Pergande in the bureau files relates to the rearing of the latter speci- 

 men; it is as follows: "A very curious cocoon of an Ichneumonid 

 was found by Koebele on an apple tree on the Agricultural Grounds 

 May 23, 1885. The cocoon is elongate, squarish, pointed toward 

 both ends, light brown, and is held in place by three long threads, 

 each thread being about equal in length and placed in such a 

 position as to hold the cocoon between them suspended. The fly 

 issued June 10." 



The Florida specimen has more black, especially on the lateral 

 lobes of the mesoscutum and scutellum, and is considerably larger 

 than the type. The other specimen has the thorax less contrast- 

 ingly colored with more red on the mesoscutum and scutellum. 



The type is from New York. 



CHLOROLYCORINA ALBOMARGINATA (Cresson). 



Glypta albomarginaia Cresson, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, vol. 3, 1870, p. 157, 



female. Type.— No. 1465, Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. 

 Toxophoroides albomarginata (Cresson) Viereck, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol, 42, 



1912, p. 645. 



Discussion based on type, a female specimen compared with type 

 by the present writer, one other female, and one male. 



Distinct from scitula (Cresson) by the key characters. 



The two National Museum female specimens show some color 

 variation from the type, both showing red on the mesopleura. 

 The specimen compared with the type also has the black of the 

 front and middle coxae replaced by red. The male is very similar 

 to the female, differing principally in having the face entirely pale. 



Tlie last mentioned female specimen was reared by C. II. Ely 

 July 2, 191.2, at East River, Connecticut, from Ypsolophus hipunc- 

 tellus Walsingham, while the other female is from Cranmoor, 

 Wisconsin, taken by C. W. Hooker on October 10, 1910. The 

 male was reared by Dwight Isely at Bentonville, Arkansas, under 

 Quaintance No. 16379 from Canarsia liammondi Riley. The type 

 is from Maine. These are apparently the only known specimens. 



CHLOROLYCORINA SOROR, new species. 



Female. — Length 5 mm., ovipositor 1.5 mm. 



Closely related to albomarginata (Cresson), from which it differs 

 principally as follows: face with two narrow pale stripes in the 

 black median area; malar space much shorter than basal width 

 of mandible; hind coxae and trochanters black, the former white 

 at apex; ovipositor not longer than hind tibia. 



Head polished; face sparsely punctate; temples convex; thorax 

 polished, sparsely punctate; scutellum broad and broadly rounded 

 at apex; propodeum rather sparsely punctate; abdomen densely, 

 finely punctate; ovipositor as long as hind tibia.
