17,4 Gahan: Philippine Parasitic Hymenoptera 347 
Described from 3 males, received from Prof. Charles S. Banks, 
of the College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines; 
accession No. 18474; reared, June 24 to 27, 1918. 
Professor Banks states that the parasite cuts a large sickle- 
shaped opening in the top of the egg when emerging, and that 
the larva devours less than half of the contents of the egg. 
There is but one parasite to the egg. 
This species was reared from the same clutch of eggs as Apha- 
nurus banksi, described in this paper, and may be a parasite of 
the Aphanurus. 
ELASMIDA& 
Elasmus albomaculatus sp. nov. 
Female.—Length, 2.3 millimeters. Antennal scape slender, 
pedicel shorter than the first funicle joint; funicle joints sub- 
equal, cylindrical, the first very slightly the longest, third joint 
approximately twice as long as thick; club about as long as 
joints two and three of the funicle combined; vertex and frons 
with large scattered punctures; pronotum and mesoscutum rather 
strongly scaly-punctate, each puncture with a dark hair; scutel- 
lum very faintly reticulately sculptured, nearly smooth; meta- 
notum triangular, projecting posteriorly over the propodeum; 
propodeum faintly sculptured like the scutellum, without carine; 
pleura and hind coxz laterally finely lineolate; middle femora 
with a single long stiff bristle on the inner side at apex; hind 
tibiz posteriorly with rows of hairs arranged in distinct, dia- 
mond-shaped figures; hairs on basal joint of middle and hind tarsi 
in distinct rows; wings long and rather narrow, extending to 
apex of abdomen; abdomen somewhat longer than the head and 
the thorax combined. Head and mesoscutum dull blue-green; 
antennal flagellum brown, scape pale yellow; scutellum black, 
very slightly metallic; narrow line at base of tegulz, small mar- 
ginal spot on mesoscutum just above tegule and the triangular 
metanotum yellowish white, the latter with a hyaline border; 
propodeum dull bronze; rest of thorax, abdomen, all coxe and 
all femora, except anterior pair at apex, shining black. Apices 
of front femora and all tibiz whitish; tarsi mostly dark; hairs 
on legs black; wings hyaline. 
The species is very similar to #. elegans Crawford, but differs 
in having the abdomen and all coxe black, and in the presence 
of the white spot before the tegule. Differs from EF. philip- 
pinensis Ashmead in having much longer funicle joints, as well 
as in color.
