 this to be a misprint for Campoplex nolae (Ashmead). 



LYMEON? TESTACEIPES, new species. 



" Adiostola tcstaccipes Ashmead n. sp.." Slosson, Ent. News, vol. 17, 1906, 

 p. 324. 



In translating Foerster's key to the Hemiteloidae Ashmead inter- 

 j^reted " Die Leiste des H.-Haupts in der Mitte stark spitzwinklig " 

 as " Metanotum with the apical carina strongly angulated or toothed." 

 He therefore ran the present species by Lymeon in spite of the dis- 

 tinctly angulate occipital carina. 



While I find no particular in which the species differs from the de- 

 scription of Lymeon I refer it doubtfully to that genus because of my 

 belief that the genotypes of Foerster's genera should be selected from 

 among the European species. Apparently no European species has 

 been referred to Lymeon. 



Female. — Length, 4 mm. ; antennae, 3 mm. 



Head and thorax shagreened impunctate; temples narrow and 

 strongly receding; eyes large, nearly hemispherical, only slightly 

 longer than wide, strongly divergent below; ocelli very small, in a 

 nearly equilateral triangle; malar space a third as long as eye and 

 much longer than basal width of mandible; clypeus short, weakly 

 separated, broadly rounded at apex ; mandibles only slightly narrow- 

 ing toward apex, convex, teeth equal ; palpi of ordinary length ; an- 

 tennae slender at base, stout beyond middle, first two flagellar joints 

 slender, subequal, the third slightly shorter and stouter, middle joints 

 fully as thick as long ; notauli distinct anteriorly ; pronotum striate in 

 impression ; sternauli strong, nearly complete, f oveolate ; propodeum 

 nearly completely areolated, only the apical abscissa of median carinae 

 lacking, apical carina especially strong and subangulate at sides; 

 areola long pentagonal, costulae at about the middle; propodeum 

 longitudinally rugulose apically and laterally; legs stout, especially 

 the hind tibiae, which are slightly smaller at extreme apex than just 

 before apex ; wings without a trace of second intercubitus ; nervellus 

 broken below middle ; abdomen hardly as long as head and thorax ;
