102 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



trochanters, pale yellowish ; the middle and hind coxse have a black spot 

 at base, the hind legs, except as noted, being ferruginous, the tips of the 

 tibiffi, tips of the first and second joints, and the fifth joint of tarsi, fuscous, 

 the tibial spurs white ; the abdomen, except the apex of the first and the 

 second dorsal segments, and some marks on the venter and laterally on 

 segments 3 to 7, is black, the apex of first and second dorsal segments 

 and marks on segments 3 to 7 are ferruginous ; the ventral segments 2 

 and 3, except a quadrate black spot at base of the third, are yellowish- 

 white. Wings hyaline, the stigma and veins rufo-testaceous. 



Type.— Cat. No. 7779, U. S. N. M. 



St. Petersburg, Russia. Described from a single ^ , bred by Mr. 

 Jacob Schreiner from the larva of Plntella cruciferaruni, Zeller. 



This is the first European species to be described in this genus, 

 although I suspect, just as is the case in America, that other species are 

 described under the genus Cremastus. 



Genus Epiurus, Forster. 



Epiurus carpocapsce, new species. —  $ . Length, 6 mm.; ovipositor 

 about 2 mm. Head, the prothorax, except the upper hind angles, and the 

 first abdominal segment towards base, black, rest of thorax and the 

 abdomen rufo-testaceous ; antennre and legs, except as noted, pale 

 ferruginous, the base and apex of hind tibiae and the tips of the joints of 

 the hind tarsi, black, the rest of the hind tibia;, between the black annuli 

 at base and apex, and the tarsi, white. Wings hyaline, the stigma and 

 veins reddish-brown. 



Type.— Cat. No. 7780, U. S. N. M. 



St. Petersburg, Russia. Described from a single $ , bred by Mr. 

 Jacob Schreiner from Carpocapsa pomo?iella, Linne. 



This species is evidently allied to Pitnpla diiuta, Ratzeb., which 

 should be relegated to this genus. 



The hosts of these parasites are widely distributed in North America, 

 and do considerable damage, so that these parasites discovered by Mr. 

 Schreiner should be introduced into our fauna to aid in destroying these 

 pests of the cabbage and apple. 



CORRECTION OF NAME. " , 

 Prof. Cockerell writes me that the name Noctua umbrosa has been 

 used previously (Newman, British Moths, p. 352), and that my species of 

 that name (Can. Ent., XXXVI , 31, 1904) will have to be changed. I 

 therefore propose that it be called perumbrosa. Harrison G. Dyar.
