June, '03] ENTOMOLOGICAL XK\VS. 1 93 



The species was first bred by Miss Mary Murtfelclt, at Kirk- 

 wood, Mo., from Orinenh pnii/iosa Say, and now by Mr. Otto 

 H. Swezey, at Columbus, Ohio, from O. scptetitrionalis. He has 

 also bred Gonatopus (Labeo) typhlocybcc Ashm. from the same 



host. 



Family ENCYRTID^E. 



Cheiloneurus swezeyi, new species. 



Female Length 1.5 mm. Brownish-yellow above, the scutellum 

 bright rust red, with a tuft of black bristles at apex ; eyes large, brown- 

 black with a faint purplish tinge in certain lights ; the temples, cheeks 

 and the thorax beneath pallid or whitish, the mesosternum with a black 

 streak ; the abdomen, especially above, blackish or dark brown ; antennae 

 broken ; front wings hyaline towards base, fuscous on apical two-thirds 

 and with a purplish iridescent spot at lower apical corner. The mesono- 

 tnm is clothed with a fine, short, silvery pubescence. 



Male. Length o 8 to i mm. Colored similar to the female, only the 

 thorax is more whitish at sides and beneath, the tuft of hairs on scutellum 

 sometimes absent, the head smaller, the legs yellowish, the trochanters 

 and base of femora white, the middle femora and tibiae, except a pale an- 

 nulus at base, more of a brownish-yellow, the latter with a blackish pubes- 

 ence outwardly ; tarsi pale ; wings clear hyaline. 



Type. Cat. No. 6767, U. S. N. M. 



Described from 2 9 and 3 $ specimens in poor condition. 

 Mr. Swezey reports this from Dryiniis ormcnidis, but Chcilo- 

 ncurns is parasitic on Coccids and some mistake has been 

 made. I see no reason wht it might not be a primary para- 

 site on Onncnis, which -in the larval stage resembles a mealy- 

 bug. 



The Psychophora Mix-up. II. 



BY HARRISON G. DYAR. 



I have previously referred to the identification of the genus 

 Psychopliora (ENT. NEWS, xiii, 191, 1902) as made by Dr. 

 Skinner and differing from that generally accepted. Referen- 

 ces to the species P. sabinii Kirby are given in Dr. Skinner's 

 article ( KNT. NKWS, xiii, 141, 1903), and by Pagenstecher 

 i Fauna Arctica, ii, 323, 1901 I. The old identification of the 

 genus is typified in Gueiii.Vs /.araifia fn'^iilai'ia , which, ac- 

 cording to Hulst, belongs of the Geometricke, subfamily 1I\ 

 driominse. Hulst gives as a synonym of this species
