OF WASHINGTON. 169 



one-third as long as the third, the fifth half the length of fourth, the fol 

 lowing retracted, the ovipositor as long as the basal joint of hind tarsi ; 

 the longer spur of hind tibia only half as long as the basal joint of tarsus. 

 Hab. Canobie Lake, N. H. (Bred from a puparium of a Tachinid fly 

 which is parasitic on an unknown Tortricid larva.) 



This species comes nearest to Mesochorus basilis Cr. 



(53) Neoeryma lophyri, n. sp. (Neoeryma n. n. for Eryma Forst. pre 

 occupied.) 



9- Length 7 mm. Black, finely microscopically punctate; face 

 below antennae produced into two points towards base of each antenna, 

 the clypeus, mandibles, short space below mandibles and eyes, palpi, 

 tegulae, a point before and a short line beneath scutellums, basal half of 

 posterior tibiae and apical margins of abdominal segments (very narrow 

 on the short terminal segment), white; legs red, middle tarsi, extreme 

 tips of hind femora, apical half of their tibiae and their tarsi black; wings 

 hyaline, the stigma and nervures black. 



$. Agrees well with female except the propectus and anterior coxae and 

 trochanters are white ; the mesopectus is rufous and connected with a 

 white longitudinal band on the lower part of the pleura which extends 

 forward at a slight elevation and terminates before attaining the thorax, 

 thus leaving a black triangular space between it and the fore part of the 

 rufous mesopectus. 



Hab. Canobie Lake, N. H. (Bred from saw-fly larva, Lopkyrus. sp.) 



(54) Sychnoportus rufopectus, n. sp. 



C^. Length 5 mm. Black, shining; head below ocelli opaque, meta- 

 thorax opaque ; mesopectus obscure rufous ; mandibles, palpi, tegulse, ante 

 rior coxae and trochanters, second joint of hind trochanters, basal two- 

 thirds of hind tibiae, except a spot toward base outwardly, and extreme 

 apical edges of abdominal segments 4-7, white, rest of legs rufous; wings 

 hyaline, the stigma and nervure black, the areolet wanting; metathorax 

 areolated ; abdominal segments 1-3 shagreened. 



Hab. Canobie Lake, N. H. (Bred from an unknown Tenthredinid 

 larva.) 



(57) Phceogenes phycidis, n. sp. 



9- Length 9 mm. Rufo-ferruginous ; scape and pedicel above, fla- 

 gellar joints 1-6 and 13-25, tips of hind femora, tips of their tibiae and 

 extreme apex of abdomen, black; flagellar joints 7-12, the tegulae and a 

 spot beneath, yellowish-white; head above, face and thorax minutely, 

 sparsely punctate; metathorax completely areolated, the areas finely 

 transversely rugulose; abdomen polished, the segments at the most very 

 indistinctly and sparsely microscopically punctate, the petiole above 

 towards apex perfectly smooth, impunctate, the gastrocoeli transversely 

 shallowly defined, the surface from them to the base very finely aciculated. 



Head large, quadrate; flagellar joints 1-3 subequal, scarcely three times
