wide, the sixth one and a half times as long as broad ; club distinctly 3-segmented, a little longer than the two preceding joints together, slightly tapering at apex ; stigmal vein but a little shorter than the marginal ; abdomen shorter than the thorax and broadly rounded distally. In other respects as the female. Length:: 1.45 mm. Described from 6 female and one male specimen. Nominated to honour my late teacher, L. Biró. Hungary. Holotype : Szigetszentmiklós, 25. VII. 1912 (leg. Biró) Allotype : Vác : Tudósdomb, 14. VII. 1929 (leg. Biró). Paratypes: Vác: Tudósdomb, 14. VII. 1929, 21. VII. 1929, 20. VIII. 1929, 8. IX. 1929, Sződ, 19. VIII. 1918, Budapest (Rózsadomb), 17. VIII. 1929 (leg. Biró) Closely related to H. bicolor Erd., from which it differs by the sharp margin of the pronotum, the depressed mesoscutum and scutellum, the more slender legs (femora) and the longer funicle joints. Host unknown. Type and paratypes in the Hung. Nat. Hist. Museum Homoporus cephalotes sp. n. Female. Black, with faint bluish tint, antennae yellow, scape and proximal two thirds of the pedicel black, funicle somewhat infuscated ; legs yellow, coxae black, proximal half of the femora blackish, tegulae light brown ; abdomen yellowish brown with the margins infuscated at the base and along the sides. Head thick, broader than the thorax (1 : 1,2), a little less than twice as wide as long (1 : 1,8), a little widened behind the eyes ; vertex long, the hind ocelli twice as far from the hind margin of the vertex as from the eye margin. Temples (seeing from above) a little longer than half the diameter of the eyes ; antennae inserted nearly in the middle of the face, somewhat above the lower eye line ; scape cylindrical, a little longer than the pedicel, two ring joints and funicle 1 and 2 together ; funicle 1 subequal to the pedicel, both twice as long as wide ; funicle joints lengthened and subequal, the sixth joint yet one and a half times as long as wide, club delicately segmented, a little longer than the two preceding joints together, its third joint small, tapering at apex ; cheeks longer than half the length of the eyes. Thorax nearly twice as long as broad (1 : 1,7), pronotum a third the length of the mesoscutum, rounded above, somewhat abruptly declining anteriorly ; mesoscutum transverse, parapsidal furrows slightly indicated anteriorly, scutellum about as long as wide, strongly convex, as the mesoscutum. Head and thorax sharply reticulated (this sculpture tends on the scutellum to present a dense punctuation, the mesîies becoming more close, especially in the middle) ; propodeum with a sculpture similar to that of the scutellum ; median carina, plicae and spiracular sulci absent ; neck very short, about a third the length of the propodeum, lateral angles nearly smooth ; spiracles lengthened. Legs slender. Wings hyaline, reaching the tip of the abdomen, bare at the proximal third ; discal ciliae blackish, marginal ciliae shorter than third the length of the stigmalis ; basal vein represented by a row of bristles. Relative length of subcostalis, marginális, stigmalis and postmarginalis as 3,7 : 2,2 : 1 : 2,2. Abdomen about as long as the thorax and a little broader, broadly pointed at apex, the tergites subequal in length. Length : 2.66 mm.
