distinct. Evania marginata is fey far the most distinct, and from 

 Cameron's descriptions and figures worthy of generic rank. So we will 

 call it the type of Fseudevania, while trochanterata falls back into 

 Eva7iia. 



In Kieffer's "Evaniidae" of Wytsman's Genera Insectorum, p. 2 and 

 elsewhere, I would call attention lest someone should not understand him, 

 that by " Ashmead, State Board of Agric, U. S. A., Catal. Ins.," he 

 means Smith's list of the insects of New Jersey. P. 5. Brachygaster 

 floridanus, Johnsoni, and Weithi, Ashmead, should be listed under genus 

 Hyptia, as Dr. Ashmead placed them in their original descriptions. P. 6. 

 The absurdity of erecting Foeninse as a sub-family on the genus 

 Gasteruptioti is evident. It should be Gasteruptionina. Kieffer over- 

 looks Ashmead's " Classification of the Ichneumonoidea," Proc. U. S- 

 Nat. Mus., 1901, in which this sub-family had already be recognized. 



In Dr. Ashmead's " New Species of Evaniidse," Can. Ent, 1901, p. 

 303, Hyptia Jo/mso?n should have the locality Jamaica, instead of 

 Philadelphia. 



EvANiELLA, n. gen. 



Evania Neomexicana and E. Cali/orfiica, p. 304, belong to a new 

 genus, which I shall shortly describe under the name Evaniella. Here 

 also belongs and stands as type the species which Dr. Ashmead (p. 304) 

 calls unicolor, Say, but is not that species. Say's description applies to 

 E. appendigaster, which could easily have spread into the interior with 

 the early settlers, inasmuch as it is parasitic on cockroaches. 



Hypolaepus Viereckii, Bradley, Can. Ent. 35, p. 47, Dr. Mac- 

 Gillivray kindly points out to me is synomymous with Pteronus ventralis. 

 Say. It is identical in characters with Hypolaepus, to which it would run 

 in Dr. Ashmead's tables. The value of the characters is doubtful. 



The following typographical errors occur in an article by the writer 

 on \\\QGtr\u?, Flatylabus in Can. Ent. 35, p. 275: Page 277, under 

 heading I, paragraph beginning " Metallic blue " should be co-ordinate 

 with the first, and should end with a reference to (4). " 4. Abdomen 

 more or less rufous " should have after it a reference to (6). Page 279, 

 " Liizerfie?iis, n. sp.," should read ''■ Luzernensis, n. sp."
