12 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol.58. 



The unique type male, reared by Miss M. E. Murtfeldt in Missouri 

 from a tortricid on oak, is extremely like apicalis (Cresson). It is 

 very likely the male of that species, but since the infuscation of the 

 apices of the wings is very weak and since it comes from such a 

 widely different locality, it seems inadvisible to synonymize it. 



In the type the propodeum can hardly be said to be distinctly 

 divided transversely since the sculpture is so weak that it is incon- 

 spicuous.

Discussion based on the type and a specimen compared with the 

 type by S. A. Rohwer. 



Both the specimens examined are from Mexico and hence out of 

 the restricted area covered by the present paper, but the species is so 

 closely allied to xanthozonata (Ashmead) and possibly identical with 

 it that it is included. 



The writer has not examined the type but Mr. Rohwer has done so 

 and has compared a National Museum specimen with it. Mr. Rohwer 

 was of the opinion that the two specimens are conspecific and made 

 the following comparative notes:. "Tlie National Museum specimen 

 is smaller, sculpture of abdomen not as dense but of the same type, 

 and the black of the abdomen forms complete bands (in the type 

 the black is separated mediall}^ on first by a very little but more 

 widely on other segments)." Compared with Cresson's description 

 this specimen also differs as follows : The maculation of the mesoscutum 

 consists of three parallel streaks, one on the prescutum and one on 

 each of the lateral lobes, and a triangular spot in front of the scutellum; 

 in addition to the black markings mentioned by Cresson there is one 

 on each side of pronotum, the two connected by a line, a large spot at 

 base of propodeum, almost interrupted in the middle, and a small, 

 nearly round median apical spot; only the apical joint of hind tro- 

 chanters black; ovipositor nearly as long as abdomen; length 4.5 mm. 



TOXOPHOROIDES GLAUCOMATUS, new species. 



Closely related to apicalis Cresson, but easily distinguished by the 

 prominent eyes and flat temples and vertex. 



FemaZe.— Length 9 mm., antennae 8 mm., ovipositor 3.5 mm. 



Head in front view very strongly transverse, the eyes large and 

 prominent, the cheeks, temples, and vertex flat, the last below level 

 of top of eyes; face slightly convex with a shallow longitudinal groove 

 on each side, weakly punctate below antennae; head otherwise im-
