ENTOMOLOGY. — Descriptions of new species of wasps with notes on 



described species. S. A. Rohwer. Proceedings U. S. National 



Museum. 40: 551-587. 1911. 



Forty-five new species and five new sub-species or varieties. One 



new genus, Gonostigmus, is described, and the type species is indicated 



for several other genera. Much of the material came from the Western 



States or Central America. N. Banks. 



ENTOMOLOGY. Descriptions of six new genera and thirty-one new 

 species of Ichneumon Hies. H. L. Viereck. Proceedings U. S. 

 National Museum, 40: 173-196. 1911. 



Most of the new species are from the United States, but several are 

 from Portuguese East Africa, a few from South America, Japan, and the 

 Hawaiian Islands. 



New generic names are Cryptoxilos, near Peristenus; Dolichozele, 

 near Zele; Platyspathius near Spathius, Polystenidea near Hecabolus, 

 and Stenopleura near Protapanteles. New subgeneric names are Doli- 

 chogenidea, subgenus of Apanteles; and Daiotes and Mastrus, subgenera 

 of Phygadeuon; these last two are stated to be "genera" but only used 

 in a subgeneric sense. One or two more of Foester's names are perhaps, 

 for the first time, connected with species. N. Banks. 



ENTOMOLOGY. — New species of reared Ichneumon flies. H. L. 

 Viereck. Proceedings U. S. National Museum, 39 : 401-108. 1911. 

 Descriptions of eleven new species are given and, apparently, no new 

 generic names; nearly all were bred from insects of economic value.

ENTOMOLOGY. — Descriptions of one new genus and eight new species 

 of Ichneumon flies. H. L. Viereck. Proceedings U. S. National 

 Museum, 40: 475-480. 1911. 

 The new generic name, Cyanopteridea, is for Cyanopterus Szepligeti 



(not Haliday). Parapahteles Ashm. is made a synonym of Apanteles. 



Several of the species have been bred in connection with the work on 



the Gipsy moth. N. Banks.
