BY H. L. VIERECK. 



Inasmuch as the third edition of the New Jersey List of In- 

 sects is shortly to go to press, the following- names are pro- 

 posed now, in order that they may be included in that paper. 



Apanteles (Foerst) Ashm. 



Type Microgaster obscurus Nees. 



Agrees with the diagnosis given below for Parapanteles , 

 except that the exserted portion of ovipositor is more than 

 half as long as the abdomen, or at least conspicuously exserted. 

 Urogaster Ashm. , being- congeneric with Apanteles^.s.} , must 

 be placed in the synonomy with this genus. 



Apanteles (s. s.) forbesi, new species. 



1900. Urogaster forbesii Ashm. MS. in Smith's Insects of New- 

 Jersey (1899). 



Female. 3.5 mm. long ; face without a tubercle or carina, ocular 

 distance about as great as the occipito-clypeal distance, malar space 

 distinct, shortest distance from eye to mandible nearly one-half the 

 length of first joint of flagel ; areola with a petiolarea behind it or 

 merely with a transverse ridge a little above its middle, basal area 

 with a median longitudinal ridge, basal area ill-defined ; first dorsal 

 abdominal segment with its rugose plate at least twice as long as wide 

 at apex and nearly parallel sided, the sides converging somewhat be- 

 yond the middle, posterior half of this segment with most of its middle 

 third occupied by a shallow ovoid depression in which there are rugae, 

 black portion of second dorsal segment forming a segment of a 

 circle, four to five times as wide at apex as long down the middle, its 

 edges rather rugulose, third dorsal segment apparently twice as broad at 

 base as long down the middle, rugulose along the basal margin, its 

 surface otherwise shining and distinctly sparsely pitted ; exserted 

 portion of ovipositor nearly one and one-half times as long as first 

 joint of posterior tarsi; mostly black, tegulae and most of anterior 

 and middle legs translucent yellowish, their coxae black, hind legs 

 with black coxa?, reddish femora and trochanters, their tibiae and 

 tarsi yellowish to brownish and more or less infuscated without con-
