THE INSECTS OF NEW JERSEY. 637 



HYPTIS Illiger. 

 H. reticulata Say. Caldwell (Cr). 



EVANIA Fab. 



E. appendigaster Linn. A cosmopolitan species, parasitic in egg cap- 

 sules of roaches, which I have found at Newark and New Brunswick. 



E. Isevigata Oliv. A parasite on the oriental roach or black beetle, and 

 also probably found in New Jersey. 



PRISTAULACUS Kieff. 



P. stigmaterus Cress. (Aulacus) New Jersey is the type locality. 

 P. subfirmus Vier. Riverton VII, 17 (Jn) the type locality. 

 P. fasciatus Say. DaCosta VII, 19 (W). 



PAMMEGISCHIA Prov. 



P. lovei Ashm. Palisades V (Lv) the type locality. 



P. pallipes Cress. (Aulacus) New York (Ashm) and probably New Jer- 

 sey. 

 P. burquei Prov. Reared from "Xiphidria abdominalis." 



Super-family CHALCIDOIDEA. 



A large number of the parasitic "Hymenoptera" are referable to this 

 series, and they are usually rather stout, with broad head, elbowed an- 

 tennae and frequently metallic colors. The wings have few or no veins, 

 are often clothed with short hairs and are occasionally wanting in one 

 sex or both. The ovipositor is more or less concealed, and usually issues 

 from the underside of the abdomen before the tip. 



A small number of species are plant-feeders, and some of these, like 

 the "joint-worms," are occasionally injurious. More of them are hyper- 

 parasites upon species that are themselves parasitic, and these act as 

 checks to the increase of the primary parasites. 



Family MYMARID^E. 



ANAPHES Halid. 



A. gracilis How. Parasitic on the common oyster-shell scale. 

 A. conotracheli Girault. Bred from eggs of the plum curculio. 



POLYNEMA Halid.

 P. oecanthi Ashm. New Jersey (Ashm) ; a mss. name.
