half of the surface. The ovipositor is often extruded a little. No 

 parapsidal furrows. Club 5-jointed, 



PHANURUS TABANIVORUS Ashmead. 



The second segment of the body of the abdomen (segment 3) 

 occupies a third of the surface ; the abdomen is a half longer than the 

 rest of the body. The eyes are hairy, the vertex scaly, the face in 

 front of the cephalic ocellus, subglabrous. 



TRISSOLCUS TRINIDADENSIS Crawford. 



Four females from pentatomid eggs, Port of Spain, April 1913, 

 (F. W. Urich). The scutellum bears a median carina. Mr. J. C. 

 Crawford has called my attention to the fact that the median of the 

 three "sulci" on the thorax in this genus is a narrow carina, not a 

 sulcus: this is quite true. The club is 6-jointed in this species. 



HADRONOTUS AJAX, new species. 



Of the stature of the larger species. 



Differs from insularis Ashmead in having but the coxae black, the 

 puncturation of segment 3 of the abdomen is much finer, the form less 

 robust, the abdomen less pubescent and the antennal club less stout. 

 From anasae, besides the color of the legs, notably in the sculpture of 

 the abdomen, body segment 2 not strongly striate but densely punc- 

 tate. From rugiceps in having the fore femur black, the flagellum 

 black, the marginal vein only a little more than half the length of the 

 stigmal; also the head and thorax are uniformly sculptured. From 

 carinatifrons in that the face is cross-striate only in the scrobes. 

 Agi-ees with the description of the last-named species except as noted 

 and the second body segment of the abdomen has a row of deep 

 punctures along its proximal margin from which short striae proceed ; 

 also the coxae are black and the marginal vein not as long as described 

 for the West Indian species. Sometimes the cephalic femur is black 

 and the scape is often dark. Puncturation of the abdomen much 

 finer than that of the thorax. There are two rather large UTegular 

 areas just caudad of the anterior ocellus and bounded by a carina. 

 Apex of pedicel and funicle 1-4 may be reddish like the scape. Legs 

 reddish, not honey yellow. The male is similar but the antennae 

 filiform; the flagellum black, moniliform except the club and funicle 

 1 which are subequal and a third longer than wide, the other joints a 

 little wider than long. 



A common species in the United States. There are specimens in 

 the United States National Museum from Kirkwood, Missouri 

 (Murtfeldt), and from Paris, Texas. ^ 



Described from a series reared at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, from 

 the eggs of Anasa tristis (T. H. Jones), September, 1915.
