Superfamily ICHNEUMONOIDEA 649 



stenostigma (Thomson). Southern N. H., Mass., N. Y., n. Del.?, s.e. Ont., n.e. Ohio, w. Colo.; w. 

 U. S. S. R., s. Sweden s. to s. Germany and n. France. Introduced. Host: Hypera postica 

 (Gyll.). B. steiiostigyna differs from other Bathyplectes species with known biologies in 

 that its fmal-instar larva emerges from the host larva before the latter spins its cocoon. 

 It is interesting that this biological difference in stenostigma would appear to correlate 

 with its habit of spinning a double cocoon (see Brunson and Coles, 1968). The 

 introductions in western Colo, were apparently accompanied by the accidental release 

 and unfortunate establishment of the thelytokous hyperparasite which I have identified 

 as Mesochorus nigripes (Ratzeburg) (which see). 

 Canidia stenostigma Thomson, 1887. Opusc. Ent. 11: 1114. cJ ? (9 misdet.). Thomson failed 

 to insert the sex symbols which usually preceded his statement of length, or range of 

 lengths, for each species (in this case "Long, vix 4 mm."), or perhaps omission of the sex 

 symbols was a printers error. From Thomson's description of the ovipositor it is 

 apparent that he had a female. Neither Thomson's length measurment, nor anything 

 else in his description indicate that he had a male specimen or a second specimen of 

 either sex. Therefore, the validity of Aubert's (1970) selection of a male lectotype 

 labeled "Germ." (and relegation of a female specimen to paralectotype status) would 

 appear to rest solely upon whether or not it can be disproved that the male was found 

 near Aachen by Foerster, the only source Thomson cited for his specimen (or 

 specimens) of stenostigma.

 tristis (Gravenhorst). N. Y. w. to s. Mich, and e. Kans., s. to n.w. S. C. and n. Miss.; also central 

 Calif.; s.w. Asia (U. S. S. R.), Europe. Introduced. Host: Hypera punctata (F.). The 

 species is thelytokous, but males have been collected in N. J., Pa., Md., and Va. Possibly, 

 males are even rarer in Europe because Horstmann (1974) had seen none.
