 specimens from Mexico and Cuba.

Originally described from Texas. I took two specimens in Florida 

 last summer. 



4. ISinicra flavopicta Cresson. 



I took two specimens of this species last autunm ; it was originally 

 described from Cuba. 



5. Smicra torvina Cresson. 



Two specimens of this species were bred from lai'VJe feeding on 

 oak leaves, with about fifty specimens of an undetermined ichneumon. 



The chalcids made their appearance long after the ichneumons, 

 and they may be secondary parasites on it.
