BY WILLIAM H. ASHMEAD, WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The two new hymenopterous parasites described below were bred by 

 Dr. Har-rison G. Dyar, from the larva and cocoons of Eupoeya Slossonice. 



Pelecystoma, Wesmael. 

 Felecystoiiia eupoeyice, n. sp. 



9 . — Length, 4.5 mm. Head, thorax and abdomen above brownish- 

 yellow; collar above, the middle mesothoracic lobe anteriorly, the lateral 

 lobes and the metathorax, fuscous or blackish; head beneath mouth parts, 

 pronotum, thorax at sides and beneath, tegulae, legs and venter, white; the 

 tarsi more or less and the femora toward apex with a decided yellowish 

 tinge ; stemmaticum dusky, the ocelli pale ; occiput with two dusky spots. 

 Antennae 48-jointed, slender, much longer than the body, the scape and 

 pedicel somewhat dusky, the flagellum pale brownish-yellow. Mesono- 

 tum smooth, trilobed, the metanotum shagreened. Wmgs hyaline ; the 

 costa, stigma, poststigmatal and basal veins pale yellowish, the other veins 

 dusky; second abscissa of radius about three times as long as the first, 

 the second submarginal cell, therefore, long, longer than the first and 

 almost as long as the third. Abdomen as long or possibly a little longer 

 than the head and thorax united. Segments 1-3 coarsely longitudinally 

 striated, the following almost smooth, but opaque ; the first segment is 

 scarcely as long as the second and third united, the third about half the 

 length of the second, the fourth and following shorter, subequal ; oviposi- 

 tor distinctly exserted, scarcely as long as the basal joint of hind tarsi, the 

 tip black. Type, No. 3648, U. S. N. M. 



Described from a single female specimen. 



Crypturus, Grav^nhorst. 

 Crypturiis Dyari, n. sp. 



$ . — Length, 6.5 to 8.5 mm. Head and thorax marked with white, 

 the abdomen black banded with white ; antennae with a broad white 

 annulus ; palpi and legs fulvous. Antennae 29-30-jointed, black ; the 

 apex of joint 6, joints 7-1 1 entirely, and base of 12th joint, white. Clypeus, 

 a spot above, spot on cheeks, anterior orbits extending to back of eyes, 

 collar above, large spot just before the hind angles of pronotum, two 

 abbreviated median lines on mesonotum, spots on mesonotum ridges that 

 extend to scutellum, the scutellum, the postscutellum, the tegulje, a spot
