(17) Cratotechus smerinthi, n. sp. 



9- Length 2.5 mm. Head, mesopleura and abdomen cupreous; 

 thorax blue-green, the pronotum above blue; scape, tegulae and legs, 

 except the hind coxae, waxy-white : flagellum brown, paler beneath. 

 Wings hyaline, the marginal, stigmal and postmarginal veins light 

 bro \v n . 



r^. Length 2 mm. More uniformly bluish-green, the depressed frons 

 alone bright cupreous; abdomen aeneous-black; first, second and third 

 joints of flagellum with a long branch; otherwise, except that the middle 

 coxae are metallic at base, it agrees with the female. 



Hab. Canobie Lake, N. H. (Bred from larva of Sinerinthus excceca- 

 tus. ) 



(iS) Eulophus incongruus, n. sp. 



9- Length 1.5 to i.S mm. ^neous-black, scaly punctate, with 

 purplish metallic reflections in certain lights ; scape, flagellum beneath, 

 trochanters, tips of femora, and all tibias and tarsi, except the last joint, 

 yellowish- white. Wings hyaline, the veins light brown, the marginal vein 

 more than three times as long as the stigmal, the postmarginal nearly 

 twice as long as the stigmal. 



Head transverse, wider than the thorax, with a deep, broad frontal ex 

 cavation, clothed with sparse, short hairs: viewed from in front the head 

 is wider than long, the space between the eyes alone being as wide as the 

 head is long; the anterior ocellus is on or at the extreme edge of the 

 frontal excavation: antennae 8-jointed, inserted below the middle of the 

 face, on an imaginary line drawn from the base of the eyes ; the scape is 

 a little longer than half the length of the flagellum, including the pedicel, 

 and does not quite reach to the front ocellus ; flagellum slightly thickened 

 towards the tip, the pedicel a little shorter than the first joint of the fla 

 gellum ; joints 2-4 of funicle about equal in length but widening, joints 3 

 and 4 being a little wider than long; club cone-shaped. 2-jointed. 



Thorax clothed with long, sparse hairs; no parapsidal furrows, the 

 mesonotum slightly depressed in front of the scutellum ; scutellum rather 

 large, subconvex, the axillse widely separated, each bearing a long black 

 bristle at inner apical angle; metathorax not short, with a median carinu 

 and broad spiracular sulci, the spiracles rounded. Abdomen oval, de 

 pressed, not longer than the thorax, the segments subequal. 



(-p. Length 1.2 mm. Agrees well with the female, except in its 

 smaller size and in having joints i to 3 of flagellum furnished with a long % 

 pilose branch. 



Hab. Cambridge, Mass. (Bred from the larva of Tkyreus abbotii.} 



The species is undoubtedly a hyperparasite on one of the pri 

 mary parasites reared by Dr. Dimmock from this moth. It is 

 placed in the genus Eitlophus only temporarily.
