Body densely scaly, the scutellum with a seta on each side before 

 apex, the propodeum only with a delicate carina laterad of the spiracle. 

 Parapsidal furrows complete but sutured cephalad only. 



One female, Glenndale, Maryland, from the woods, June 

 24, 1916. 



-Type : Catalogue No. 20356, U. S. N. M., the female on a 

 tag, a wing, caudal tibia and the head on a slide. 



Achrysocharis divina new species. 



Female : Length, 0.75 mm. Differs from the genotype in having the 

 scape moderately convexly dilated ventrad, plainly compressed. 



Metallic green and densely scaly punctate; legs and antennae white 

 except the coxae, middle femur at base, middle tibia just below the 

 knee, caudal femora and tibiae, pedicel except at apex beneath, funicle 

 i, apex of funicle 2, clubs 2 and 3, and the blotched scape which is 

 metallic at proximal third of ventral margin and at distal third (or the 

 apex broadly). Head pale yellow excepting the occiput (except nar- 

 rowly across at vertex), a broken metallic line across face just above 

 the antennae and a second convexed and broken line through the an- 

 tennae ; also a more or less distinct spot near the eye on upper face, 

 minute setae (few) of vertex from dusky dots. 



Fore wings distinctly bifasciate, the first fascia from the apex of 

 the marginal vein along the mesal side of the stigmal, flat-bow-shaped 

 and fading toward the caudal margin, the second nearly straight but 

 with wavy margins, across near apex (at middle, about its own width 

 from apex). Marginal fringes of fore wing between a fifth and a 

 sixth of the greatest wing width, the stigmal vein slightly longer than 

 the postmarginal. 



Cheeks moderately long, the mandibles 4-dentate. Flagellum clothed 

 with scraggy hairs ; funicle i a little longer than the oval pedicel, sub- 

 equal to 2, the club joints a little more slender, the terminal nipple dis- 

 tinct, not as long as the joint bearing it. Parapsidal furrows distinct, 

 complete. 



One female, June 14, 1916, from a field of weeds, Prince 

 George County, Maryland.

Nearly related to Apterolaelaps Girault but differs as fol-

 antennae, the carina separating the scrobes is at ventral third
