Eupteromalus sarcophagae Gahan. 



In the Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society vol. 12, 

 1917, p. US, Mr. A. A. Girault asserts that this species differs 

 "not at all" from Meraporus dubius Ashmead. 



Types of both species are in the U. S. National Museum and 

 have been compared with the following results : 



The postocellar line practically equal to the ocellocular line; malar groove 

 absent; face below the antennae when viewed in profile convexly rounded, 

 distinctly receding, vertex broad, not sharply sloping behind the ocelli; 

 viewed from in front the vertex is very slightly arched above the eyes, 

 the irons deeply, closely sculptured especially in the frontal depression 

 and thare are no transverse aciculations on the face. below the antennae; 

 the scutellum is convex, or at least not conspicuously flattened, and its 

 apical margin is more weakly sculptured than the remainder 



sarcophagae Gahan 



Postocellar line distinctly though not a great deal longer than the ocellocular 

 line; malar groove present; face below antennae not so convexly rounded 

 and less receding, vertex not so broad and more sharply sloping behind 

 ocelli; viewed from in front the vertex is more strongly arched above the 

 eyes, the frons is very slightly less deeply punctate and immediately 

 below the base of the antennae are two or three short, very fine, weak, 

 transverse, wrinkles or rugae; the scutellum is distinctly flattened with a 

 narrow transverse apical margin very distinctly more coarsely punctate 

 than the rest of the scutellum dubius Ashmead 



The two species are undoubtedly congeneric and closely related, 

 but are sufficiently distinct to be recognized as different species, 

 at least until additional material and rearing data establish their 

 identity.
