32. Enpelmus re«Iuvii Howard. 



Several specimens of an Eupelmid which I take to be this species 

 were reared last summer fi'om the eggs of the common squash bug 

 Anam tristis DeG.

A single specimen of this species v;as reared this January from 

 oak gall Holcaspis ficigene Ashm.

34. CerapteroceiMis fIori<Iuiaii!« n. sp. — %. Length .08 inch. Blue- 

 black, the scutellum plumbeus. The head is oblonji, flat; eyes large, prominent, 

 long-oval, occupying at least two-thirds the length of the long head ; the an- 

 tennae, including the scape and the flagelhim, ai-e broadly widened or dilated, 

 pubescent, they issue just above the mouth ; the scape has an peneous or greenish 

 lustre in diflferent lights ; the flagellum is brown black. The legs are pale yel- 

 lowish with the middle and posterior femora infuscated and the posterior tibiae 

 at tips are also dusky. The wings are clear hyaline, with a rather long marginal 

 vein. 



Described from a single specimen captured at large in April, 1884. 



This is an interesting addition to our fauna, being the first of the 

 genus to be described in N. A. and is very distinct from the two 

 European species C. mirabUls Westw. and C. corniger Walker.

3.5. Hoinalofylus siniilis n. sp. — Diflfers from Homalotylus obscurus 

 Howard, in having all the tarsi white, excepting the apical tarsal joints of the 

 posterior legs. The inner margins of the eyes are covered with a short, dense, 

 silvery pubescence; the thorax is also sparsely pubescent. The scutellum is 

 brown, not dead black. The metapleurje are densely pubescent and the abdomen 

 has a greenish lustre. 



Described from one specimen bred in August, 1886, from pupa of 

 Scymniis cervicalis. 



Mr. Howard's species was bred from the larva of Cycloneda san- 

 guined. My Homalotylus lachni, bred from an Aphis, Lachnus aus- 

 tralis Ashm., I think, does not belong to this genus, but to the genus 

 Phcenodiscus Forst.
