large ring joint, 2 longest, somewhat longer than wide, 3 quadrate, 

 longer than i, the others wider than long. The pedicel is somewhat 

 longer and the sculpture of the body is finer than with the Australian 

 species. 



Described from one female in the U. S. N. M., from Onaga, 

 Kansas (Crevecoeur). 



Type: Catalogue No. 20135, U. S. N. M., the thorax on a 

 tag; rest of the body on a slide (including wings) with a

 tember, A. P. Dodd). 



(Eupelmus) Aphidencyrtus schizoneurae (Ashmead). 



The tibiae are dark, the mandibles as in aphidiphagus, that is, the 

 third tooth truncate. The type female is in bad condition, without 

 wings. The frons is wider than usual. 



Holcencyrtus physokermis new species. 



9. Length, i.io mm. Dark metallic green, the wings hyaline, the 

 venation dusky, the blade of the wing very slightly infuscated distad 

 and caudad of the marginal vein ; knees, tarsi and apex of the tibiae 

 pale, middle tibiae more broadly pale at tip, distal tarsal joint dusky. 



Pedicel somewhat longer than wide at the apex, subequal in length 

 to joints I and 2 of the funicle which are subquadrate ; funicle 6 no 

 longer than i yet somewhat wider; club two-thirds the length of the 

 funicle and somewhat wider, its joints larger than those of the funicle. 



Head and thorax densely scaly, the vertex, scutum, axillae and 

 scutellum with scattered minute setigerous punctures which are not 

 dense yet rather numerous. Axillae slightly separated. Mandibles of 

 tolerable length, their teeth short, equal, the first two acute, the third 

 obtuse but not broad. Head (cephalic aspect) quadrate, the frons

Marginal vein quadrate or a little longer than wide, thick, the post- 

 marginal and stigmal veins subequal, a half or more longer than the 

 marginal. Hairless line not closed caudad, with six or more lines of 

 cilia proximad of it (these cilia enclosing proximad a triangular naked 

 space). Costal cell broad (with four or five lines of discal cilia). Fore 

 wings ample, densely, finely ciliate. 



Ovipositor inserted distad of middle, the abdomen from its insertion, 

 obliquely truncate. 



Proximal tarsal joints not long (longest in the middle legs, shortest 

 in the cephalic ones). 



$ . The same but the marginal vein is over twice longer than wide, 

 somewhat longer than the postmarginal or stigmal; cephalic and middle
