142 PROCEEDINGS ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



Male: Length 4 mm. Antennae 26-jointed. Differs from the female in 

 having the face below the antennas, the inner margins of the eyes to the 

 level of the anterior ocellus, cheeks, two spots on the scutum, small lateral 

 spot on the first and third tergites, yellow; the third antenna! joint is slightly 

 shorter than the fourth. 



Falls Church, Virginia. Described from three females, one 

 type, and one male, allotype, recorded under Bureau of Ento- 

 mology Number Hopk. U. S. 11133e and /, which refer to notes 

 stating that these are primary parasites on Mnemonica auricyanea 

 Walsingham, feeding on chestnut and oak. Material collected 

 and reared (March 7, 1914) by Carl Heinrich. 



Type: Cat. No. 18316, U. S. N. M. 



The material was collected in the larval condition and kept 

 in the rearing cages so oviposition must occur within the feeding 

 larva, or the egg. 



The parasite is referred to the genus Sympherta but the type 

 of this genus is not available for comparison, and it is not unlikely 

 that when the genera belonging to this group are more properly 

 classified the above new species will be referred to a new genus. 



Podogaster evetrivorus n. sp. 



Female: Length 7.5 mm. Head below the antenn.se shining, with only 

 setigerous punctures, above the antennae shining, but with distinct well 

 denned, well separated punctures; postocellar line twice as long as the 

 ocellocular line; occiput deeply emarginate, strongly margined; mesoscutum 

 with distinct, well defined punctures which in the region of the notauli 

 become confluent; in the posterior middle the punctures are closer; scutellurn 

 sculptured similarly to the scutum; propodeum with a median row of hexa- 

 gonal fovese which become smaller posteriorly, laterally coarsely reticulate; 

 abdomen shining, impunctate. Black; head below the antennse and the 

 orbits to the vertex, posterior orbits broadly, scape beneath, dorsal posterior 

 angles of the pronotum, tegulse, four anterior legs (femora and tibiae 

 reddish) yellow; abdomen piceous and the third and fourth segments rufous; 

 posterior legs black with the base of the tibiae and the second trochanter 

 yellow; wings hyaline, venation dark brown. 



Male: Length 8 mm. Agrees with the above characters of the female. 



Fort Bayard, New Mexico. Described from one female, type, 

 one male allotype and three female paratypes recorded under 

 Bureau of Entomology Number Hopk. U. S. 12101c which refers to 

 a note stating that this is a parasite of Evetria species working in 

 Pinus ponderosa, material reared by Carl Heinrich, adults emerging 

 November and December.
