ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [July, '09 



The pupa, Fig. 4, is 22 mm. long, chestnut-brown in color, 

 being lighter towards the anterior end. 



Fig. 4 is the ventral view of the pupa and the location of 

 the two pairs of spurs. Fig. 5 is a view looking at the pos- 

 terior end of the pupa. Fig. 6 is a section taken just below 

 the centre of the pupa and gives the position of the spurlike 

 appendages around the pupa-case. 



After lying in the pupa state until April 25, 1908, the pupa 

 worked its way to the surface during the night and about half 

 its length protruded. 



The next morning (April 26, 1908) the imago appeared. 



The other larva found with this one described was slightly 

 smaller and black from the head to a little above the middle 

 of the body. Otherwise like the above. These are the two 

 specimens mentioned in ENT. NEWS Vol. xx, page 134. 



Descriptions of New Hymenoptera. 



BY H. L. VIERECK. 



Helorimorpha fisher i n. sp. 



9- Compared with the description of melandcri* this species differs 

 as follows : Head including the scape concolorous with the thorax ex- 

 cepting the space between the ocelli and the border around the latter 

 and the eyes, all of which are more or less black, pedicel brownish, 

 flagel black, ocelli not bordered by a raised line, maxillary palpi 

 five-jointed; thorax more or less reticulated all over, tips of posterior 

 tibae and their tarsi dark-brownish, wings smoky, the stigma and veins 

 concolorous dark-brown, almost blackish ; the transverse median vein 

 of the front wings failing to join the sub-median vein on account 

 of a hyaline streak, the latter vein near its middle with a brown streak 

 perpendicular to it and extending to the posterior margin of the wing; 

 apical half of abdominal petiole parallel sided and inserted into the 

 second dorsal abdominal segment into what seems to be a quadrate 

 socket, the petiole apparently perfectly smooth and polished above. 



$ . Essentially the same as the 9 , but lacking the brown streak in 

 the anal cell.
