A NEW SPECIES OF PSEUDOMPHALE FROM CHILE. 



BY A. A. GIRAULT, 



Bureau of Entomology, U. S. Dept. Agriculture. 



The genus Pseudomphale Schrottky is the same as Horismeniis 

 in the North American sense. It may be Horismeniis in the Euro- 

 pean sense, yet doubtfully. There are three ring-joints. The 

 single Australian species of Horisnienus represents a new genus 

 which may be named Horismenopsis, new genus. The genotype is 

 Horismeniis antiopa Girault. The following new species of Horis- 

 meniis was found in the collections of the LInited States National 

 Museum when reviewing the North American Entedonina;. 



1. Pseudomphale hypatia, new species. 



Female. — Length, 2.50 mm.- 



Differs from lixivorus Crawford in that the tibia- are not dark, 

 but merely embrowned centrally or brown except at tips; the 

 stripe of scaliness across near apex of segment 2 of the abdomen 

 is not so wide nor so produced proximad at lateral margin, the 

 petiole is distinctly shorter and vertical, the abdomen subsessile. 

 the median carina of the propodeum longer and broader. P>om 

 floridanus Ashmead in the same particulars except the tibia-, 

 which are darker than in that species, brown, not white; also in 

 ■floridanus, segment 2 of the abdomen is longer, slightly over half 

 the length of that region (somewhat less than half in this new 

 species) ; also the thorax is blue, not black. Differs from micro- 

 gaster Ashmead in the shorter segment 2 of the abdomen. Runs 

 close to brasiliensis Ashmead, but differs in the shorter abdominal
