101. APANTELES LIMENITIDIS (Riley). 



Microgaster limenitidis Riley, 3d Ann. Rep. Insects Missouri, 1871, p. 158. 

 Apanteles limenitidis Riley, Packard, Proc. Boston Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. 

 21, 1881, p. 28 ; Riley, in Scudder, Butterflies U. S., 1889, p. 1902. 

 Habitat, — Connecticut ; Missouri ; Massachusetts 

 Host. — Basilarchia archiypus Cramer, 

 Cocoons. — Pale yellow ; solitary. 



Represented in the National Collection by the type series only ; it 

 has, however, been recorded from the above-named host in Connecti- 

 cut, and the writer has seen a specimen, reared from the same host in 

 Massachusetts, in the collection of the Gipsy Moth Laboratory at 

 Melrose Highlands, Massachusetts. 



102. APANTELES AGRICOLA (Viereck). 



Apanteles (Protapanteles) agricola Viereck, Bull. 22, Conn. State Geol. and 

 Nat. Hist. Survey, 1916, pp. 186, 192. 



Habitat. — Connecticut. 



Hos t. — Unknown. 



Known only from the unique type, which is in the collection of the 

 Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. 



The species is verj'' similar to nemoriae, from which it appears to 

 differ only in being not so deep black ; it may ultimately prove to be 

 that species. 



103. APANTELES NEMORIAE Ashmead. 



Apanteles nemoriae Ashmead, Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., vol. 4, 1897, p. 160. — 



DiMMOCK, Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., vol. 4, 1897, p. 152. 

 Apanteles (Protapanteles) tcdnkleyi Viereck, Bull. 22, Conn. State Geol. 



and Nat. Hist. Survey, 1916, pp. 186 and 192. 



Habitat. — New Hampshire; Connecticut; Tennessee; District of 

 Columbia. 



Hosts. — {Nemoria) Haematopis grataria Fabricius; Eupithecia 

 miserulata Grote; Pleuroprucha insulsaria Guenee; Chlorochlaviys 

 chloroleucaria Gnenee (Dimmock). 



Cocoons. — Yellowish-white ; solitary. 



Represented in the United States National Museum by the Ash- 

 mead and Viereck types ; also by one specimen from AVashington, Dis- 

 trict of Columbia, C. L. Marlatt, collector, host not given ; and by a 

 large series of specimens from Knoxville, Tennessee, reared from 

 Pleuroprucha insulsaria Guenee by W. B. Cartwright, of the Bureau 

 of Entomology. 



A careful study of the type material has convinced the writer that 

 winkleyi Viereck is identical with nemoriae Ashmead.
