usual and the caudad coxae were more yellowish than with the 

 average specimen of the species. 



2. Polynema regina, new species. 



Position normal. 



Female. Length, 0.90 mm. ; moderately small for the genus. Gen- 

 eral color black; legs, petiole of abdomen, antennal scape, and pedicel 

 intense orange yellow, the former tinged with dusky only in places 

 the cephalic femora at proximal third and all tibiae slightly along their 

 middles exteriorly; distal tarsal joint, however, black; first four funicle 

 joints of antennas diluted with yellowish. Wings hyaline.' 



Another species falling within the group of allied species 

 containing consobrinus Girault, aspidioti Girault, striaticorne 

 Girault, howardii Ashmead, euchariforme Haliday, and brit- 

 tanum Girault, but resembling more nearly the first. 



It differs from it as follows: In the nearly uniformly intense 

 yellowish legs, antennal scape and pedicel, and abdominal 

 petiole; then in the shape and ciliation of the fore wings the 

 discal ciliation is somewhat coarser, the individual cilia some- 

 what longer, but there are about the same number of longi- 

 tudinal lines; the marginal cilia are distinctly longer at all 

 margins, the longest (caudo-distad) about three-fourths the 

 wing's greatest width; those at the apex of the wing are 

 nearly as long as the longest cilia of the fore wing in conso- 

 brinus; the longe'st are twice the length of the longest cilia of 

 the caudal wing, which is not true for consobriiins, where the 

 the two sets of cilia are more nearly equal. The proximal 

 tarsal joints are somewhat longer in regina. Otherwise 

 about the same. 



Male- Unknown. 



Described from a single female specimen captured with the 

 species recorded above. 



Habitat: Canada Vancouver, British Columbia. 



Type: No. 14512, U. S. National Museum, Washington, 

 D. C., one female in xylol balsam (mounted on a slide with 

 a specimen of striaticorne and a proctotrypoid). 



A species characterized by the intense orange-yellow legs, 

 the short proximal funicle joint of the antennae (distinguish- 

 ing it from such species &s psecas Girault and cnockii Girault) 

 and the shape and ciliation of the fore wings. It should also 

 be compared with the species like maculipes Ashmead, zetcs 

 Girault, and longipcs Ashmead.
