Bassus carpocapsae Gush. 



Since the writing of the description of this species, when only 

 the female was known, a single male has been reared by the 

 author from codling moth material collected in 1913 at Vienna, 

 Va. This differs from the female in having the testaceous color 

 of the head confined to the orbits, malar space, clypeus, and 

 mouth, being practically . obsolete on the anterior orbits; only 

 the second and third tergites are rufous and the latter is some- 

 what infuscated at the apex; the hind coxae are more largely black 

 and the hind femora infuscated. This male is in the National 

 Museum collection and is indicated by a red label marked: 

 c? Cush. det. 



THE GENUS SEGODELLA IN NORTH AMERICA. 



BY J. C. CRAWFORD. 



This eulophid genus which has the hairs of the fore wings in 

 part arranged in characteristic rows is also peculiar in having 

 the under side of the fore wings furnished with a row of long hairs 

 situated on the disc of the wing just back of the central portion 

 of the marginal vein. This latter character I have observed in 

 no other genus.
