Show 758 MR. W. H. ASHMEAD REPORT ON THE PARASITIC [Nov. 19, ovate, not longer than the preceding; joints 6-11 strongly Scutellum coarsely rugose, the cup much narrowed, ovate, produced into a long carina anteriorly, and with the usual small fovea posteriorly, but anteriorly the usually glabrous surface is destroyed by small close punctures. Wings hyaline, ciliate, the veins yellowish, the marginal cell closed, about twice as long as wide, the apical branch of the submarginal vein straight but short, second branch of radius \\ times as long as the first. Abdomen about as long as the head and thorax united, piceous or rufous along the venter, and with a greyish girdle of wool at base. Balthazar, Mount Gay Estate. Described from three female specimens. (5) EUCOELA CANALICULATA, Ashm. Eucoela claripennis, Ashm. Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. vol. xxv. 1894, p. 76. This early opportunity is taken to change the name of a species described from St. Vincent, which I find is preoccupied by Thomson. (6) EUCOELA ALIENA, sp. n. 2 . Length 1*2 mm. Allied to E. obliterata, but differs in having the collar at sides, the metapleura and metanotum, as well as the venter and base of abdomen, rufous or piceous, but otherwise, in structural characters, it is apparently identical. Mount Gay Estate. Described from one female specimen. This species may be only a variety of E. obliterata. (7) EUCOELA CRESSONII, D. T. Eucoila basalis, Cr. Proc. Ent Soc. Phil. iv. p. 5 (1862). Eucoela cressonii, Dalla Torre, Wien. ent. Zeit. xi. p. 131 (1892); D. T. Cat. Hym. ii. p. 17 (1893). ? Eucoila rufiventris, Cam. Mem. Proc Manch. Lit. Phil. Soc. ii. p. 68 (1889). ? Eucoela insularis, D. T. Wien. ent. Zeit. xi. p. 132 (1892) ; Cat. Hym. ii. p. 18 (1893). Hab. Cuba, Trinidad, St. Vincent, and Grenada. This species was previously recognized, in both sexes, from St. Vincent, and now from three female specimens in the Grenada material, from Balthazar and Mount Gay Estate. I cannot separate the species from E. rufiventris, Cameron, described from Trinidad, and it is believed the above synonymy will be found correct. (8) EUCOELA ATRICEPS, sp. n. 2 • Length 1 mm. Head black; thorax and abdomen reddish brown or dark ferruginous ; 5 apical joints of antennae black, rest of antennae and legs brownish yellow. Antennae 13-jointed, as long as the body, the scape a little |
