the forms of Alypioides as representing one species, separable 

 thus: 



(A.) Secondaries above without spots . . . A. bimaculata H.-S., 1853 



(Mex. and New Mex.). 

 (B.) Secondaries above with one or more pale spots. 



(i.) With a single large spot or patch . . var. crescens Walk. 1856 



(New Mex. and Calif.). 

 (ii.) With two spots var. dugesiinov. (Mexico). 



The last mentioned may be more particularly described thus:- 

 A. bimaculata var. nov. dugesii. Length of body 17 mm., of anterior 

 wing 21 mm. Like crescens, but the light markings creamy white rather 

 than yellow; middle spot on primaries quadrate, and considerably larger 

 than in a specimen of bimaculata from Grant County, New Mex. Sec- 

 ondaries above with two large patches, one about the end of the cell, the 

 other nearer the inner margin; also a faint dot near the inner end of the 

 latter one, but apparently situated in the cell. Tongue orange as in the 

 other forms. 



Hab. Guanajuato, Mexico (Dr. A. Duges). One specimen, 

 in coll. Duges. Before venturing on the above remarks, I con- 

 sulted Mr. Dyar, who writes that he quite thinks I may be cor- 

 rect in regarding these forms as varieties of one; and adds that 

 he agrees that the Guanajuato form should have a name, though 

 as a variety. He further remarks, in confirmation of the view 

 taken, that a specimen of crescens in his collection has a trace of 

 the second spot in the form of a little diffuse yellow dot.

TWO NEW APANTELES. 



By CARL F. BAKER, Fort Collins, Col. 



Two new species of the genus Apanteles recently reared in the 

 Entomological Laboratory of the Colorado Agricultural College 

 seem to be of importance sufficient to warrant their publication. 



Apanteles ephestiae n. sp. 9- Length of body 3.6 mm., of antennae 2.6 

 mm., ovipositor 1.05 mm. Black, shining; antennae black, to deep brown at 

 tip; palpi rufous. Legs, except coxae, rufous, basal portions of anterior and 

 middle femora, all of posterior femora, tips of posterior tibiae and posterior 

 tarsi, darker; stigma and nervures bounding first submargmal cell out- 

 wardly, dark brown; teguUe yellowish brown. Head transverse, finely 

 punctured, with rather dense pubescence; face below antennae with a strong 

 median ridge; ocelli prominent and black; mesonotum finely, thickly punc- 

 tured, with an indication of a median carina posteriorly, and two oblique 

 slightly depressed areas behind converging towards the scutcllum; scutel-
