Crambus faunellus Schaus, new species. 



"Fore wing straw yellow, shaded slightly with brown towards inner 

 margin; veins faintly bordered with brown on each side; a brown discal 

 dot, one below on vein 2 and a slight one at anal angle. A row of 

 terminal black dots between the veins. Hind wings slightly shaded with 

 brown except along costa; fringe pale on both wings. Expanse, 31 mm. 



Sao Paulo, Brazil." Schaus, MS. 



Type, No. 13625, U. S. National Museum. 



The front is smooth, antennae of the male slightly thickened 

 and flattened, fore wing with vein 7 given off further from 

 the apex than 9, n curved and approximated to 12, 4 and 5 

 stalked. This brings it in the group with distictellus Hamp- 

 son, than which it is much larger and has a terminal row of 

 black dots on fore wing. I mention this species here because 

 the females were included under Diatraea lineolata in the col- 

 lection, to which they bear a strong superficial resemblance. 

 They differ from the male only in having the wing slightly 

 more pointed, the linings along the veins a little more distinct, 

 while the spots are less distinct, and the hind wings are paler, 

 being a slightly soiled white. 



A Supposed Occurrence of Anagrus incarnatus Hali- 



day in the United States (Hym.)- 



BY A. A. GIRAULT Urbana, Illinois. 



Sometime during 1909 I received from Professor C. P. Gil- 

 lette, of the Colorado Agricultural College, a slide bearing 

 single specimens of both sexes of a species of Anagnis Hali- 

 day, with the request that I identify it if possible. The slide 

 was labelled "probably from eggs of Aphis pomi." Soon af- 

 ter its receipt I examined the specimens and decided that they 

 could not be separated from Anagnis incarnatus Haliday, 

 specimens of which I have as a loan through the ready kind- 

 ness of Dr. L. O. Howard. Subsequently, however, a more 

 careful comparison showed differences of such character as to 

 preclude the sameness of the two sets of specimens and the 

 Colorado specimens are therefore representatives of an unde- 

 scribed species. At the present time Mymarids of the Euro-
