grooves weak; connate suture foveolate only medially; third tergite 

 with only faint indications of embossed area and lateral grooves. 



Ferruginous with black as follows : A large roundish spot covering 

 middle of vertex, frons except narrow orbits, face immediately below 

 antennae, very narrow posterior orbits, antennae, palpi, mandibles 

 largely, maxillae, propleiira, more or less of anterior lateral margin 

 of pronotum, mesoscutum except middle of posterior margin, 

 tegulae, most of lateral areas of scutellum and postscutellum, meso- 

 scernum, apex of metapleurum, legs, and ovipositor sheath; wings 

 blackish, venation black; trochanters more or less piceous, apices of 

 tarsal points more or less reddish. 



Male. — Eyes much larger, distinctly longer than width of face, the 

 short diameter longer than temple; malar space and distance from 

 eye to " mouth-opening " correspondingly reduced ; lateral furrows 

 of second tergite and embossed area of third somewhat more distinct. 



Head black except frontal orbits and more or less of posterior 

 orbits ; thorax black, pronotum more or less reddish laterally, scutel- 

 lum at apex and laterally yellowish, the color extending on mesoscu- 

 tum as far as tegulae ; mesopleurum below and mesosternum more or 

 less yellowish. 



Host. — Anocomis Jignea Fabricius. 



Type.— U.S.N.M. No. 42904, from Tod Inlet, Vancouver Island, 

 British Columbia. 



Five females and two males received from the Provincial Museum 

 of British Columbia and reared in May, 1926, by G. A. Hardy. 



In some of the females, there are additional blackish stains on the 

 thorax, especially laterally on scutellum, anteriorly on mesopleurum, 

 and around the propodeal spiracles. 



In the allotype male, the red of the posterior orbits is confined to 

 a narrow line behind the eye ; in the paratype, it extends nearly the 

 width of the temple; in the paratype, the red of the pronotum and 

 the yellow of the mesopleurum and sternum are much more extensive 

 than in the allotype. 



A paratj'pe of each sex is returned to the Provincial Museum of 

 British Columbia.
