37. Eiicyrtus inquisitor Howard. 



A single specimen of this species was taken on a Coccid Lecanium 

 sp on Pine. 



38. Eiicyrtus solus Howard. 



One specimen, evidently this species, was reared from Trioza mag- 

 nolUe Ashm. The wings were dusky ; Mr. Howard says nothing 

 about wing characters in his description. 



39. Encyrtus sublestus Howard. 



A male and female of this species were reared from a Coccid 

 Lecanlnm sp occurring on Pinus austmUs last summer. 



40. Eucyrtus mesograptie Ashm. 



Numerous specimens of this species were reared in my work for 

 the Department of Agriculture last summer from the pupre of the 

 syri)hid fly Mesograpta polita Say. It is very closely related to E. 

 mblestus. Howard. 



41. Eneyrtus aplii<li|>I»agus Ashm. 



Numerous specimens of this species were reared from the cabbage 

 Aphis, Aphis hramcce Linn., last summer. 



42. Encyrtus 4-inac'ulatse Ashm. 



This species was described as a Pteromalas ; it is very close to E. 

 mblestus and E. mesograptce Ashm., but probably distinct. My types 

 are in poor condition and the species was very imperfectly character-
