19A); the antenncT are 6-scgnicn(ccl, rather short and stout; there are no dorsal 

 spines. 



Material examined. Part of the type material. 



Corrections to Earlier Papers. 



In my description of Stomacocciis platani (2) the caption for Fig. 38B has 

 been omitted. This is the antenna of the prepupa of the male. On page 376 

 it is stated that the antenna of the prepupa of the male are 8-segmented, while 

 the figure shows 9 segments. The figure is correct. 



In the fedescription of Cryptokermes hrasiliensis Hempel (3), the second 

 line on page 222 reads in part, "posterior portion of anal ring." This should 

 read, "posterior portion of alimentary canal." 



*THREE NEW SPECIES OF BRACONID^. 



BY C. F. W. MUESEBECK, ITHACA, N.Y. 



Apanteles phigaliae, n. sp. 



Female. — Length 2.2 mm. Black, shining. Head transverse, broad; 

 mandibles reddish brown ; palpi yelfowish ; face slightly convex, mediali'y punctate, 

 and with a distinct median ridge originating between the antennae; antennae 

 black. Mesoscutum closely punctate; scutellum distinctly but shallowly 

 punctate, slightly convex; both mesoscutum and scutellum shining. Meso- 

 pleura punctate cephalad and ventrad, and with a large, shallow, perfectly 

 smooth and highly-polished area posteriorly, which does not possess the crenulate 

 fovea common to many species of the genus. Propodeum smooth and shining, 

 with a number of short radiating striulae extending upward from the middle of 

 the posterior margin; no median carina nor median fovea present. 



Wings. — Tegulae and wing-bases black; veins and stigma brown; radius 

 and transverse cubitus meeting in a sharp angle, with a distinct heel at the 

 point of union, the two veins about equal in length. Legs. — All coxc-e black, 

 the posterior rather smooth, above with a basal elongate-oval flattened shining 

 area, which has a few scattered punctures; all trochanters dusky; fore and 

 middle femora somewhat dusky at extreme base, the hind femora dusky at 

 extreme base and apex and along the upper edge, the hind tibia; dusky at apex, 

 and the hind tarsi, except on the basal two-thirds of the basal segment, entirely 

 dusky. 



Abdomen black and shining, moderately broad; first tergite almost twice 

 as long as broad at base, parallel-sided, and rounded off very strongly at apex 

 so that apex is much narrower than base, almost entirely smooth and polished, 

 only the extreme apex being weakly punctate; plate of second dorsal segment 

 triangular, very narrow at base, and three times as broad as apex as at base, 

 three-fourths as long down the middle as broad at apex, and very slightly, or 

 not at all, shorter than the third plate; the basal middle of this plate is smooth 

 and polished, while the apical margin and the apical angles are finely rugulose. 

 The membranous margins along the apical half of the first tergite and all of the 

 second are fuscous, and exceedingly broad along the second plate, the mem-
