Aporus (Neoplaniceps) funestus new species
Holotype. — 9 , Martinique: Fort de France, 31 May 1944 (H. Stehle) [USNM, no. 67, 140]. Description of type female. — Length 10 mm.; fore wing 6.5 mm. Entirely black; pubescence rather coarse and silvery to cinereous on the lower front, clypeus, temples, pleura, and basal parts of legs, elsewhere brownish; fore wings moderately infuscaled, hind wings subhyaline, darker apically. Pilosity as described for chiapanus, but the abdomen has most of the setae rubbed off. Clypeus a very short, arcuate band as in chiapanus; mandibles not dentate below; antennae arising well below bottoms of eyes from the lower side of a strong, V-shaped frontal prominence. Head 1.05 X as wide as high; MID .69 X TFD, 1.20 X LID, .84 X HE; UID .92 X LID; POL: OOL=10:9. First four antennal segments in a ratio of about 23:6:13:14, segment three 2.1 X as long as wide, .40 X UID. Pronotum very long, the disc measuring approximately as long as wide, about twice as long as the mesoscutum; sides of disc very abrupt, almost ridged; disc with a weak median impression on the anterior third. Propodeum smooth, with a strong declivity on the posterior fourth. Front femora strongly swollen, about twice as long as their maximum width; longer spur of hind tibia .53 X as long as basitarsus; claws with the tooth strong, nearly parallel to outer ray, which is rather strongly curved. Wing venation similar to that of chiapanus; SMC2 shorter than in that species, only 1.6 X as wide as high, narrowed by more than half above; second recurrent vein received well beyond second intercubital vein; hind wing with the transverse median vein longer and more arched than in chiapanus, reaching the median vein basad of the origin of the cubitus by about half its own length.
