RECOGNITION. Lyroda subita resembles L. triloba in having a black gaster. Unlike that species, the propodeal side is at most inconspicuously ridged and has at least a short, rudimentary spiracular grove (Fig. 12), rather than with well-defined ridges and no spiracular grove. The female has three well defined teeth on each side of the clypeal lamella (Fig. 10), its wing membrane is mostly translucent except darkened in Floridian populations, the clypeal setae are silvery, and also silvery is the pubescence on the propodeum and the apical depressions of terga I-III (rather than the clypeal teeth inconspicuous, wing membrane dark, clypeal setae dark, and the pubescence of the propodeum and the gaster dark). In the male, the clypeal free margin has an obtuse, median projection (Fig. 11) rather than being rounded mesally. JUSTIFICATION OF NEW SYNONYMY. Genaro and Portuondo, 2001 differentiated Lyroda antillana from L. subita by a single character: a more intensely sculptured propodeal dorsum in the former species. We have examined a female paratype of L. antillana from the Dominican Republic as well as two males from that country, and were unable to detect any other difference. The presence of a spiracular groove on the propodeum is as in L. subita. We have also noticed that the sculpture of the propodeal dorsum varies significantly: it is inconspicuous in many specimens from the continental North America (Fig. 13), but almost as conspicuous in some specimens from Florida (Fig. 14) as in the Dominican paratype examined (Fig. 15). Based on these observations we conclude that Lyroda antillana in no more than a Caribbean population of L. subita, and we synonymize these two names. DESCRIPTION. Propodeal side at most with evanescent ridges, with spiracular groove that varies from short, inconspicuous to long, well defined. Clypeal setae silvery. Tergum I in vast majority of specimens with several smaller ridges in addition to pair of main basomedian carinae. Body black. Wings membrane mostly translucent except darkened in Floridian populations. ♀: Anterior margin of clypeus with three teeth on each side, truncate medially (Fig. 10). Gastral terga I-III with silvery pubescence on apical depressions. Length 10.0–13.0 mm. ♂: Free margin of clypeal lamella with obtuse prominence mesally (Fig. 11). Length 6.1–10.0 mm. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION (Fig. 16). North America from southern Canada south to Jalisco State in Mexico, also Cuba and the Dominican Republic. RECORDS.
