The type of this species has been lost. The writer's conception of 

 the species is based upon specimens in the National Collection de- 

 termined by Ashmead, and which appear to agree in every respect 

 with the original description. There are in the United States Na- 

 tional Museum numerous representatives of the species, for the most 

 part consisting of collected material, but including also the follow- 

 ing: A series bearing Bureau of Entomology No. 3638-^^, reared 

 from Tinea pellionella; two specimens reared by W, D. Kearfott from 

 the same host ; and a series from Trichophaga tapetiella, bearing the 

 number 240'*, without further data.
