however, they agreed -with, the types of the typical form but may be 

 distinguished by having the median channel of the propodeum single 

 at distal fourth. But this varies somewhat in the typical form. Of 

 the latter, three females, Falls Church, Virginia (R. A. Cushman), from 

 lepidopteron galls on Solidago. 



Also the variety at Front Royal, Virginia, Holliday, Utah, and 

 Waterloo, New York. 



NEORILEYA FLAVIPES Ashmead. 



The parapsidal furrows are complete. From the type. 



DECATOMA FLAMMINNEFVENTRIS, new species. 



Female. — ^Length, 2.45 mm. 



Reddish yellow, the head and legs honey yellow; ocellar area 

 narrovvdy, occiput circularly above the center, a triangular spot at 

 meson of caudal margin of pronotum, median line of scutum broadly, 

 scutellum except the lateral and caudal margins narrowly, cephalic 

 margin of propodeum except laterad, median channel of same to the 

 neck and petiole at apex, black. Substigmal blotch of fore ^^^ng 

 round or ovate, reaching only about a third of the waj^ across. Funi- 

 cle and club dark bro^^^^ (in one specimen). Umbilicately punctate, 

 moderately coarsely so, the propodeum rugose with a distinct median 

 channel. Abdomen shining, somewhat compressed, segments 2, 4 

 and 5 subequal. Pedicel a little longer than funicle 1, over twice 

 longer than wide at apex. Eyes naked. 



The male has the spot on the pronotum larger and connected along 

 the meson %vith the black cephalic face of prothorax, the axillae are 

 tipped with black mesad, the much longer petiole is black above 

 except marginally, while the caudal coxa bears an elongate spot from 

 base, lateral aspect. 



Two pairs, parasitic upon Prodoxus ded/piens, Fort Collins, Colorado, 

 September 19, 1893 (C. F. Baker). 



Types. — Cat. No. 20867, U.S.N.M. llie above specimen on tags. 



DECATOMA FLORIDA, new species. 



Female. — Similar to marilandica but the mouth is narrowly yellow, 

 the coxae black, the legs lemon yellow and the propodeum has only 

 the dorso-cephalic corner widely yellow; also the tegula is yellow. 

 Segment 3 of abdomen distinctly shorter than 2 or 4, the abdomen 

 glabrous, otherwise as in the named species but the median channel of 

 the propodeum has a large round fovea at base, the basin less rugulose. 



Two females, Jacksonville, Florida (W. H. Ashmead). 



Type.— Cat. No. 20S6S, U.S.N.M. Two females on tag.
