_ margins vertical; lateral clypeal sutures extending onto crown and attaining 
ocelli; face without a vertical lenticular sclerite bordering lateral clypeal 
suture on each side, clypeus flattened medially, muscle impressions distinct, 
transclypeal suture distinct, clypellus with contour of upper half continuing 
profile of clypeus, lower half almost parallel to long axis of body. 
Thorax with pronotal width less than transocular width of head, lateral 
margins slightly convergent anteriorly, dorsopleural carinae complete, 
posterior margin slightly concave, disk without sculpturing or pubescence; 
scutellum not transversely striate behind transverse sulcus. Forewing with 
membrane including most of inner apical cell and all but basal portions of 
remaining apical cells, with three closed anteapical cells, the base of the mid- 
dle one more distal than either of the adjoining anteapical cells, without an 
anteapical plexus of veins; forewings of female in rest position exceeding apex 
of ovipositor. Hindleg with femoral setal formula 2:1:1; length of proximal 
tarsomere equal to or greater than length of two more distal tarsomeres, and 
with two parallel rows of small setae on plantar surface. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer moderately produced, with a slight concavity at 
apex, with very few (1-3) anteapical small macrosetae, pygofer processes ab- 
sent. Plates slender, triangular, with divergent apices, each with a single row 
of small setae in apical two-thirds. Style extending approximately as far 
apically as apex of connective. Connective with stem longer than arms which 

are widely divergent. Aedeagus curved strongly dorsad, without processes, in 
lateral view not expanded in apical half, gonopore anteapical on anterior 
margin. Paraphyses symmetrical. 
Female abdominal sternum VII moderately produced, with posterior 
margin acute apically. Genital chamber with dorsal wall heavily sclerotized, 
and with a pair of discal circular areoles. Ovipositor with second valvulae 
broad and toothed dorsally throughout most of length, teeth slanting postero- 
ventrally and with minute intermediate secondaries between the primaries, 
with anteapical ventral denticles, valvular apices narrowly rounded. Pygofer 
i ° . 
with numerous macrosetae on apical half. 
Cubrasa, new genus, is known only from the type-species, C. cardini (Metcalf 
'and Bruner, 1936a:937) from Cuba, a species with crown, pronotum, and
