The following brief and incomplete notes are presented here in order to call attention to two seed-infesting chalcid wasps in the hope that they will be studied further by other workers as the opportunity occurs. Both are of much economic importance but the damage occasioned by them has heretofore been completely overlooked. Although our knowledge of the distribution of these species is extremely limited, they undoubtedly will prove to be present on most of the islands of the West Indies and, possibly, wherever their host plants occur.
