Allorhogas gallicola, new species. 



Female Length 4 mm. Antennas 30-jointed, the flagellum black- 

 ish brown, darkest apically, the basal joints and scape somewhat tes- 

 taceous. Face more distinctly pilose than the rest of the head, its 

 sculpture, except on the median line which is nearly smooth, slightly 

 coarser and more distinctly punctate than the vertex; mouth opening 

 rather small; eyes, mandibles at the apex, and spot enclosed by the 

 ocelli black; remainder of head, thorax, and abdomen brownish-testa- 

 ceous; the metathorax and propodium slightly darker than the rest of 

 the body; scutellum small, separated from the mesoscutum by a deep, 

 wide furrow which is broken by several transverse ridges; carinas of 

 the propodium with numerous short transverse striae radiating from 

 them. Palpi and legs slightly paler than the body, the hind tibiae 

 brownish and the apical joint of all tarsi brown. Wings hyaline; 

 tegulas and veins at base yellowish; stigma and veins outwardly 

 brownish. Apical half of third abdominal segment and base of the 

 fourth faintly lineolate, others smooth; ovipositor blackish. 



Male. Similar to the female in every respect except that the pro- 

 podium is slightly more rugose and somewhat darker than in the 

 female and the antennas are 28-jointed. 



Type: No. 14358, U. S. National Museum. 



Described from a single female reared May 20, 1911, and 

 two males reared April 27 and May 18, 1911, respectively, at 

 College Park, Maryland, from cynipid twig-galls on Quercus 

 pinifolia. From these same galls were reared specimens of 

 Synanthedon scitula Harris, and it is reasonable to suppose 

 that the braconid is parasitic on that moth. In the National 

 Museum are two specimens, apparently the same species, 

 bearing the number 2610^- Ft. Grant, Arizona. The record 

 to which this number refers shows that the specimens were 

 bred from twig-galls of oak from the above-mentioned locality, 

 and is interesting as indicating a wide distribution for the 

 species.

DACNUSIN^E. 



Synaldis incisa, new species. 



Female. Length 2 mm. Black; smooth and shining. Antennas 

 submoniliform, brownish-testaceous, darker toward the apex; first 

 flagellar longer and more slender than the second, the second not 

 twice as long as thick, following joints shortening and narrowing grad- 

 ually toward the apex, about one and one-half times as long as wide, 

 the joints toward the apex slightly pedicellate. Head smooth and 

 shining; face somewhat pilose, with a faint median carina between
